An affordable solution for repairing cracks in poured concrete foundations and helping stop moisture from entering your home.
Injection sealing is an inexpensive and effective solution for repairing cracks in poured concrete foundations. Depending on the crack, access, and repair needs, it may be used as an alternative or companion to foundation crack repair with hydraulic cement.
A leaking crack is more than an annoying puddle on the basement floor. It can allow moisture into your home, creating conditions for mould, mildew, odours, and poor indoor air quality. Even cracks that are not visibly leaking may still allow soil gases such as radon or methane to enter.
At Just Foundations Ottawa, we help homeowners choose the right repair method for their foundation. If injection sealing is not the best long-term solution, we may recommend basement waterproofing, exterior crack repair, weeping tile systems, or related foundation repairs.
Sealing a crack helps reduce water entry, but it can also help protect the overall environment inside your home by limiting excess moisture and damp basement air.
When moisture enters through foundation cracks, mould and mildew can develop. These can contribute to musty odours and may aggravate respiratory concerns in sensitive people.
Some foundation cracks may allow soil gases to enter the home, even if water is not visibly leaking. Sealing openings can be part of a healthier basement strategy.
Injection sealing can be a smart repair option for certain poured concrete cracks, while other problems may need exterior repairs, waterproofing, drainage work, or structural attention.
