As long as concrete has been used in foundation walls, the question regarding crack repair has been hotly debated. One side of the issue suggests that cracks shouldn't be repaired unless they are moving. However, concrete moves as the temperature changes. Therefore, all cracks move every day. Side two advocates repaired cracks only when they are leaking. However, some cracks are wide enough to allow the infiltration of dirt and critters but do not leak. It does seem appropriate that these cracks be repaired before they being to leak and/or become a structural problem. The third side of the repair or not to repair issue takes the position that all cracks are defects in the wall and must be repaired to ensure that the foundation wall performs as designed.
