Basement Waterproofing Foundation & Crack Repair
Foundations can suffer from wear and damage over time, especially if made from fieldstone, poured concrete, or concrete block. Problems, like stair-step cracks, leaking cracks, or bowing and crumbling walls, can arise due to shifting soil, moisture infiltration, and structural pressure. These issues, if left untreated, may compromise the integrity of your home, leading to more severe structural damage, water leaks, and even pest infestations.
Signs of Foundation Failure
There are several signs that may indicate your foundation needs repair. Cracks in walls or floors are one of the most common indicators of foundation issues. These cracks may take on a stair-step pattern, appear as vertical lines, or even have small leaks around them, suggesting that the foundation is shifting or settling unevenly. Bowing or bulging walls are another warning sign, often caused by soil or water pressure pressing against the foundation, leading the walls to bend inward. Water seepage is also a critical issue – if you notice any dampness or moisture around cracks, it means that the foundation may be becoming porous, allowing water to penetrate and potentially lead to mold growth. Finally, uneven floors on the basement or ground level can signal a shifting foundation and may need immediate attention to prevent further structural movement.
Our Solutions for Foundation Repair
At Basement Solutions, we have extensive experience and specialized techniques to address these foundation issues effectively. Our skilled masons are prepared to handle repairs with precision, ensuring a durable solution that lasts. For visible cracks, we perform detailed pointing and crack sealing, using high-quality materials designed to block moisture and strengthen the wall. When it comes to bowing walls, we use a combination of structural reinforcements, such as anchoring systems, steel beams, and custom bracing, to stabilize the wall and counteract the pressure from soil or water. This careful stabilization not only corrects current issues but helps prevent future damage. To further protect your foundation, we provide waterproofing and drainage solutions, which are essential for managing water flow around the foundation and reducing the risk of future leaks. If your walls are severely damaged or crumbling, our team offers comprehensive rebuilding and reinforcement services.
