Foundation Repair - Cinder Block Wall Cracks in Hartford, KY Basement

Here, you can see that the bricks had been tuck pointed previously. Tuckpointing is a process of removing the old mortar and replacing it with new mortar. In this case, you can see that the replaced mortar joint is much wider and more uneven than the older mortar lines. This indicates that foundation movement had been occurring for a while and an incorrect repair option was applied in the past.
