The Basics You Need to Know About Foundation Cracks
Why We Don’t Offer Crack Injections for Basement Repairs
At Ottawa Foundation Repair Specialists, we’re committed to providing long term, reliable solutions, not temporary band-aids. That’s why we do not offer crack injection services for basement crack repair.
While crack injections using epoxy or polyurethane resins may seem like a convenient fix for leaking basement walls, they often fail to provide lasting results. Here's why
The Problem with Crack Injections
-
Injections seal from the inside only, leaving the real problem (exterior water pressure) unresolved.
-
Over time, cracks can reopen due to soil movement, hydrostatic pressure, frost/heaving or ongoing settling.
-
The repair depends on ideal surface conditions, which are often not present in active leaks or damp foundations
-
Most importantly, crack injections are unreliable and cannot be guaranteed.
-
Crack injections often don't come with long term warranties.
These limitations can result in recurring leaks, hidden water damage, mold and mildew, as well as additional costs down the line, which is why we don’t offer a service that we can’t stand behind.
