Block and Concrete Wall Repair: Restoring Strength and Stability
When your foundation walls crack, bow, or crumble—it’s not just cosmetic. Block and poured concrete walls are often the first line of defense for your home’s structural integrity. When these walls begin to fail, it can affect everything above them. We repair and reinforce block and concrete walls to keep your home level, dry, and protected from the ground up.
What Are Block and Concrete Walls Used For?
These walls do more than just hold back soil—they hold up your home.
⇥ Load-Bearing Walls: Interior concrete block walls often carry structural loads between floors or along exterior perimeters.
⇥ Stem Walls & Crawl Space Walls: In slab and pier-and-beam homes, these provide crucial perimeter support.
Common Issues with Block and Concrete Walls
When pressure, moisture, or time attack your foundation—this is where the cracks show up.
Stair-Step Cracks
Common in block walls; indicates uneven settling or lateral soil pressure.
Vertical or Diagonal Cracks
Often from hydrostatic pressure or expansion from freezing/thawing.
Horizontal Cracks & Bowing
Serious warning signs that soil pressure is overwhelming your wall’s strength.
Efflorescence (White Chalky Residue)
A sign that water is seeping through the wall and evaporating on the surface.
Spalling or Crumbling
Concrete begins to flake or deteriorate, usually due to water infiltration and freeze cycles.
