Recent Project: Leaking Foundation Structural Crack Repair in Katonah, NY

BEFORE

AFTER

Project Overview

A homeowner in Katonah, NY, reached out to We Fix Cracks for help with a serious foundation issue. Their basement was experiencing water leaks due to a significant structural crack in the foundation wall. If left untreated, this crack could have led to further water intrusion, mold growth, and even compromised the structural integrity of the home. Our team promptly assessed the problem and provided a long-lasting solution to restore the foundation’s strength and prevent future water damage.

The Problem: A Leaking Foundation Crack

Upon inspection, we discovered that the foundation wall had developed a large vertical crack that extended from the floor to the ceiling. The homeowner had noticed moisture seeping through the wall, damaging the surrounding insulation and drywall. The water infiltration was particularly concerning because:

  • It was causing damage to the basement’s interior.

  • The moisture created a risk of mold and mildew growth.

  • The crack indicated potential structural movement.

 

Step-by-Step Repair Process

1. Preparing the Work Area

Before starting the repair, we carefully removed the affected drywall, insulation, and framing to expose the full extent of the crack. This allowed us to properly assess the damage and determine the best repair approach.

2. Crack Cleaning and Surface Preparation

To ensure a strong bond for our repair materials, we thoroughly cleaned the crack and surrounding area. This involved:

  • Removing any loose concrete and debris.

  • Drying the surface to prevent moisture interference.

  • Applying a bonding agent to enhance adhesion.

3. Sealing the Crack with Epoxy Injection

For long-term structural stability, we used a high-strength epoxy injection system. This method was ideal for sealing the crack and preventing future water penetration. The process included:

  • Injecting the epoxy into the crack under pressure to fill it completely.

  • Ensuring the epoxy penetrated deep into the foundation to restore its original strength.

  • Allowing the material to cure for maximum durability.

4. Waterproofing Barrier Application

Since the crack had already caused moisture intrusion, we reinforced the repair by installing a waterproofing membrane over the affected area. This extra layer of protection ensures that even if minor movement occurs in the future, the wall remains watertight.

Results: A Secure, Dry Basement

The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome. Their basement was no longer at risk of water damage, and the structural integrity of their foundation was restored. This repair not only eliminated the immediate leak but also provided long-term stability for their home.
