We properly repair basement cracks

All basements crack at some point, understanding which cracks require repair and which are simply cosmetic will save you money.

There are a few basement crack repair companies in Edmonton who take advantage of your lack of understanding of how basement cracks are formed. These firms try and sell you a ‘solution’ by injecting/filling cracks from the inside of your basement without looking at your home’s drainage system. Sometimes you don’t need to fill the cracks with goop, there may be other ways of handling cosmetic cracks that make more sense and cost less. In the case of cracks that do require repair, simply plugging them up with epoxy and not addressing the root cause of basement crack leakage can be a waste of time and money.

Correctly diagnosing and repairing the underlying cause of the cracks is the most economical and practical way of dealing with basement foundation leakage, not just trying to plug the cracks up.

Many times the underlying drainage issue will cause further cracking, and water more water leakage, resulting in further damage to walls and flooring and even more deterioration of the foundation. When that happens you’re almost right back where you started. Approximately 25% of our foundation crack repair calls are from folks who’ve already tried a band-aid solution and are now faced with more water in their basements. We diagnose the underlying drainage issues, repair what requires fixing, and we guarantee our work for 10 years… we fix your basement cracks correctly the first time.

Our approach to repairing basement cracks is to take on a birds-eye approach to basement cracking, and basement water leakage in general because there are many different factors that can help you avoid costly future repairs.

Prevention is always a better approach then reacting to costly basement cracks. Because we offer a free home inspection service to all homeowners in the Edmonton area who have basement crack concerns, we have the ability to walk you through your home’s unique drainage issues to incorporate a bird’s eye perspective of how your home handles rain, and the drainage of water around your property.

This begins with grading, eavestrough’s, and all that connects with the efficiency of your home’s weeping tile and sump pump systems to move water around and away. All basements experience cracking, it’s whether or not water can find a way inside or around your basement.

Do basement crack repairs require us to remove drywall?

—> No, you don’t need to remove any drywall if the repairs are done properly, on the outside of the basement wall.

Basement Crack Repairs from the exterior do not require any drywall, insulation, or framing to be removed or modified from the inside of your house. This is because exterior crack repairs are competed by temporarily removing and replacing any small section of concrete or decking in the way to properly assess and repair basement cracks from the outside. Once the repairs are finished, we back-fill the area and re-finish any concrete or decking to return the site so that you couldn’t tell any repairs ever took place.

This allows our crack repair technicians to repair basement cracks where they are in direct contact with moisture, and to inspect the entire drainage system around your home… we don’t temporarily plug basement cracks. In our 48 years of experience, this allows our approach to deal with the root cause of basement crack leakage, to stop future cracks from leaking, and instead help the drainage system around your home drain the water away from your basement before it has a chance to leak inside.

Since 1970, the team at Abalon Construction has completed over 40,000 basement crack repair projects throughout Western Canada. We’ve been providing basement crack repair services in Edmonton since 1981.
