Have you found any leaks or cracks in the foundation?
Many home and business owners have experienced or will experience foundation cracks and basement water infiltration at least once in their lives.
In Quebec, concrete cracks are very common and can attack any concrete foundation and/or structure, whether residential or commercial, mainly during the first 5 years following construction.
Although the majority of interior foundation cracks are not structurally dangerous, water can seep in, cause damage and expand.
This means repairing cracks on exterior and interior walls alike!
There are many different types of foundation cracks, all with their own distinctive causes and consequences (clay and/or poorly drained soil, concrete quality, climate variations, etc.).
The advantages of repairing foundation cracks from the inside
Whether it’s due to difficult access, winter work, or simply if your basement walls are already damaged and the foundation crack is visible, in general, crack repair by injection (resin, concrete, epoxy or other) is often the most preferred repair technique.
Don’t worry: repairing cracks from the inside is just as effective as repairing them from the outside, when the right technique and products are used!
- Prevents water or soil from touching the foundation
- Crack repair from the inside is just as effective as repair from the outside, when the technique and products used are right.
- Drains water to the foot of the foundation

Methods Used to Repair Interior Foundation Cracks
Note that the injection service is just as effective for pipe/conduit towers that allow water infiltration (e.g.: water inlet pipe, sewer or pluvial outlet pipe, etc.).
Remember, no matter what technique you use to repair foundation cracks, only a properly installed and functioning foundation drain (French drain) will ensure effective water drainage at the bottom of your foundation walls.
Polyurethane injection
Polyurethane is a flexible, expansive material, capable of efficiently filling irregular cracks and adapting to foundation movements. Interior foundation cracks are thus sealed and stabilized.
Epoxy injection
When epoxy, a rigid resin, is injected into the cracks, it increases the structural strength and creates a strong bond with the concrete that increases the strength of the concrete itself.
When should you be concerned about cracks in your foundation?
- A crack becomes a concern for the structure of your home, especially when it goes through the wall.
- A through crack like this indicates that the problem is not just on the surface, but is affecting the very structure of your home. Generally speaking, a through crack can be detected because it is visible both inside and outside the house.
- It is essential to call in a professional for any type of crack to ensure a safe assessment.
- If you notice a crack more than 2 mm wide along the length of your house, it’s imperative to have it examined without delay.
