Signs you may need foundation crack repair
- Vertical or diagonal cracks that leak
- Cracks that are widening
- Horizontal cracks or bowing walls (have these looked at by a qualified pro, possibly a structural engineer)
Small leaking cracks in poured walls are often sealed by injection. Horizontal cracks, bowing or shifting walls can be structural, so get a qualified opinion before choosing a fix.

Local conditions
After the last glacier retreated, glacial Lake Oshkosh covered much of the Fox River lowland, which stretches from Green Bay to Portage, and left behind red, clay-rich silt and clay sediment. That fine-grained soil is relatively impermeable, so water that can't soak in has to go somewhere, and sometimes that's toward a foundation.
