Different types of cracks. One solid solution.

Foundation Wall Repair

Horizontal cracks are commonly found in brick foundations and concrete blocks. They are typically caused by shrinkage either from extremely cold weather, or due to excess pressure forced on the foundation by surrounding wet soil.

A foundation crack that is bulging can be caused for a number of reasons. Commonly they are caused by a wall sliding out of its footing, or from stress being placed on it by a supporting wall. The depth of bulging cracks reaches all the way through the foundation and must be addressed immediately. These cracks can severely affect the structural integrity of your home.

Most foundation issues are caused by damp soil or poor drainage. Water can work its way through these cracks and results in a wet basement. The source or cause of the foundation fracture is just as crucial as the repair procedure.

Wall Crack Repair in Kitchener

The unfortunate thing about a foundation wall crack is that it is a common problem in Kitchener and other parts of Ontario. Basement cracks occurs as a result of the ground's natural shifting. The soil shifts when it is weakened by high moisture content from heavy rains or floods.

However, in most instances here in Kitchener, a minor foundation wall fracture does not pose a serious threat. It only becomes an issue when moisture starts entering into the basement through the foundation crack. This also applies to the footer in a house with a crawlspace. There are solutions developed specifically to resolve cracks in foundation walls and basement floors. Our team of waterproofing contractors know all these solutions and have years of experience using them.
