How can we explain the appearance of cracks in foundations?

Harsh climate: an undeniable factor in the formation of foundation cracks

First and foremost, you need to be aware that the appearance of Foundation cracks is normal, regardless of the age of the house. They are often due to complicated weather or climate, as can be found in North America.

The quality of the concrete and soil at the time you laid your foundations should also be taken into account. To find out if you need to repair a foundation crack from the inside, it is necessary to check if the crack extends below the surface of the ground.

Cracks in a window corner

As you can see in the video, Foundation cracks are often created in a window corner. They are regularly created in the upper part of the window and in more than half of the cases, another one will form in the lower part. These are often vertical shrinkage cracks that appear a few months after the façade is built.

Windows reduce the strength of the concrete and create a void in the foundation, making the structure more vulnerable.

The problem with these cracks is that they often lead to water infiltration, which poses a risk to the structure of the building.
