Small cracks in your crawl space might seem like no big deal, but they can be an early warning sign of larger issues with your foundation. Over time, crawl space cracks let water in, which weakens the concrete and can contribute to mold, dry rot, and uneven floors.
Greenserve’s crawl space and basement specialists bring more than 25 years of combined experience to foundation crack repair and moisture control in the Greater Charlotte area. Our team can evaluate the cracks in your crawl space and find a reliable solution to stop further damage to your home.
What Causes Crawl Space Cracks and How They Impact Your Home
Crawl space cracks can happen for several reasons, including soil movement around your foundation, poor drainage, and even issues with construction. Since your crawl space is a part of your home’s building envelope (the crucial layer that separates your living spaces from the outdoors), these problems under your home hardly ever just stay down there.
Other symptoms that can often coincide with crawl space cracks include:
- Wall or floor cracks upstairs
- Movement or settlement around foundation cracks can show up as new or widening cracks in drywall and tile upstairs.
- Damp air or musty smells
- Cracks in concrete walls and blocks let groundwater seep in, creating a damp environment that’s susceptible to mold growth.
- Uneven, bouncy, or squeaky floors
- The moisture that comes through crawl space cracks can contribute to wood rot and weakened framing, which leads to sagging and noisy floors upstairs.
