This article aims to inform you on the signs and sources of cracks in concrete, and how Mount Valley’s proprietary repairs can benefit your home’s safety and stability.
What Is Cracked Concrete?

Cracked concrete is just what it sounds like, the appearance of lines, splits, or fractures in the concrete surfaces around your home. These cracks can vary from minor lines and hairline cracks to widening fractures that completely pass through the depth of the concrete, often compromising structural integrity.
Be on the lookout for cracks on many concrete surfaces, including:
Bear in mind that other damage can also accompany cracking, including:
Mount Valley Foundation Services is aware that cracks and other visible concrete damage can decrease the aesthetic value of your home and present serious tripping and safety hazards. That’s why cracked concrete necessitates immediate attention and remediation. While it may be tempting to delay repairs, swift action is vital to prevent further damage.
Why Your Home Has Cracked Concrete
Cracked concrete can arise due to various reasons, including:
- Settling and eroding soil
- Heavy rain, flooding, or snowmelt
- Freeze-thaw cycles
- Inadequate drainage
- Intrusive tree roots
- Poor concrete pouring
- Issues with curing during installation
- Routine shrinkage, wear, and tear
These common factors weaken the concrete and quickly impact the home’s foundation. Settlement and shifting soil beneath the concrete slabs, coupled with external pressures and weather conditions, often result in cracks, leading to prolonged structural and safety issues if not addressed promptly.
Can You Fix Cracked Concrete?
Absolutely, cracked concrete can be mended. It’s essential to address cracked concrete as soon as you spot an issue, as significant damage narrows down repair options.
While you might be tempted to try brief fixes like sealing the cracks or go for traditional repair methods like mudjacking, these won’t address the root causes. The damage escalates, and repairs turn more intricate and pricier.
Choosing a holistic solution to address the root issues effectively is crucial. At Mount Valley, we provide all-inclusive services and solutions beyond mere surface-level repairs, ensuring enduring results and preventing future issues.
We employ state-of-the-art polyurethane injection technology named PolyRenewal™ to elevate cracking and sinking exterior concrete surfaces. For homes with foundation concerns, our professionals might suggest other solutions like foundation piers or slab piers explicitly designed to stabilize and potentially lift sinking slab foundations.
Each home is unique, necessitating tailored repairs for its specific needs. Our team will assess your property and determine the perfect long-term solutions to rectify your home’s concrete and foundation issues permanently.
