Floor Cracks and Basement Waterproofing

During the average home's lifetime, there are bound to be waterproofing and structural issues. Just like other common issues you may experience more often upstairs, it's part of the game. Some of these issues, like your windows fogging up in the winter, can be indicative of a larger issue (insufficient insulation and weatherproofing).

Floor cracks, like many other basement waterproofing warning signs, can certainly be one of these indicators. Basement floor cracks can point to larger issues such as foundation settlement and hydrostatic water pressure buildup.

Each of these issues requires a different strategy––a general rule of thumb is, if one side of the crack is taller (or one half sinks), you may be dealing with a larger structural issue that may require the attention of a foundation professional.
