Foundation Crack Repair in Spruce Grove

When the basement is finished, a foundation leak in Spruce Grove usually shows up as a stain on drywall, a damp baseboard or a wet patch of carpet. The crack itself is hidden. We help you find it, decide how to reach it, and seal it with as little disruption as possible.

Finding a hidden crack

Clues that a crack is behind the wall:

• staining or bubbling paint low on an exterior wall,
• damp carpet or underpad along the wall after rain or snowmelt,
• a musty smell in one corner,
• a crack visible on the outside of the foundation in the same spot.

Moisture readings along the wall narrow it down before anything is opened.

Inside or outside?

From inside: we remove a strip of drywall and insulation over the crack, inject it, and you or your contractor patch the wall. Typically $500 to $1,500 per crack in Edmonton-area pricing.

From outside: we dig down to the crack, seal it, and apply a membrane. The finished wall stays untouched, but the yard beside the house is disturbed.

Which is better depends on the crack, the finish inside, and what’s outside the wall. See interior vs exterior repair.

Before you rebuild

Make sure the wall behind is dry and there’s no mould before closing it up. If there is, Edmonton Mould handles removal. If there’s standing water now, Water Damage Edmonton dries it first.

Paying for it

Insurance generally doesn’t cover damage from water infiltrating through cracks, according to the City of Edmonton. That’s why we keep the repair targeted, so you’re not paying to waterproof a wall that only has one problem.
