About Basements:
The most common methods for building foundations are block and poured concrete.
Older styles of foundation could be fieldstone or rubble and concrete. Therefore, each type of foundation can have its own unique problem and there are various methods for solving these problems.

Window Wells
Window wells are subjected to great wear and tear as they tend to be ignored. When allowed to become clogged, water starts pooling in the area and this then washes over the window sill and into the basement.

Crack Injections
You often find vertical cracks in poured concrete foundations.
Not all cracks leak or will leak, but it is disconcerting when you find a crack leaking or not.
Call us for a free inspection and explanation of how the crack can be repaired.
The preferred method for crack repairs is always a professional crack injection.
The reason for it always to be a professional repair is that if it is done right the first time you save money and get piece of mind. If a crack injection is completed improperly then you are looking at having to do an external dig to seal the crack. This raises the cost significantly and also causes disruption to your landscaping, no matter how diligent the clean up is after the dig.

Pressure grouting with polyurethane foams or 100% solid epoxies can solve a host of problems that plague property owners, managers and maintenance technicians.
Problems such as structural weakness due to cracking or improperly amalgamated concrete, water penetration problems through cracking, core holes, conduit leaks or joints leaking.
When left unattended many of these conditions can mushroom into bigger structural damage causing items to be lost and even resulting in property losses for yourself or your client.
Mechanical repairs due to rusting of pipes and conduits can be easily avoided with preventative maintenance, stop the water infiltrating and you stop the rusting process.

Waterproofing and Protection
Waterproofing and protection techniques are used to control deterioration of structures. These techniques alter service or exposure conditions, enhance physical properties, install barriers, alter electro-chemical behavior, or halt water infiltration.
Waterproofing and coating techniques prevent water from entering or exiting a structure through cracks, joints, or failed water-stops. While protection techniques extend the time duration between maintenance cycles.
Choosing appropriate techniques requires an evaluation of factors such as cause and effect relationships, useful life, constructability, environment, aesthetics, and cost-benefits.
Ontario Crack Repair Ltd. has the experience necessary to perform the best applicable waterproofing and protection techniques based on the particular project and service requirements.

Concrete and Reinforcement Repair
Concrete repair replaces defective, damaged, or deteriorated concrete; restores structural function; protects the surface or underlying concrete from aggressive environments; and restores any lost performance requirements.
Concrete repair problems are diverse in nature. Each condition requires a clear understanding of what is expected of the repair including appearance, protection needs, and load carrying requirements.
Critical to successful concrete repair is proper surface preparation of the area being repaired. This includes complete removal of concrete around and below the reinforcing steel and preparation of the substrate. Combined, these techniques ensure maximum bond between the new repair material and the existing substrate, resulting in effective and long-lasting repairs.
An effective repair strategy must draw from a variety of repair materials, each having an installation technique that best suits both the material and the strategy.
At Ontario Crack Repair Ltd, we have the expertise to utilize specialized technique applicable to surface repair material installation. Request for a quote>
This is one of most popular applications for new home construction and is also recommended for block or stone foundations.
The area is accessed by excavating to reach the bottom of the foundation, Delta membrane is applied to the walls, a new weeping tile is installed (if required) & back fill the excavated area. Please see the Process page for more information. Request for a quote>
Poor Drainage Around Your Home Can Cause Problems
Poor drainage conditions can leave your home vulnerable to a number of serious health, safety and financial concerns.
Soils with clay expand as they absorb water. And contract as they dry. That can cause foundation damage. Landscapes sloped toward the house can cause numerous problems. Absences of gutters or downspouts separated from a total drainage solution are working against your home as well.
Gutters: A lack of gutters or having your downspouts disconnected from a proper drainage solution can dump lots of excess water into the soil surrounding your home. This excess moisture can cause clay soils to expand, often causing that part of your foundation to have sediment problems. This can result in the same loss of support or stability of your foundation and leave cracks in your interior walls or exterior brick.
Sloped Landscapes: This can cause water to pool in areas around your home, causing the same issues mentioned above. Sprinkler systems that put to much water in the wrong places can also cause problems.
Excess Soil Moisture: To much water can create hydrostatic pressure causing the soil to expand. When the soil expands, it puts excess pressure on your home's foundation which can lead to structural and cosmetic damage.
Without a proper water management solution, your home can be exposed to extensive damage and may lose value.
A thorough and proper exterior water management solution addressing all of the issues is the surest way of controlling drainage problems and helping to prevent future foundation damage resulting from excess soil moisture. Request for a quote>
