Why Choose Federation Tuckpointing® for Your Wall Crack Repairs?
Cracks in your walls can appear horizontally or vertically, often following the mortar line in a brick wall. Common causes of wall cracks include:
- Tree roots
- Shifting foundations
- Subsidence
- Vibration
- Impact
- Rusting metal
When metal rusts, it can expand up to 10 times its original size, causing the surrounding area to crack and leading to structural damage. Addressing these issues promptly with expert help is crucial to maintaining the safety and integrity of your home.
Identifying the Cause of Cracks
Properly identifying the cause of wall cracks is essential for effective repair. Our process includes:
- Assessment: Determine the exact cause of the cracks.
- Proposal: Develop a tailored plan for repair.
- Execution: Implement the repair to address the underlying issue, not just the symptoms.
Without pinpointing the cause, any repair is merely a temporary fix, leaving the structural damage unresolved and likely to reappear.
Common Causes of Wall Cracks
- Concrete Cancer: Water penetration causes steel reinforcements like lintels to rust, leading to degradation and the need for lintel replacement.
- Material Degradation: Over time, brick and limestone can weaken, causing cracks.
