The basement wall can be cracked due to various reasons such as soil pressure, temperature changes and water leakage. If the cracks are neglected, they will cause:
- Water damage: Cracks allow water to seep in and pool in your basement, leaving you with mildew, ruined furniture, and a musty odor.
- Structural Weakness: Even small cracks can weaken your home’s foundation over time.
- Diminished Property Valuation: A cracked basement wall is a major signal to a purchaser, which lowers your property’s resale price.
