Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Basement Wall Crack Repair in Bowmanville
Challenge
System Design Specialist Chris Luke went out to Bowmanville to inspect a crack starting at the corner of a window well, leading to the floor of the homeowner’s basement floor. These cracks often come from the natural soil settlement around a home or concrete curing over time. Small cracks like this may not threaten your foundation structurally but can lead to water problems. This home in Bowmanville was experiencing water seepage in the crack coming from the window well and called Clarke Basement Systems to see if we could repair it.
Solution
An experienced foreman sealed the small crack within less than an hour. Using our FlexiSpan® wall system, the polyurethane sealant is laid with a 95% guarantee that it will not leak. If for some reason, it ever was to, a secondary drainage system is equipped with the FlexiSpan® that sits over the basement wall. It will then lead to your direct basement drain system.
The customer was impressed with how quickly the repair was done, as well as the lifetime warranty that came along with the FlexiSpan®.
