Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Corner Window Crack in Cottonwood Heights

Friday, December 15th, 2017 by Davenport Foundation Repair

Challenge

The crack in the foundation, originating from a basement window, was letting water into the home.

Solution

Using our patented FlexiSpan triple barrier system, and our Dry Well product, the home is leak free. The crack was sealed with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer. It gets deep in the cracks to form a durable, flexible seal. The polymer seal should never fail. If it ever does, 95% of the water should still be stopped from leaking in. To ensure a proper repair, we install a secondary layer of drainage on the basement wall -- one that will direct water to your basement drainage system or dry well. To keep your foundation walls looking great, we overlay your sealed wall crack with a polyurethane sealant. After the wall crack has been repaired, the concrete floor is restored flush, with no gaps or openings.
