During our inspections we often see cracks in basement floors. Are these cracks a structural problem? No, we don’t consider typical cracks in basement floors to be structural issues. The foundation around the perimeter of the floor is much more important because it supports the structure.
Cracks in basement floors are typically more of a nuisance because they can enable water seepage (rarely). They can be sealed if necessary. If there is water staining, a mason can seal it. If there’s no staining don’t worry about it.
Very often we get these questions from buyers, so now you know the answer!
