Foundation Crack Repair in Fort Saskatchewan

The most common reason to call us in Fort Saskatchewan is water getting into the basement through the foundation. We seal leaking cracks, assess the ones that might be structural, and handle window wells and drainage where those are the real cause.

What a leaking crack looks like

• A damp line running up or down the foundation wall.
• White chalky staining along a crack, left behind by water.
• Water on the floor below a crack after snowmelt or heavy rain.
• Damp drywall or carpet along an exterior wall.

Snowmelt and heavy rain raise water pressure against basement walls and push water through cracks. So the leak often shows up in spring, even if the crack has been there for years.

How we fix it

For most leaking vertical cracks, we inject the crack from inside the basement. Resin fills the crack through the full thickness of the wall and blocks the water’s path. No digging. Typically $500 to $1,500 per crack in Edmonton-area pricing.

If the crack is horizontal, or the wall is leaning, injection alone isn’t enough. Those may relate to soil pressure and need to be assessed for reinforcement.

Get the water out first

If there’s standing water now, our sister company Water Damage Edmonton handles drying. If damp has led to mould, Edmonton Mould handles removal. Then we seal the crack so it doesn’t happen again.

Insurance

The City of Edmonton says insurance generally doesn’t cover damage from infiltration through cracks. That makes fixing the crack the cheapest protection you have.
