Basement Crack Repair for Macon homeowners
Cracks in a basement wall come in a few varieties and they mean different things. A thin vertical crack in poured concrete is usually shrinkage from the original cure and it leaks without threatening anything. A stair-step crack through block near a corner points at settlement. A horizontal crack partway up a wall means the wall is being pushed inward.
Reading which one you have matters, because sealing a crack that is still moving is a repair with a short life. On the Piedmont side of Macon we see more movement-related cracking, since the clay swells and shrinks with the season. Toward the Ocmulgee it is more often water finding a shrinkage crack.
Where the crack is stable we inject it, filling the full depth of the wall so water has no path through. Where it is still moving we deal with the cause first, then seal. You get photographs of every crack, an assessment of what caused it, and a fixed written price before anything is injected.
