Building construction is a fascinating topic when it comes to the support
at its base. A foundation is basically hardened concrete supported by
forms, rebar and compacted soil. Thousands of pounds rest on this
concrete pad. It makes sense that some anomalies might occur over
time. Take a moment to learn about normal settling and serious shifting
when it comes to a cracked foundation.

Shifting
The Water Factor
A telltale sign that indicates a shifted foundation is water around the home's
perimeter. If there are any crawlspaces, water might puddle here too. This
moisture might come from cracked pipes within the foundation. There could
also be a natural reservoir being infringed upon by the shifting concrete.
If you notice any unexplained water around your San Antonio property, focus
on its cause. Leaving water in and around the property will only lead to
further erosion. This scenario is considered a serious, shifting problem if it
goes overlooked.

Shifting
Narrow Fissures
Cracked foundation professionals will classify your property as settling if
narrow fissures are present. In general, cracks that are narrower than one-
quarter of an inch aren't cause for concern. Concrete doesn't automatically
cure after being poured. It takes months and sometimes years to entirely
harden. The ground shifts along with the structure. It's natural to have some
small cracks as indicators of settling over the years.
Keep an eye on any cracks that are moving, however. Harmless cracks
remain the same size. Growing cracks may be the beginning of a shifting
scenario. Foundation contractors must evaluate this situation before it
escalates.

Pitched Floors and Staircases
Contact foundation contractors when your home seems to have a sudden angle to its
walking spaces. Your staircase may not be perfectly attached to the wall or upper floor
anymore. Look at the floor. It may be warped on the ground level.
Any of these scenarios indicates a severe movement at the foundation's level. Trusted
contractors may be able to pinpoint the cause and develop a repair plan. Most
foundations can be repaired when they're serviced as soon as the issue develops.

Sealed Cracks
If you've ever replaced your carpet on the ground floor, you may have
caught a glimpse of cracks previously sealed by other owners. There's no
harm in sealing cracks that are narrow fissures. The seals should still be
intact if the foundation is normally settling.
When you observe cracks that are expanding outward from the sealed areas,
you need to react with a professional evaluation. What started out as
normal settling can now be a shift that may harm the structure. Your soil
might have expansion and contraction issues that are now extreme from
frigid temperatures or sudden heat waves.

Ceiling and Wall Misalignment from a Cracked Foundation
Listening to your house throughout a given day offers you a festival of sounds.
Wood, drywall and concrete are constantly moving in minute amounts. This
scenario is normal. There shouldn't be any observable shifts at the wall-and-
ceiling connections, however.
Take a look at these structural corners. Ideally, they should reflect 90-degree
angles. Materials at an angle or pulling away from each other should be taken
seriously. The foundation is moving enough that it's impacting your structure
several feet away.

In general, cracks that are narrower than one- quarter of an inch aren't cause for concern. Concrete doesn't automatically cure after being poured. It takes months and sometimes years to entirely harden. The ground shifts along with the structure. It's natural to have some small cracks as indicators of settling over the years. Keep an eye on any cracks that are moving, however. Harmless cracks remain the same size. Growing cracks may be the beginning of a shifting scenario.
