Find answers to common questions about our foundation repair and
waterproofing services.
How do I know if my foundation crack is serious?
Not all foundation cracks require immediate attention, but some
signs indicate a serious problem: cracks that are wider than 1/4
inch, cracks that are growing or changing, horizontal cracks,
stair-step cracks, and cracks accompanied by water intrusion or
settlement. We offer free inspections to assess your specific
situation.
How long does foundation crack repair take?
Most residential foundation crack repairs can be completed in one
day. The actual time depends on the size and number of cracks. Epoxy
and polyurethane injections typically cure within 24 hours, and you
can use your basement normally after that.
How often should I replace my sump pump?
Most sump pumps last 7-10 years with proper maintenance. However, if
your pump is showing signs of failure (running constantly, making
strange noises, rust or corrosion, or is over 10 years old), it's
time to consider replacement. We recommend annual testing and
maintenance to extend your pump's lifespan.
What causes basement water intrusion?
Basement water intrusion can be caused by several factors:
foundation cracks, poor drainage around the foundation, hydrostatic
pressure from groundwater, malfunctioning gutters and downspouts,
condensation, and sewer backups. We can identify the source and
recommend the appropriate solution.
