Basement Wall Cracks and Leaks in New York

Leaks in concrete structures have troubled home and building owners for decades in New York.

A poured wall crack is generally caused by concrete shrinkage and this shrinkage will continue for three years after the walls are initially poured and sometimes continue even longer. And then, continued pressures such as soil contraction and expansion can cause further cracking and separation.

So a long-term solution is needed, and one that is flexible enough to permanently fix the crack even with continued wall movement.

Basement Systems has been repairing cracks with various injection methods for many years. In fact, we were pioneers in applying polyurethane injection to residential wall cracks before anyone had heard of such a thing. Injecting sealant materials into wall cracks was a big breakthrough at the time.

Yet, we have watched and struggled as structural movement, continued shrinkage of the wall, and other factors on new and older homes alike have caused these repairs to fail.

Therefore, if your repair method is injection alone, the crack will often get larger and re-leak. Soil expansion & contraction causes foundation movement and re-leaking will occur. We searched for a better way and now we have found it.
