How to Prevent Foundation Cracks in Denver

Protect Your Home’s Foundation with 303 Construction

Foundation cracks can lead to serious structural issues if left untreated. At 303 Construction, we help homeowners in Denver prevent foundation damage with proactive solutions.

1. Control Moisture Around Your Foundation

Denver’s expansive clay soils shrink when dry and expand when wet, causing foundation movement. To prevent this:

  • Install proper drainage to direct water away from the foundation.
  • Use a soaker hose to maintain consistent soil moisture.
  • Ensure gutters and downspouts extend at least 6 feet from the home.

2. Schedule Regular Inspections

Catching foundation issues early can save thousands in repairs. 303 Construction offers foundation inspections, checking for cracks, settling, and water damage.

3. Seal Small Cracks Immediately

If you notice hairline cracks, seal them with epoxy or polyurethane injections to prevent water infiltration and further damage.

4. Proper Landscaping & Grading

  • Avoid planting trees too close to the foundation—roots absorb soil moisture, causing shifting.
  • Ensure the soil slopes away from the home to prevent water pooling.

5. Reinforce Your Foundation

For homes in high-risk areas, 303 Construction installs foundation piers and reinforcement techniques to prevent major shifting.
