What Causes Cracking Basement Walls?

There are various factors that can cause basement walls to crack. Soil settlement below your foundation can cause cracks, as can tree roots. But, one of the most common causes of cracking basement walls is soil expansion. When the soil around your house absorbs the water from a rainstorm, it has to expand outward to account for the extra volume. This causes it to press against the exterior walls of your basement. In some cases, the expansion may be so great that it immediately causes the walls to bow in and crack. More often that not, however, the force won’t be so strong at first, but repeated expansion and contraction will weaken your basement walls over time and cause them to start cracking.
