Crack injection
Polyurethane injection expands to fill the full depth of an active leaking crack; epoxy is used where structural bonding is required.
Window wells and penetrations
Adding a well drain tied into the perimeter system, or re-sealing conduit and pipe penetrations, resolves many isolated leaks.
When to escalate
Leaks appearing in multiple locations, or water rising through the slab-wall joint, point to a drainage problem rather than a sealing problem.

Basement Leak Repair in Vancouver — quick answer
Basement Leak Repair in Vancouver, BC: When water enters at one identifiable point — a vertical crack, a form-tie hole, a window well, or a service penetration — a targeted repair is far cheaper than a full waterproofing job. Vancouver's pre-1970s housing stock still runs on original clay or concrete perimeter drain tile, and heavy winter rainfall on dense city lots makes full-perimeter replacement one of the most common drainage jobs in the city.
