Wall Cracks

Foundation wall cracks are the most common source of seepage in residential basements today. Most foundation cracks are a result of structure “settling”. Settling is a normal occurrence for new homes and can continue for 2 to 3 years after the home is built. In poured concrete walls, these cracks can be repaired with Epoxy/Urethane Pressure Injection. In CMU or block walls, these cracks pose a few more challenges but can still be repaired.

In general, most cracks run from the top of the foundation wall to the bottom. They also, in most instances, continue through the wall, making wall cracks susceptible to leakage. Our pressure injection process is performed from the inside of the basement. No exterior excavation is necessary. If your basement is finished and it's not possible to see the cracks, a close examination of the exterior walls can typically reveal these crack locations. Some minor removal of finished wall products such as drywall or paneling may be necessary to expose the crack for repair.
