Foundation wall cracks are offset

Offset, or uneven cracks in your foundation walls are a common sign that there could be an underlying structural problem with your foundation. Offset cracks are generally proof that your walls have succumbed to movement and you should have your foundation inspected by a trained consultant. There are several reasons that can cause these kinds of cracks, and based upon the type of movement and other foundation symptoms, a trained consultant can recommend a permanent solution that is appropriate for your home.

If your walls have begun to bow or lean inward, Perma-Seal offers several products that will provide a permanent solution to your home's specific needs.
