Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Crack Repair Needed Before Home Listing in Millbrook, Ontario
Challenge
A house is more than just a home; it’s a long-term investment and a financial asset. When you sell your home, you want to get as much value as possible, so doing some small repairs is usually a smart move.
A customer in Millbrook, Ontario, was looking to sell their home and wanted their home’s full potential value. They had previously had us in for a crack repair, so when they discovered a new leak, they knew exactly who to call.
System Design Specialist Chris Luke met with the customer at his home and inspected the basement. He isolated where the water was coming in and discovered a crack in the foundation.
Solution
Foreman Mark Dougherty used our FlexiSpan® crack repair system to fix the leak. A polyurethane sealant is injected into the crack to form a durable, flexible seal. Then it is applied on top of the wall for even more protection. An in-floor drain is also installed to direct any additional water to the basement drainage system.
The customer is pleased that the leak has been repaired. His basement is dry, and he’s looking forward to listing his home.
