Basement Leak Repair — Crack Injection & Sealing, BC

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.

How a working drainage system protects a home

Rain runs off the roof, into the leaders, down through drain rock to the perimeter drain, then out to the storm connection or sump — keeping water off the foundation wall.

Basement Leak Repair — quick answer

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.
