Basement Wall Crack Solutions: Seal, Repair, Protect

In Michigan, homeowners often face the challenge of foundation cracks due to the region's expansive soils among other factors. Understanding and addressing these issues promptly can prevent more significant structural damage over time. At West Michigan Waterproofing, we specialize in providing innovative and effective solutions for sealing and repairing foundation cracks, ensuring the safety and integrity of your home.

Understanding Foundation Cracks & Why Cracks Happen

Foundation cracks, especially vertical cracks, are common but serious concerns that can compromise a home’s structural integrity. These cracks may occur due to a variety of reasons including expansive soils that swell due to moisture, rusting metal form ties, or increased loads from changes such as basement window installations or property extensions. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial to choosing the right repair strategy.

Traditional Repair Methods

Traditionally, foundation cracks have been addressed using high-pressure epoxy injection techniques. While effective in sealing cracks, epoxy can sometimes lack flexibility, making it susceptible to failing over time due to ongoing soil movements and further structural shifts.

A New Approach to Sealing Basement Wall Cracks

We at West Michigan Waterproofing have developed a new approach using a rubber-based industrial coating designed to remain flexible and adjust to the natural movements of your home's foundation. Our process includes surface grinding to prepare the crack, followed by the application of a prime penetrating coat and three additional protective layers to ensure a durable seal.
