Foundation Crack Repair Services
Many people already know how to notice structural problems going on with their home: cracks. While cracks are most often visible on the exterior the interior ones cannot always be detected by someone without professional training or experience, and those interior cracks could be a sign of more deep-rooted problems.
Consult a Foundation Repair Specialist
It is important to consult a professional masonry company that has experience in foundation repair as these people are qualified to deal with the delicate inspections, appraisals, and repair services necessary to bring your home’s foundation back into perfect health. With foundation repair in Rhode Island, trying to fix the issue yourself could end up with you missing some foundation weak spots or you may just simply cause more damage than intended.
Besides, not all cracks mean the same thing. What may appear to be a worrying crack in the wall to a homeowner may not actually be tied to any structural or foundation problems at all. Always consult a qualified professional to find out the true nature of any cracks you have noticed.

Causes of Foundation Cracks & Issues
Every home is different, and as a result, each foundation problem may have come from its own unique source. There are so many possible factors to consider when dealing with foundation repair that only a qualified and trained expert could possibly take them all into account.
Concrete Block Foundations
For example, concrete block foundations can produce bulges or cracks due to external pressure from water and shifting soil. These kinds of foundations are more likely to produce horizontal cracking. This is where a trusted engineer should come into play for an examination of any displaced blocks or bricks.
Poured Concrete Foundations
With poured concrete foundations, sometimes mixes of lesser quality concrete can cause unnecessary impact vibrations or mixtures that shrink in size after they harden. This will cause a lot of tension in certain areas which will have an effect on the foundation’s structural integrity over time.
Stone Foundations
Another example is with stone-based foundations. While stone is not a popular foundation these days, it was quite common a couple of hundred years ago. Many of these homes still exist on the market today. Because of the way cement is laid over the stones, water can occasionally get stuck in between them which can lead to deterioration of the foundation over time.
