Photo Album: Basement Crack Repair in Owensville, Ohio

In Owensville, Ohio, this homeowner had a thin, hairline crack in their basement wall that was allowing water to seep in during heavy rains. To stop the leak, we installed our FlexiSpan crack repair system, which channels water away from the crack and prevents future seepage. This solution keeps the basement dry and protects the foundation from water damage without altering the structure of the wall. Be sure to scroll through the photos and read the descriptions to see how the FlexiSpan system was installed.

We started by digging a hole beneath the crack, (the crack may be hard to see from this photo).

We then applied a layer of a polyurethane sealant after prepping the crack with a cleansing.

We then apply a foam drainage strip over the sealant. The strip hangs down into the hole at the floor.

The first layer should never leak. If it ever does, 95% of the water should still be stopped. To ensure a 100% proof solution, we then install a secondary layer of sealant over the foam strip.
