Repairing Residential Foundation Cracks

Understanding Foundation Cracks

Foundation cracks are a common yet potentially alarming issue faced by homeowners. These fractures in poured foundation walls can emerge due to natural concrete curing processes or settlement over time. Foundation cracks not only vary in size but also have the potential to vertically span the entire basement wall or even run horizontally along the foundation wall, posing significant challenges and risks.

The Implications of Foundation Cracks

One of the most concerning aspects of foundation cracks is their ability to allow water ingress into your foundation walls. This can result in damage to finished work, carpets, and the overall structural integrity of the home. Additionally, in block foundations, “stair-stepping” cracks can compromise the stability and safety of the structure.

Effective Foundation Repair

Addressing foundation cracks demands expertise, precision, and the use of effective repair methods. At King Waterproofing and Foundation Solutions, we distance ourselves from subpar and temporary fixes. Instead, we employ an advanced injection process utilizing Hydrophilic Urethane, a robust solution renowned for its effectiveness.

The Hydrophilic Urethane Advantage

Hydrophilic Urethane is a foam-like composition that is injected into the foundation cracks. It fills the entire fracture and expands in reaction to the presence of water, ensuring a comprehensive and enduring solution to water ingress. This method not only seals the cracks but also fortifies the foundation against future occurrences of cracks and water damage.

For homes with block foundations experiencing “stair-stepping” cracks, our use of Helical anchors is instrumental in restoring and enhancing foundation stability.
