Document
Record the crack, surrounding wall, drainage conditions, and leak history.
Targeted leak repair
Foundation crack repair starts with the type of crack
A vertical shrinkage crack, a moving crack, and a horizontal crack do not mean the same thing. We document the location, width, direction, moisture pattern, and visible movement before discussing a repair.
REPRESENTATIVE IMAGE / FOUTargeted leak repairTHE OBJECTIVE
Waterproofing repairs do not replace structural engineering. If a crack shows signs of movement or structural concern, the next step may be an independent engineer.
What a complete assessment covers
Look at the house. Then choose the fix.

Questions before you book
Know what you are buying.
Specific product, warranty, price, and schedule details are confirmed in the written scope.
Can you tell me the right repair before I commit to work?+
That is the purpose of the basement assessment. The visible leak is not always the source, so the assessment looks at drainage, grading, foundation entry points, the sump system, and when the problem occurs before a repair is recommended.
Will I receive a written scope?+
Yes. The proposed repair should identify the area being addressed, the system or materials recommended, what is included, and any warranty terms. Final warranty details must be confirmed by the business owner before publication.
Can I send photos before the assessment?+
Yes. Photos of the leak area, foundation wall, sump pit, discharge line, and the outside grade can help the assessor prepare, but an on-site visit may still be needed to identify the cause.
