A homeowner in Amherst, NS, faced a persistent issue with water seeping into Unit 3 of their home during heavy rains, discovered through a crack in the foundation wall beneath the back door. Concerned about potential water damage and structural integrity, the homeowner contacted Ridgeback Basement Systems for a reliable solution. Upon reaching out, our knowledgeable Customer Care Specialist promptly arranged a home inspection. Subsequently, our System Design Specialist visited the property, meticulously evaluating the problem. The assessment revealed that the crack in the basement wall was indeed the main source of the water intrusion, necessitating a dependable repair to ensure the home's longevity and comfort.
Solution
Our expert production team proposed the FlexiSpan® wall crack repair system—a tested solution built to address both immediate water leakage and prevent future issues. This robust system begins with the application of a flexible sealant across the entire length of the crack. Following this, we placed a strip of flexible and porous foam over the existing fault, ensuring any potential seepage would be skillfully redirected. Lastly, the application of an impermeable membrane secured the system, making the basement wall impervious to water, even in the face of hydrostatic pressure or slight wall movement. The careful and methodical application of the FlexiSpan® system successfully stopped the unwanted seepage, significantly reducing the homeowner's worries about water damage. They were left with a secured, dry basement and peace of mind, assured by the efficacy and durability of Ridgeback Basement Systems' workmanship.
