Crack, Seam and Void Repair

Do you have visible cracks in your foundation? Are you finding water or dampness but aren't sure why? Within a few months or years of construction, many basements begin to crack and develop dampness or seepage from outside. If you can see dampness or smell musty odors, you may have a problem. Protect your foundation from further damage by repairing cracks as soon as possible. Basement Solutions of New England, Inc. can assess your home for cracks and fix them before they cause serious damage to your home, leaving you at ease about the future of your foundation. 

New England homeowners face some of the fiercest weather conditions in the country and around here, foundation cracks are a fact of life. If you have found water, dampness, seepage or musty odors in your basement, you may have cracks you are not aware of. Cracks are caused by many factors including settling, shrinkage, water pressure and ground swelling. Cracks can be more than an annoyance, but once repaired your foundation will be even stronger than it was before.

Basement Solutions of New England, Inc.will repair your foundation crack(s) in most cases using a low pressure injection using either epoxy or polyurethane resin.  While there are numerous ways to temporarily patch cracks, to get a permanent repair you must do two things: stop moisture penetration from the outside and eliminate or accommodate any wall movement. Low pressure injections are done from inside the basement. The procedure will fill the crack from front to back and bottom to top thus completely sealing the crack. In addition, when using urethane foam, you will fill any void behind the crack.

Epoxy injection stops water and provides structural strength. Similarly to epoxy glue, it fills the crack and works like a glue for the concrete of your foundation walls. The bond and strength the epoxy injection creates with concrete exceeds the strength of the concrete itself! The strong bond of epoxy generally prevents further elongation and yawning of structural cracks.

Basement Solutions of New England, Inc also offers injections to stop leaking Tie Holes, Pipe Penetrations and Bulkheads.
