Home Concrete Wall Crack Repair & Waterproofing Services
Are Your Walls Nearing the End of Their Lifespan?
Have You Been Meaning to Get Your External & Internal Cracks Repaired and Waterproofed? Wall cracks can be repaired.
When done well, repairs and waterproofing can maintain the structural integrity of an internal wall or exterior concrete surface for many more years. Home wall crack repairs are one of our most popular services across Sydney. You may wonder if a cracked concrete wall means the entire wall is nearing the end of its lifespan. More often than not, cracks only require repair and resealing. When rendering is done well in the first place, it can last decades without even a fine crack appearing. The same goes for our render repairs and waterproofing.
What to do When You Notice a Crack in a Wall
Make note of where the crack started and observe its movement. A simple way of doing this is to take a photo with a ruler next to the crack. The next thing to do is book a free inspection with one of our experienced renderers and builders. We can assess if a crack is superficial or if it indicates a structural failure in the wall. After the inspection, you will receive an obligation-free quote with repair options.
What Causes Cracks in Walls?
House settling, temperature changes, nearby earthworks, large tree roots, natural wear and tear and poor workmanship. There are a range of reasons cracks appear. The quality of the preparation of the surface and how the render was originally applied can also lead to cracking(*1). To fix the crack and confidently prevent future damage, it is important to identify the cause. Once the cause is known, not only can the crack undergo a repair, but it can be future-proofed.
