Foundation Repair- Grand-Barachois, NB
Challenge
A homeowner in Grand-Barachois, NB, faced a troubling issue with their basement: noticeable cracks in the foundation walls accompanied by significant seepage. Aware of the potential structural implications, they reached out to us for a professional assessment and resolution.
Following their call to our Customer Care Specialist, we arranged a visit from one of our System Design Specialists. Upon thorough inspection, it became evident that the cracks could pose a significant risk to the structural integrity of the building, potentially leading to more extensive issues like settlement or wall buckling.
Solution
Understanding the severity and urgency of the problem, our specialist recommended the installation of the FlexiSpan® wall crack repair system. Our professional team arrived as scheduled, bringing expertise and a commitment to fix the issue effectively. The process began with the application of a flexible sealant along the entire length of the crack, ensuring a comprehensive start to the solution. The team then installed a flexible and porous foam strip over the crack. Finally, we adhered an impermeable membrane, designed to guide any future water seepage invisibly into the basement’s perimeter drainage system. This multi-layer treatment guards against hydrostatic pressure and minor wall movements, ensuring a solution that stands robust over time.
Thanks to our intervention with the strategically applied FlexiSpan® system, the homeowner in Grand-Barachois now benefits from a dry, stable, and secure living environment. Our long-lasting solution provided not only the needed structural safety but also the peace of mind that their home is protected against future water infiltration.
