Wall Crack Repair in Iowa and Nebraska

---

Are your wall cracks serious? Without hiring a foundation repair expert, there's no exact way to determine how serious your wall cracks are. However, you may be able to inspect the crack to determine if it is a natural aging process or a major concern. Homes usually settle even after new construction. But if you notice gaping cracks or separating horizontal cracks, then you may have foundation failure. At Jerry's Waterproofing, our experts are trained to identify signs of settlement. We have the skills and expertise to determine how serious your wall cracks may be in your Iowa and Nebraska home.

Serious wall cracks are the result of foundation and structural problems caused by a number of factors, such as:

• Soil settlement
• Concrete shrinkage
• Increase soil pressure
• Water saturated soil
• Poor construction or defects
• Inadequate waterproofing
• Plumbing leaks
• Water seepage or leaks

Regardless of what is causing your wall cracks, we can repair them quickly so you can have peace of mind.

How Serious Are Your Wall Cracks in Iowa and Nebraska?

What are the signs of serious wall cracks? The first thing you need to do is examine the shape and direction of the crack. Also, count the number of cracks. Walk inside and outside of the home to look for additional signs of cracks. Inspect the window sills, chimney, fireplace, and garage. It will be a good idea to take pictures of the cracks and date them to see if there is growth over time.

Other signs of a serious problem are:

• Horizontal cracks
• Jagged 45-degree angle cracks
• Stair-step cracks
• Wall cracks with visible, popping nails
• Wide vertical cracks exceeding 3mm in width
• Angled cracks

Also, look for sticking doors and windows. Settling foundations have sticky doors that are accompanied by visible wide gaps at the top of the door. If your home has any of these signs, contact our professionals. We offer foundation repair solutions to restore your foundation back to normal.
