Foundation crack repair : stop water seepage with ABD Waterproofing

If your foundation is cracked and showing signs of leaking, we can repair it to stop water seepage from entering your basement.

Foundation cracks can be an issue for homeowners. They can cause water damage by allowing moisture and water to seep into the basement, causing costly repairs and homeowner inconvenience. ABD Waterproofing offers comprehensive foundation crack repair services to ensure your home's basement stays dry.  

Types of foundation cracks

There are three different types of foundation cracks, each with their own causes and repair methods. Some common types of foundation cracks include:

What is a vertical crack? 

These cracks typically run straight up and down and are caused by settling or shifting of the foundation. Vertical cracks are common and if leaking, can be repaired with a basic crack injection of a urethane or epoxy-based resin. 

What is a horizontal crack? 

These cracks are often caused by an uneven pressure load from soil and water surrounding the foundation. They are more serious than vertical cracks and warrant prompt evaluation, whether they are leaking or not. 

What is a diagonal crack? 

Like horizontal cracks, diagonal cracks warrant prompt attention. 

Note: Diagonal and horizontal cracks can cause shearing and bowing. Cracks like these should be carefully monitored over time and stabilized if movement is noted. 

Our Foundation Crack Repair Process can include the addition of carbon fiber strips and crack stitching to stabilize and retard future crack and wall movement, particularly for diagonal and horizontal cracking. 

Crack repairs typically start at $450 for a single basic crack. Multiple cracks at a single location do have some economy of scale. Carbon fiber stabilization is quoted as a standalone and additional service. There is an additional charge for cracks that have had a previous repair work completed. 

Warranty: All our foundation crack repair services come with a lifetime and transferable warranty, providing you with long-term peace of mind.
