BASEMENT CRACK REPAIR IN EDMONTON | FOUNDATION INJECTION SOLUTIONS
Why Basement Leaks Appear in Spring
After another long Edmonton winter, warmer temperatures cause soil thawing and spring runoff. As the ground shifts, foundation cracks can open and allow water inside. Many Edmonton neighborhoods were built on former swampland, increasing the risk of basement leaks. Even small amounts of water can lead to mold growth and long-term foundation damage.
Basement Crack Repair Options
There are two primary ways to repair basement cracks in Edmonton. Exterior excavation involves digging down to the foundation and patching the crack from outside. This method works but often becomes expensive and disruptive. Decks, landscaping, and utility lines may require removal before repairs begin.
Foundation Crack Injection Explained
Foundation crack injection offers a less invasive solution. At Desco, we perform basement crack repair in Edmonton using polyurethane or epoxy injection systems. These materials fill the crack completely and form a waterproof exterior curtain barrier. The injected material remains flexible, allowing for future foundation movement without reopening leaks.
When Structural Issues Are a Concern
Injection can also help stabilize foundations with larger cracks. If structural concerns exist, we recommend consulting a professional engineer before repairs. Proper evaluation ensures the correct repair method is used safely.
