Wall Cracks and Leaks

A poured wall crack is generally caused by concrete shrinkage and this shrinkage will continue for three years after the walls are initially poured and sometimes continue even longer. And then, continued pressures such as soil contraction and expansion can cause further cracking and separation. So a long-term solution is needed, and one that is flexible enough to permanently fix the crack even with continued wall movement. AquaGuard Basement Systems has been repairing cracks with various injection methods for many years. In fact, we were pioneers in applying polyurethane injection to residential wall cracks before anyone had heard of such a thing. Injecting sealant materials into wall cracks was a big breakthrough at the time.
