There shouldn’t be cracks in your cinder block basement walls. A cracked block foundation indicates underlying structural damage, especially if you notice the crack widening or growing over time.
Helitech Waterproofing & Foundation Repair will accurately diagnose the root of the problem—whether it’s a buildup of hydrostatic pressure behind your wall, settling of the soil underneath your home or just a minor cosmetic blemish. Then we will devise a comprehensive foundation repair plan that addresses your home’s needs.
Our team of structural engineers and foundation specialists know how important itisto address foundation problems head on. This prevents foundation failure and ensures the structural integrity of your home for years to come.
There are a variety of foundation repairs that will work for cracked block foundations. Simple and low-cost epoxy resin injections will work for minor or cosmetic repairs. Serious foundation cracks, however, require more drastic action. For example, helical pile systems can transfer the weight of your home’s weakened foundation to more stable, load-bearing soil deep within the ground.
Don’t let damage escalate to failure.
