Concrete Foundation Repair (from the outside)

[juliediane]

I've got a vertical hairline crack that runs the full height of the basement wall and leaks. I understand the only way to properly repair this is to dig down beside the foundation floor preparation Brisbane. What I'm not sure about is what process or products to use from there? I only want to do this once.

I can't locate a backwater valve so I may not have weeping tile.

You can repair the crack but it wont hold until you fix the root of the cause. There are a lot of good solutions for a bad foundation but they are mega expensive.

To properly repair the leaking vertical crack, excavate down to the footing beside the foundation. Clean the wall thoroughly, then seal the crack with high-quality hydraulic cement or epoxy filler. Once dry, apply a waterproof membrane like Blueskin WP200 over the crack and surrounding area. Cover that with a dimpled drainage board to protect the membrane and direct water downward. Since you may not have weeping tile, install a new perforated drain pipe at the footing level, wrap it in filter fabric, and surround it with gravel. Finally, backfill with free-draining soil. This ensures a long-lasting, watertight repair.
