Don’t Ignore Brick or Masonry Cracks—They Could Signal Foundation Issues
Cracks in your brickwork or masonry can be more than just a cosmetic concern—they may point to underlying foundation settlement or structural damage. That’s why it’s important to inspect the brick and mortar of your home or commercial building regularly. If you notice changes, such as widening cracks or deteriorating mortar, it’s time to contact a foundation repair professional.
Idaho Concrete Lifting is a trusted foundation expert and will assess the issue and recommend the right solution.
How Underpinning Helps with Brick and Masonry Cracks
If your foundation is settling, steel piers (push piers) or helical piers can be installed beneath the footing to permanently stabilize the structure. These systems are designed to:
- Prevent further settlement or cracking
- Restore structural integrity
- Preserve and even increase the value of your property
After stabilizing the foundation, visible cracks in the brick or masonry can be repaired using cement grout or epoxy resin, depending on the location and severity of the damage.
Don’t Delay—Small Cracks Can Lead to Big Problems
While some brick or mortar cracks are superficial, others signal deeper foundation concerns. It’s always best to have a professional inspection to know for sure. Acting early can save you money, protect your investment, and ensure your safety.
All foundation repairs performed through Idaho Concrete Lifting are completed using industry-leading products guaranteeing a stable and lasting solution.
