Basement Crack Repair for Griffin homeowners
Griffin has more below-grade walls than the areas south of it and the heaviest clay we work in, so cracked basement walls are one of the more common calls we take in Spalding County.
The clay holds water against the foundation for a week at a time and swells while it does. A block wall under that load cracks along the mortar joints, usually horizontally partway up the wall, and those joints then leak every wet season.
The sequence is assess, relieve, seal. We measure deflection to see whether the wall needs bracing, install stone-packed perimeter drainage to take the pressure out of the clay, and then inject the cracks and treat the joint run. On most Griffin lots the drainage discharges by gravity.
Our basement crack repair scope is the same on every Griffin home, whatever the Spalding County ground turns out to be doing.
