Foundation crack repair from the inside in Châteauguay
A crack in the foundation of your home or building is the greatest danger that can put it at risk. What causes cracks? It can be normal aging, repeated freezing and thawing, soil subsidence, tree roots, underground water flow, or excessive drying of concrete.
When a crack appears on the foundations of your building, it can cause significant damage. These cracks can lead to water infiltration and even weaken the foundation. That's why it's crucial to act as soon as they appear. We perform internal repairs and carry out different types of injections based on your specific needs. These injections have many applications and allow for the repair of floor cracks, concrete cracks, as well as horizontal and vertical cracks.
If you have a problem with cracks in the walls, don't hesitate to call the experts at Basement Comfort. We offer crack repair services for homes and commercial buildings in the Montreal, North Montreal, Brossard, Laval, Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, and LaSalle areas.
Repairing foundation cracks from the inside is a way to correct foundation problems without performing heavy work outside the house. It is a popular method for concrete and stone foundations, which involves injecting a mixture of epoxy resin or polyurethane inside the crack to fill it and strengthen the structure.
Here are the general steps to perform a foundation crack repair from the inside:
- Crack assessment: It is important to determine the cause of the crack and check if it is growing.
- Cleaning the crack: The crack must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that the repair adheres properly.
- What to do to remedy it: We offer a very effective solution. We inject liquid resin under high pressure directly into the crack and fill the space with a waterproof and impermeable material.
- Injection of the repair mixture: The mixture is injected into the crack using a special injection pump.
- This protection becomes permanent and is very effective. We only need to drill a few entry points on each side of the crack along its entire length to seal the breach.
Advantages of urethane
- Expands to completely fill the crack, starting from the bottom and going up, from the inside to the outside.
- Hydrophobic: Urethane is hydrophobic and water-resistant, making it an ideal material for applications requiring increased water resistance.
- Stretching and compression. Urethane foam can expand and compress. As the foundation undergoes microscopic movements, the repair remains intact and continues to prevent water from entering.
- Fast: Polyurethane injections begin to expand a few minutes after injection.
- Transferable written warranty.
Repairing foundation cracks: from the inside or outside?
It is possible to repair foundation cracks from the inside or outside of the house, depending on the situation. Both methods are effective. Repairing a crack from the outside involves using a mini-excavator to dig and clear the foundation to reach the problematic area. Then, a waterproof membrane flexible enough to withstand movements is applied. If we have access to the foundation wall from the inside, repairing the crack is easier. In all cases, we ensure that repairs are carried out in the least invasive way possible.
For any type of crack or water infiltration, contact Basement Comfort, the specialist in crack repair with or without excavation. We offer a simple, optimal, and cost-effective solution for all your projects, with excellent value for money.
