Foundation Crack Repair in Sherwood Park

If you own a home in Sherwood Park, the best time to look at your foundation is right before winter. Inspect exterior cracks before snow covers them. Once snow cover is consistent, they’re hard to see until spring. We offer a free photo assessment, seal leaking cracks, and tell you honestly which ones don’t need anything.

A quick fall walk-around

Outside:

• Look along the exposed foundation for cracks, and note which way they run.
• Make sure soil slopes away from the house.
• Check that downspouts discharge well away from the walls.
• Clear leaves out of window wells.

Inside:

• Check unfinished walls for cracks, damp patches or white chalky lines.
• Look below basement windows for water marks.

Full checklist: inspect your foundation before winter.

Reading what you find

• Dry hairline crack: small hairline cracks may not be a concern. Mark it and check it in spring.
• Wider or leaking crack: have it sealed.
• Horizontal crack: may relate to soil pressure, and is particularly concerning. Get it assessed soon.

Why it matters before winter

Freeze-thaw stresses foundations all winter, and snowmelt pushes water through cracks in spring. A crack you know about in October can be fixed before the thaw. A crack you discover in April usually arrives with a wet basement.

How we fix it

Most leaking vertical cracks are sealed from inside with crack injection. No digging. For walls that need more, we explain the options and the price before any work starts.

If long-term dampness has already caused mould, our sister company Edmonton Mould handles removal.
