Cracks in cement are usually repairable, though the severity of the damage and the stability of the foundation play a role in how that process works. Cement forms from a chemical reaction that occurs when the dry ingredients become wet. As the water in the mix evaporates, the cement forms a solid block.
Basement Waterproofing Staten Island uses several approaches to repair foundation cracks. For smaller cracks, a sealant that works with the chemistry of the cement not only closes the gap but bonds to the cement so that it becomes waterproof. Long after the building of a home, it continues to settle. For that reason, we use products that also flex as the house moves. This means that the crack remains sealed.
For larger cracks or for foundations that are losing their stability, we offer full repair. As a general contractor, we have the licenses, insurance, and expertise to repair faulty foundations. That process may involve stabilizing the structure, removing the sagging part of the foundation, and replacing it with a new section that joins seamlessly with the original cement to provide a new and secure footing for the building.
If your basement is dry and you want to avoid leaking, then preventative care is a plus. This process may involve sealing minor cracks in the foundation or basement floor, evaluating the French drains for efficiency and functionality, and inspecting and repairing your sump pump system.
