Client’s Concern
The homeowner in West Babylon, NY, contacted Zavza Seal LLC after noticing a visible structural crack in their garage wall, approximately 5 linear feet in length. The crack was affecting the structural integrity of the garage and causing concerns about potential water intrusion. Given the risk of further damage, the client sought a professional, long-lasting solution to repair the crack and prevent any future issues.
Zavza Seal LLC’s Inspection and Diagnosis
Upon initial inspection, our team at Zavza Seal LLC identified the structural crack as a result of natural wear and tear, combined with moisture exposure. The crack had led to efflorescence buildup, a white residue often caused by water moving through the concrete, and there were traces of mold and dirt, further compromising the area.
To address the problem, we recommended a comprehensive repair solution using Basecrete waterproofing cement, which offers superior protection and durability. This process would ensure the long-term stability of the garage structure while preventing future water infiltration.
Solution: Step-by-Step Repair Process
- Surface Preparation
The first step was to chase and grind the cracked area with a diamond blade. This removed any efflorescence, dirt, and mold, fully exposing the original cement. Preparing the surface is crucial for ensuring proper adhesion of the waterproofing layers. - Application of Basecrete Waterproofing Cement
After cleaning the crack, we applied the first layer of Basecrete waterproofing cement. Basecrete is a highly durable, flexible waterproofing material ideal for addressing structural cracks in walls, particularly in areas exposed to moisture. - Reinforced Fiberglass Mesh Installation
To strengthen the repair and provide added reinforcement, we installed a 4.5oz fiberglass mesh over the first layer of Basecrete cement. This mesh not only adds structural integrity but also enhances the overall durability of the repaired area. - Final Layer of Basecrete Waterproofing Cement
After installing the fiberglass mesh, we applied a second layer of Basecrete waterproofing cement to complete the repair. This additional layer ensured the crack was fully sealed and protected against moisture infiltration, thus preventing future damage.
