Foundation crack

One of the most important structural elements

For foundation crack repair in Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and all surrounding cities, trust MAXIUM EXCAVATION.

The appearance of a foundation crack should never be taken lightly. If a foundation crack is left untreated for too long, water infiltration may occur and weaken the concrete foundation while also creating mold and excessive moisture in your basement. Repairing the foundation crack and adding a waterproof membrane to the exterior foundation wall below ground level helps prevent water from infiltrating again.

A home’s foundation is an extremely important structural element because it supports the weight of the building and the settlement of the soil. It is also affected by surrounding structures, vegetation, nearby traffic, moisture, temperature variations and the freeze-thaw cycle.

The hardening and aging of concrete combined with these factors can eventually lead to a foundation crack.

How can you detect the presence of a crack?

A foundation crack can significantly affect the structure of a home. For example, if the following signs appear, it may be time to inspect the foundation:
  • Water infiltration in the basement
  • Excessive indoor humidity contributing to mold growth or the rotting of wood beams and columns
  • Doors and windows that are difficult to close
  • Uneven floors
For all these reasons, homeowners should seek the opinion of a foundation specialist to determine the cause or causes of the foundation crack.
