Water pouring down the foundation wall from the top due to improper landscaping – highlighting the need for thorough investigation of the source of basement leaks
Probably the most common leaks in a basement are due to leaking foundation cracks. The good news is that most foundation crack leaks can be repaired quickly, effectively, and at a relatively low cost. The following picture is how leaking cracks in poured concrete foundations generally appear.
Foundation Crack Repair in Bradford
Even very thin hairline cracks can let in a surprising amount of water, particularly when considerable water (hydrostatic) pressure builds up in the clay soil around your foundation; when the winter snows melt and heavy rains follow. Left untreated, foundation cracks can lead to major water leaks in your basement which could result in costly damage and loss of irreplaceable possessions. Our specialists repair cracks from either the interior or the exterior of your home, depending on your foundation type and site conditions. The crack repair options vary with the type of foundation that you have:
- Poured concrete foundations – usually repaired from the inside using resin injection (polyurethane and epoxy). Exterior crack waterproofing is also an option.
- Block foundations – repaired on the outside by excavating and waterproofing the foundation wall at the crack location.
Interior Crack Repairs (Poured Concrete Foundations)
For poured concrete foundations, high pressure interior crack injection is the most common solution used. We inject a polyurethane resin into the crack, which expands and seals every cavity. The material bonds tightly to the concrete, creating a permanent barrier against water. Because it travels all the way through the wall to the exterior, there’s no need to excavate and disrupt your landscaping. Furthermore, there is little dust and odour, and a typical polyurethane crack injection takes about 2.5 hours.
Exterior Crack Repairs (Concrete Block Foundations)
Homes in Bradford with block foundations usually benefit most from exterior repairs. This process involves carefully excavating the foundation wall down to the footing, filling the crack(s) with hydraulic cement, applying an elastomeric waterproof coating, and covering it with a protective membrane (foundation wrap). This ensures water cannot penetrate your foundation and drains away properly via your weeping tile.
