This statement may be alarming, and it was meant to be. However, please understand that not all cracks are serious enough to the point of repair. As a matter of fact, all concrete cracks. The old saying is “With a batch of concrete comes a batch of cracks.” As a matter of design, concrete driveways, for instance, have expansion joints placed to control these cracks. The complication of diagnosing a structural crack must take into consideration all of the surrounding circumstances.
Repairs that stand the test of time. Quite simply, the purpose of foundation walls is to keep the house up, and keep the ground out. The fact is, most cracks in a foundation are cosmetic in nature. Like old age begets wrinkles, old homes beget cracks.
Basement and structural cracking analysis is not an amateur sport. If you have any questions or concerns, Mccoy is here to help. About 80% of the homeowners that we visit to investigate structural cracks do not require a basement repair.
Everyone at McCoy who worked on our home foundation repair operated with utmost integrity, precision, efficiency, and professionalism. In addition, their staff are skilled communicators, which helps the property owner understand the process and know what to watch out for in the future. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing foundation work on your home or business, call McCoy. Special thanks to Bob, Bradd, Pablo, and Larry. Stay safe!
