Causes Of Vertical And Horizontal Foundation Cracks

Cracks that move vertically are caused by sinking, settling, or sagging foundation

problems. Settling issues arise when the soil under your house shifts or moves. Usually only one part of your home will sag into the changed soil, so cracks in your foundation occur.

Horizontal crack movement occurs when walls bow, lean, or get pushed-in by the surrounding soil. When the soil outside expands, walls tend to move inward.
