Crack Repair- Fredericton, NB
Challenge
Recently, we completed a foundation repair for a homeowner in Fredericton, New Brunswick, who faced an ongoing issue with water seeping into their basement. The homeowner reached out to Ridgeback Basement Systems with a growing concern about dampness and the potential for increased damage, compounded by cracks appearing in the basement walls. Our Customer Care Specialist efficiently scheduled an inspection to identify the underlying issue.
Upon arrival, our System Design Specialist meticulously examined the basement’s existing repairs, including previous patchwork that had unfortunately failed to halt seepage. The diagnosis was clear: the leaking water needed a proven solution beyond traditional sealants, which often offer limited protection against foundation cracks.
Solution
Our team proposed the installation of our FlexiSpan® wall crack repair system. This industry-leading, three-part repair process begins with a comprehensive sealing of the crack using a durable, flexible sealant to manage crack movement. We then applied a strip of porous foam filled into the sealed gap, which is covered by an impermeable membrane adhered to the wall. This method ensures any future leakage is expertly redirected to the basement’s existing drainage system, meaning peace of mind for the homeowner.
Our experienced production team executed the installation promptly. Thanks to this targeted approach, the initial gradual seepage issue was effectively resolved, and the homeowner could confidently enjoy a reliably dry basement space. At Ridgeback Basement Systems, each project we undertake solidifies our commitment to delivering remarkable customer experiences with lasting, effective solutions. This recent success is a testament to our dedication to accessible and expert foundation repair services in the Fredericton area.
