– Most cracks are caused by uneven settling of the foundation. All foundations settle, but not all portions settle uniformly, which causes cracks to develop. Other factors, including improper concrete mix, premature backfilling, uneven moisture around the foundation, and plumbing leaks, can all contribute to the appearance and severity of cracks.
