If you've spotted a crack in your basement wall, it could take many forms—horizontal, vertical, stair-step, hairline, or even wide and V-shaped. Regardless of the crack's shape, it may indicate either a structural foundation issue or be simply due to normal settling or shrinkage.
Horizontal cracks might also come with bowed walls.
An expert is needed to assess whether the crack is threatening the structural stability of your home. A trained professional can evaluate the crack's size and location to determine its cause and assess any potential risks.

After installation, we’ll ask you to take monthly photos of the monitor and send them to us for analysis. If we find that the crack is simply due to normal shrinkage, we’ll be glad to direct you to BasementDepot.com, where you can purchase a DIY crack repair kit if you choose to handle it yourself.
