Foundation Cracks: When to Worry

Foundation Cracks: When to Worry

Not every crack is a structural problem — but knowing which ones to ignore takes experience.

Hairline cracks in concrete are normal and almost universal. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in masonry, and any displacement at the crack line are not.

Our inspectors evaluate foundation cracks in context — width, orientation, location, and signs of recent movement such as fresh debris, separation at trim, or sticking doors. We pair what we see at the foundation with related symptoms inside the home to give you a real opinion, not a CYA referral on everything that catches our eye.

When a structural engineer really is needed, we'll say so clearly and explain why.
