Clarke Basement Systems Case Studies: Leaking caused by a Foundation Wall Crack in Bowmanville, ON
Challenge
A crack in a poured concrete foundation had opened up and begun leaking. The builder did the repair several years ago, but it did not stand the test of time. This is a common problem in any home, as the foundation expands and contracts as the seasons change.
Solution
Inspector Steve Matthews recommended FlexiSpan to be installed. FlexiSpan is a flexible membrane that is used to permanently seal the crack from the inside. Mark Dougherty, the installation technition, used our CleanSpace wall membrane to protect the repairs as the home owner was replacing the drywall right after the repair was complete.
