Foundation Crack Repair for Edmonton Homes

Edmonton is hard on foundations. We seal leaking basement cracks across the city, assess the ones that might be structural, and give you straight answers and clear prices, because you’ll most likely be paying yourself.

Edmonton’s soil and climate

Edmonton has clay-rich soils and freeze-thaw conditions. Clay holds water against your foundation. When that wet soil freezes, frost heave pushes it upward and stresses the walls. Repeat that every winter and cracks open up.

In spring, snowmelt and heavy rain raise water pressure against basement walls and push water through those cracks. That’s why so many Edmonton homeowners notice cracks, sticking doors and basement moisture in spring rather than in winter.

Cracks and basement flooding

The City of Edmonton lists infiltration through basement cracks as one of the main causes of basement flooding, alongside surface water and sewer backup. The City also says insurance generally doesn’t cover damage from infiltration through cracks. So sealing a leaking crack protects you from a cost you’d likely carry alone.

What we do in Edmonton homes

• Free photo assessment. Send a photo with a tape measure beside the crack.
• Interior crack injection for most leaking vertical cracks. Typically $500 to $1,500 per crack in Edmonton. No digging.
• Assessment of horizontal cracks and bowing walls, which may relate to soil pressure and are particularly concerning.
• Exterior repair and waterproofing where the wall needs it.

Fall is checking season

Inspect exterior cracks before snow covers them. Once snow cover is consistent, they’re hard to see until spring. Our before-winter checklist takes about 20 minutes.
