π Foundation Crack Inspection β Tallahassee, FL
A homeowner recently contacted MBP Engineering & Consulting after noticing cracking in their garage slab, driveway, and foundation stem wall.
Cracks in concrete can be alarming, especially when they appear to run across large portions of a slab. Our engineering team performed a structural observation to determine whether the cracking indicated a serious structural concern.
After a full site inspection, the cracking observed was found to be consistent with typical slab-on-grade movement and localized settlement commonly associated with soil movement and long-term settlement.
βοΈ No significant structural failure observed
βοΈ No structural distress noted in the wood-framed structure above
βοΈ Recommended improvements include drainage management and monitoring of existing cracks
Concrete cracking in garages and driveways is very common in residential construction, but having a licensed engineer evaluate the conditions can provide homeowners and buyers with peace of mind.
If you notice cracks in your foundation, garage slab, or driveway, it may be worth having an engineer take a look.
