Few things are as annoying as getting water in your basement due to a leaking crack in your foundation; fortunately, foundation cracks can be repaired fairly quickly and economically, especially if you have a poured concrete foundation. We have been doing Newmarket Aurora Richmond Hill foundation crack repair since 2002.
A foundation crack can leak quite a bit if there is alot of water pressure against your foundation
We repair foundation cracks from either the inside or the outside depending on accessibility, weather conditions and your foundation type (poured concrete or block). The vast majority of foundation cracks in poured concrete foundations are fixed from inside the home by filling or sealing the crack with injected resins such as polyurethane, at very low cost. In contrast, the repair of leaking cracks in concrete block foundations is always done from the outside.
Repairing foundation cracks on the outside of the home requires excavation of the foundation wall all the way down to the footing followed by crack repair with hydraulic cement and then applying a waterproof coating on the foundation, such as AquaBloc. Once the coating has been applied, foundation wrap is installed over the waterproofed area to ensure excellent drainage to your weeping tile.
The crack is coated with foundation coating before foundation wrap is installed
Interior crack repairs involve filling the crack with a material that expands and solidifies, thereby eliminating the crack and the cause of your basement leak! Excavation is therefore unnecessary as the material (polyurethane) travels through the foundation wall to the outside, giving you full protection.
Injected polyurethane resin foams up and travels within the foundation crack to seal all cavities.
These repairs are absolutely reliable and for this reason we provide a 25 year written transferable warranty on foundation crack repairs.
