What is a Foundation Wall?

If you own a home, there are many things that you must learn about to ensure it remains in good condition. From the inside of your home to the outside, from the landscaping to the building materials used, becoming aware of the components that make up your home will ensure that you are able to notice a change early and avoid catastrophic events.

One of the important aspects that you must become acquainted with in your home is the foundation wall. A foundation wall is the masonry or concrete walls below the ground level. These walls serve as the main support for a structure of your home. This means that they are extremely important to the overall structure of your home. Foundation walls also form the envelope of a usable basement.

Why are Foundation Walls Important?

Foundation walls not only serve as the base of your home, but they also can lead to leaks in your basement. When the weather changes and your home settles the foundation can move which can result in cracks. It is important to be aware of the state of your interior foundation wall so that you can notice any changes that occur. If you notice any leaks or cracks in your foundation wall, don’t wait.
