Foundation crack


Many homes suffer from foundation cracks, usually they are minor and need only to be sealed with caulking to avoid water and insect intrusion. However, some cracks (such as this one) may indicate serious structural movement and can be expensive to correct. Always monitor any small cracks over time. Use a simple chalk line across the crack to help identify movement. If you notice continual movement and growth of the crack, you may need to address the situation professionally.
