Crack Repair in Cambridge
A homeowner in Cambridge contacted our team after noticing dampness and minor water seepage along a vertical foundation crack in their basement wall. Left untreated, such cracks can expand over time and compromise both the wall’s structure and the basement’s dryness. Our goal was to restore strength and prevent future leaks.
Assessment & Preparation
After inspection, we identified a single foundation crack allowing groundwater to enter during rainfall. The area was cleaned, dried, and prepared for a structural injection. We used a two-stage repair method: a high-strength epoxy resin was first injected deep into the crack to bond the concrete internally, followed by a flexible polyurethane sealant to close off any moisture pathways from the outside.
Repair & Testing
Once the materials cured, the wall was smoothed and sealed with a protective coating. Our team performed a controlled water test to confirm that no seepage or dampness remained along the repair line. The entire process was completed within one day, minimizing disruption for the homeowner.
Results
The basement is now completely dry, and the repaired wall has regained its full structural integrity. The homeowner reported immediate improvement — no odours, no water stains, and renewed peace of mind knowing the issue has been permanently resolved.
