Problem:
The homeowner discovered vertical structural cracks along a section of their foundation wall. These cracks were allowing water to penetrate the basement during heavy rains, creating the risk of further structural damage and mold growth. The foundation required immediate repair to restore structural integrity and prevent additional water intrusion.
Solution:
Work Area A: Vertical Structural Cracks (Approx. 8 Linear Feet)
We began by chasing and grinding the affected area with a diamond blade to remove efflorescence, dirt, and mold. This process exposed the original cement surface, ensuring proper bonding of repair materials. We drilled the necessary injection points and injected urethane and epoxy formulations to seal deep voids and prevent water infiltration.
At the joint of the foundation wall and concrete slab, we applied a concrete adhesive for additional reinforcement. We then applied the first layer of Basecrete waterproofing cement, embedded a 4.5 oz Basecrete fiberglass mesh for structural strength, and added a second layer of Basecrete to complete the waterproofing system.
Work Area B: Foundation Reinforcement
To ensure long-term stability, we inspected the surrounding foundation areas for additional weaknesses. Any small cracks or defects were sealed using the same injection and waterproofing process to maintain a uniform structural barrier.
