Newmarket Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Crack Repair
Historic downtown is the most famous landmark in Newmarket
A wet basement caused by a leaking foundation crack often causes stress and costly damage for Newmarket homeowners. The good news is that most cracks, in poured concrete foundations, can be sealed quickly, effectively, and at a reasonable cost – usually < $1000 in a matter of a few hours.
Since 2002, AquaGuard Injection & Waterproofing® has been helping Newmarket homeowners keep their basements dry with professional foundation crack repair and waterproofing solutions backed by a long-term warranty.
Foundation cracks are common and often found at the corners of basement windows
Basement Crack Repair in Newmarket
The clay soils of Newmarket hold alot of water and do not drain efficiently; this creates ideal conditions for developing considerable hydrostatic pressure. As a consequence, even very narrow foundation cracks can allow a significant amount of water to enter your basement, especially when there is significant water pressure around the foundation; this happens when snows melt and heavy rains follow – this is typical of the spring thaw. Over time, a minor leak can turn into a major issue if left untreated. Our team seals foundation cracks from either the interior or the exterior, depending on your foundation type and site conditions.
- Poured concrete foundations – typically repaired from the inside using injected resins.
- Concrete block foundations – repaired from the outside by excavating and waterproofing the foundation wall.
Interior Crack Injection (Poured Concrete Foundations)
For poured concrete foundations, high pressure polyurethane crack injection is the most reliable and cost-effective solution for sealing basement cracks. We inject a polyurethane resin into the crack, which expands to fill the voids and bonds tightly to the concrete. This creates a permanent seal that stops water coming through the wall by effectively eliminating the crack. Because the material travels through the wall to the outside, there is no need for excavation or exterior repairs except when working behind a fireplace, shower, electrical panel, bar etc,.
High pressure polyurethane crack injection completely fills foundation cracks to provide a long term basement leak repair
Why homeowners in Newmarket choose crack injection
In many instances homeowners are unaware of the presence of cracks in their foundations and many basement leaks are discovered quite by accident.
When homeowners discover a wet carpet in their basement or a puddle of water, they typically want to get the problem fixed as rapidly and as cheaply as possible. The urgent nature of many basement leak repairs and the unplanned maintenance expense make basement crack injections a popular choice for Newmarket homeowners. Injection crack repairs don’t require underground utilities to be marked and the repairs are completed in just a few hours. This allows for the prompt scheduling of crack sealing appointments and keeps repair costs low, as the cost of crack injection is far less than exterior foundation crack repairs requiring excavation.
Exterior Crack Repairs (Block Foundations)
For homes in Newmarket with block foundations, basement wall cracks are repaired from the exterior. This repair involves excavating the affected wall down to the footing, filling the crack with hydraulic cement, applying an elastomeric rubber waterproof coating, and installing a protective membrane to direct water towards the weeping tile. This ensures long-term protection against water entry through the foundation crack.
The only way to effectively seal a leaking concrete block foundation crack is to excavate and waterproof the crack on the outside
