There are a lot of reasons you have cracks in your basement walls or floors, including:
There are many reasons why your basement floors and walls may crack. Cracks in your basement floor can cause panic, but luckily, most cracks in concrete basement floors are normal and do not require repair. On the other hand, certain cracks in basement floors can allow water, moisture, and dangerous soil gasses to leak into your basement. Small, hairline cracks and spalling or flaking cracks do not require repair. However, uneven floors and cracks with heaving require repair.
For the most part, basement wall cracks are no big deal. But when cracks in your basement walls are wider than 1/8 inch, horizontal, stair-step, or growing larger, it's time to call a professional. Another cause for concern is if you notice water or musty odors seeping through the cracks.
The cost to fix basement wall cracks depends on your geographical location, the size of the crack, the type of crack, and whether the repair involves structural work.
According to Homeguide, basement wall crack repair costs anywhere from $250 to $800+ per crack for non-structural, minor repairs. For bigger, horizontal cracks, and cracks that are due to a structural issue, costs can range from $1,000 to $5,000+ per crack.
Coverage is typically based on the cause of your basement wall crack, which means that homeowners can be responsible for the cost of repairs.
It is important to view your own policy or contact your insurance company to determine whether basement wall crack repairs will be covered.
