Basement Foundation Crack Repair Costs – Edmonton

How much does it cost to repair basement foundation cracks in Edmonton?

The cost to repair basement cracks in Edmonton can range from $800.00 – $2500.00 per crack, depending on the repair method. 

There are typically two ways to repair basement cracks, and each method can cost about the same, once all repairs are added up:

1. Basement Crack Injections
2. Basement Waterproofing

Edmonton basement crack injection costs: a temporary short-term option.
Basement crack injection companies inject urethane/epoxy into basement cracks to try and prevent water from leaking into basements. Crack injections require the removal & replacement of interior drywall, insulation later and studs, and later the refinishing & repainting of the inside area of your basement, which adds *additional costs. *These costs are not usually included in crack injection price quotes. 

All basement foundations crack at some point in their lifespan. However, not all basement cracks are a result of water damage. For cracks that are not a result of foundation water issues, there are very cost effective ways to cosmetically repair them… much less costly than crack injections.

Approximately 25% of our basement crack repair clients have had their basement cracks injected with urethane/epoxy in the past. So 25% of our business is a result of other companies failing to properly address the root cause of basement crack leakage. This failure to fix the underlying issue/s often leads to future structural concerns, mold, and more time and costs being spent to fix a problem the second time around. 

Edmonton basement waterproofing repair cost: a permanent basement crack solution.

For basement cracks that are a result of water issues (leaking, or with the potential to leak), it makes sense to assess and properly repair the drainage system around your home’s exterior. Correctly repairing and waterproofing basement cracks from the exterior of the basement does not require the removal of drywall or insulation, and as such, properly assessing and repairing the cause of the crack will often cost the same, or even less than crack injection… and you won’t need to pay for further crack repairs, as the CAUSE of the crack/leaks has been fixed correctly. 

Our inspection and estimates for basement crack repair costs are free. We fully inspect how your home deals with water surrounding basement cracks – Edmonton & area. No obligations, just the facts from an expert basement crack repair expert (we’ve been repairing basement cracks in Edmonton for 36+ years).

We also take on less extensive means of addressing basement water leakage through yard regrading, and window-well drainage repairs to help your home deal with water leakage, caused by basement cracking.

Is it true that foundation crack injection repairs cost less than exterior foundation repairs that involve excavating?

No, this is not true, the truth is:
We’ve heard from many homeowners who’ve paid almost exactly the same for crack injection and subsequent interior repairs, as we would have charged them to properly repair their foundation cracks from the outside of their foundation wall, which is a permanent repair.

As foundation repair specialists, the two most common questions we hear from clients are:

1. How much do basement foundation crack repairs cost?
2. Will exterior foundation repairs cost more then interior crack injection repairs?

The cost of your foundation crack repair depends on a few factors:

• The condition/age of your home or building’s foundation
• If a weeping tile system and sump pump were properly installed when your house was built
• The soil types that surround your home or building’s foundation.

The most important factor determining the cost of a foundation repair is to have an experienced foundation specialist personally evaluate the cracks, waterproofing leakage, and/or foundation settling & shifting, to get an exact cost of the repairs. In addition, a foundation specialist can give you detailed explanations of exactly why and how your basement’s foundation is leaking and/or is experiencing settlement.

Unlike many basement crack repair companies in Edmonton that inject urethane/epoxy into your foundation cracks, Abalon takes a common-sense approach: We identify the root cause of your basement’s foundation leakage, and then repair your foundation wall to uphold its integrity… we don’t take the temporary approach to plug basement foundation cracks. 

This is because many foundation cracks, and leakage, can often be solved by other less expensive means. Not all cracks leak, and spending money to plug basement cracks may not solve the moisture concerns going on behind your foundation walls. Before we begin any work at all, we thoroughly inspect not only the interior of your basement but the perimeter to identify any eavestrough, grading, or siding issues… all at no-cost during our free on-site inspection. This helps us to tell each customer the full story of how and why their foundation is leaking, and if prevention can help you avoid sometimes costly repairs.

Is it true that foundation crack injection repairs cost less than exterior foundation repairs that involve excavating?

No, this is not true.
In our 45 years of operation we’ve heard many instances where homeowners were told by foundation companies who provide interior crack injection repairs that any exterior repairs involving excavating will cost significantly more.

The truth is, we’ve heard from many homeowners who paid almost exactly the same as it would have cost for us to repair their foundation cracks from the outside of their foundation wall… and our repairs fix basement leaking permanently. 

As the longest operating foundation repair company in Western Canada, we understand why our competitors use this language to sell their repairs, but it’s simply unfair to homeowners. As your foundation repair experts, it is our responsibility to:

• Correctly identify the root-cause of foundation issues in your foundation, and thoroughly inspect your home to identify if foundation repairs are even necessary,
• Evaluate your foundation’s problems so that each homeowner understands their unique structural issues (if any),
• Provide a long-term foundation repair that correctly and permanently restores the integrity of your basement’s foundation.

Hiring an Edmonton foundation repair contractor: a good warranty matters

Another factor, which separates one Edmonton foundation crack repair company from another, is their commitment to go the distance with your foundation crack repair project. We include a (minimum) 10-year warranty on every foundation repair we complete. Our warranty is homeowner transferable, in case you decide to sell your investment down the road. We’ve also repaired the foundations of many homeowners who are looking to restore their foundation’s condition before they decide to sell, to get the full value of their property.

The most important factor that separates Edmonton foundation repair companies is how they leave you feeling. As accredited foundation specialists since 1970, we provide no-cost basement crack inspections in Edmonton for all homeowners … and we don’t ask for any payment until the repair is 100% complete.
