It’s easy to panic and assume foundation damage is to blame if you find a hairline crack in a wall or floor of your home, but Reliable Crack Injection in Cincinnati, OH, recommends taking a closer look before picking up the phone.

Specializing in basement waterproofing, Reliable Crack Injection has been repairing cracked foundations for more than 10 years. Not every crack is a sign your foundation has damage that needs to be repaired, so it’s important to know how to differentiate between something that’s harmless and something that isn’t.

Look for these telltale signs of a damaged or cracked foundation, and then call a professional:

• Uneven Floors: If your floors are sloping or uneven, have your foundation inspected as soon as possible.
• Doors/Windows That Don’t Close Properly: While there could be other causes, this could easily mean your foundation is damaged, too.
• Cracks In Walls: Depending on where the crack is and how large it is, a crack could be a normal sign of settling. However, big cracks, especially in a brick wall outside, are cause for alarm.
• Water Seepage: If you are experiencing water seeping into your home from outside near your foundation, have it checked immediately. A leaky basement is never a good sign.

There are many types of foundation damage, ranging from severe to mild. Reliable Crack Injection will inspect your foundation to determine the severity of the issue. Whether it’s a cracked foundation or a leaky basement, they will offer a solution to correct the problem.
