Five Foot Crack Repair

Challenge

A large crack in the foundation wall was letting water seep into the basement.

Solution

We installed a FlexiSpan System. First we seal the crack with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer. This gets deep in the cracks to form a durable, flexible seal. The polymer seal should never fail. If it ever does, 95% of the water should still be stopped from leaking in. To ensure a proper repair, we install a secondary layer of drainage on the basement wall -- one that will direct water to your basement drainage system or dry well. To keep your foundation walls looking great, we overlay your sealed wall crack with a polyurethane sealant. After the wall crack has been repaired, the concrete floor is restored flush, with no gaps or openings. The end result of the FlexiSpan® installation is a professional-looking, top-performing basement wall crack repair that includes a written warranty. Our solutions provide lasting results that are compatible with your perimeter drainage system and will not crumble, flake off your walls, or fail due to the natural expansion and shrinking of the concrete.
