Foundation cracks are not only an eyesore but pose a threat to the integrity of your home. Any identified cracks are assessed and repaired immediately before they cause irreparable damage.
Foundation crack repair can be undertaken even without the input of professionals. The repairs are done using carbon fiber bars that are excellent in permanently repairing cracks on the foundation. The carbon fiber bars are injected alongside an epoxy polymer to fix foundation cracks permanently.
Since it is often not possible to identify if a leaking crack in the foundation is structurally related, it is recommended that you use carbon fiber bars and epoxy resins. The use of fiber bar reinforced epoxy to repair a crack seals it permanently such that it will not leak again. Make use of a fast setting epoxy so that it dries up and cures before leaking through to the cavity behind a foundation crack.
If the project entails finishing the basement, it is also difficult to identify a crack that has formed and is leaking. An undiscovered leak will be the cause of mildew and rot in the basement giving it a foul smell and posing a health threat. Finishing the basement with epoxy will help fix the cracks and holds together the concrete surface. Epoxy is a flexible plug that will permanently seal the crack even though it might detach if the concrete shifts in an outward direction.
The carbon fiber bars will provide the strength that will hold the concrete together and prevent it from cracking further. Therefore, the repaired crack will become stronger than the forces that were initially pulling it apart.
The epoxy also serves to waterproof the area to prevent leaking and keep the home dry and safe. The homeowner can rest easy having all foundation cracks filled and then finishing the basement.
