Q. Is waterproofing a basement worth it?

Nowadays, basement waterproofing is a cost-effective option for homeowners looking to protect their home from foundation damage. As the name implies, your foundation is the most important part of your home! It forms the basis for the stability of your home – keeping you and your property safe.

Q. How do foundation cracks form on basement foundation walls?

Concrete settles over time, which causes foundation cracks and buckling basement walls. Concrete is porous, so it absorbs water through capillary action during the winter. When the air temperature rises in the spring, the concrete releases the water vapour, which creates hydrostatic pressure on the foundation wall.

In addition to a bowed or cracked basement wall, there are other warning signs that should prompt a call to a professional for an inspection. The sooner a repair is made, the more you can save on potential expenses.
