Crack repair
Click on the image to enlarge.
Cracks in foundation walls usually occur because of shrinking, swelling or soil settling. Cracks typically appear at the weakest points in the foundation walls such as windows, beam pockets and changes in wall elevations. Abalon recommends crack repair from the exterior only using compressible materials. Crack repair from the inside, leaves a space on the exterior side of the foundation wall allowing water to continue collecting. As the water freezes, it opens the cracks again.
We hand excavate to the foundation footing, place soil on plywood and shore if necessary.
Typical excavation is 2ft out and 5ft wide. The depth depends on the footing elevation.
Apply foundation damp proofing to repair area to allow grout to dry completely.
If weeping tile exists, we install foundation wrap. To drain window wells, we use the Sonotube.
