Foundation Crack Repair in Ottawa, ON
Challenge
A homeowner in Nepean, Ottawa contacted our team after noticing water leaking through a crack in their foundation wall. The crack was allowing moisture into the basement and raised concerns about potential long-term damage and worsening structural issues if left untreated.
After inspecting the basement, we identified an active foundation wall crack that required both structural reinforcement and waterproofing. Because foundations naturally experience slight movement over time, a rigid patch alone would not provide a reliable long-term solution.
Solution
Our crew installed concrete crack stitches to structurally stabilize the cracked area and help prevent further movement. Once the wall was reinforced, we applied the FlexiSpan® crack repair system, which permanently seals the crack while still allowing for natural foundation movement. The system safely directs any water entering the crack down into the drainage system, preventing it from leaking into the basement.
The crack was successfully stabilized and sealed, stopping water intrusion and restoring a dry basement environment. The homeowner now has a stronger, protected foundation wall and peace of mind knowing the repair is durable, flexible, and designed for long-term performance.
