Before & After

FlexiSpan Crack Repair to resolve a leaking crack in the basement wall in Cincinnati, OH

A Cincinnati, Ohio homeowner had a crack in the poured basement wall that was leaking water and called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for a solution to this problem.  The homeowner met with Donny, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that a FlexiSpan Crack Repair System is installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner.

The FlexiSpan Crack Repair System is a patented system from Basement Systems.  The FlexiSpan is a permanent repair and it works every time.  The FlexiSpan Crack Repair System starts with a bead of sealant.  This is a typical method for fixing a leaking crack a poured basement wall.  The bead of sealant will slow the leak if not completely stop the wall from leaking.  Here is where the difference comes in.  After applying a bead of sealant, the FlexiSpan Crack Repair System also includes two more steps.  The reason that this is important is that as the house continues to settle, the leaking crack may open up a little more allowing water to flow through again.  FlexiSpan Crack Repairs extra steps will ensure that the crack remains dry year after year. After the bead of sealant is applied, a FlexiSpan Foam Drain Strip is applied over the bead of sealant.  This Foam Drain Strip will wick any water that gets through the bead of sealant and will drain it down into the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System or drainage system that is installed below.  The Foam Drain Strip is covered by a Flexible Sealant Overlay.  The Flexible Sealant Overlay seals the complete repair and can flex up to 3/4 inch.  This repair was also covered with BrightWall Paneling.  BrightWall Panels can also be used to cover the basement walls to provide a semi-finished look and also help to drain wall leaks down into the drainage system.
