Signs You Need Foundation Crack Repair
Foundation problems are a serious problem and while foundation cracks are the most obvious sign of an issue, there are other signs worth paying attention to.
Exterior and Interior Wall Cracks
External and internal wall cracks don’t always signify a significant issue but it is important to take a closer look to assess the situation. Horizontal cracks, or those in a zigzag pattern may be a sign of a compromised foundation.
Visible Mould or Mildew
Again, when moisture seeps into the walls, it can create the perfect environment for the growth of mould and mildew.
Sticking Windows and Doors
Windows and doors that are tough to open and close could indicate a shift in the frame of your house caused by damage to the foundation.
Seeping or Pooling Water
Cracks in the foundation can lead to water and moisture seeping into the walls and appearing on your floors.
Musty Odours
Just because you cannot see the mould and mildew does not mean it isn’t there. If you notice mouldy or musty odours, it is worth checking your foundation for damage.
Uneven or Cracked Floors
Floors that are sloping or sagging in certain areas, or if there are visible cracks, it could be a sign that the foundation is shifting or settling unevenly.
Cracked or Leaning Chimney
Cracked, loose or missing parging can be a sign of foundation issues.
If you notice any of these issues, timely foundation crack repair can make all the difference. The longer you let it sit, the more the trouble can compound.
Addressing the foundation cracks can help you avoid even more costly repairs and ensure your home is safe and comfortable for years to come.
Our Foundation Crack Repair Process
The exact details of our basement foundation crack repair will depend on the condition of the foundation and the area that needs to be addressed.
1. Initial Assessment
We begin by visiting your home, hearing your concerns, and investigating the types of cracks in your foundation, their severity, and the underlying causes of the cracks.
2. Customized Repair Plan
Once we have assessed the situation, we will develop a customized repair plan tailored to your home and the specific needs of your foundation.
3. Repair Techniques
The repair techniques we employ will depend on the size of the project. Typically, we will excavate to the base of the footing at the exterior and fill in the crack from top to bottom where the foundation wall meets the footing. After the crack has been repaired and cured, we apply a foundation sealant and install an air gap water barrier membrane to allow for drainage and relieve the hydrostatic pressure. We then backfill partially with clean gravel and cover with a geotextile before backfilling with existing fill.
4. Follow-Up
We are available to support you after the job is completed. We offer a Lifetime Transferable Warranty in writing with no fine print so if any issues do arise, you know you can count on us to come out and make it better.
