Basement Wall Cracks in Your Richmond Heights, MO Home
This Richmond Heights, Missouri walk-out basement started to form cracks in the foundation wall at the entrance of the basement. Hydrostatic pressure is one of the most common causes of basement wall cracking. As groundwater moves down the basement wall, it makes contact with the outside wall. Then, hydrostatic pressure slowly deteriorates the basement wall, eventually causing it to crack. This homeowner will now enjoy a dry basement all the time.

PolyLevel Work in Warrenton, Missouri
David C. of Warrenton, Missouri had a sinking floor in his garage and a cracked concrete porch, so he decided to call woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Peter N. recommended installing PolyLevel.
Foreman, Matthew R. installed the product. PolyLevel is made of a polyurethane formula that expands underneath the concrete to lift it back to its original position. It works to permanently lift and stabilize sinking concrete slabs. How it works is first, small holes are drilled into the concrete slab and then the polymer is injected into the void. The holes are then covered with cement and within 15 minutes of installation, the concrete can be used again.
Now David C. can enjoy his safe garage and porch again.

Basement Floor Cracks
Water can also rise directly through the porous concrete of your floor slab, a problem that's exacerbated when there's a crack. When you have water coming through the floor, the first step is installing a perimeter drain system. We can also install a direct drainage channel, which will help direct any water that comes through the crack into the drain and your sump pump. Finally, we will backfill the crack with stone and cover it with fresh concrete to prevent future leaks.

Basement Wall Cracks
The soil around your foundation is filled with water, and even the smallest crack will allow this groundwater to seep into your basement. Much like with floor cracks, the first step to repairing a leaky wall crack is installing one of our drainage systems. We then use an innovative polyurethane sealant called FlexiSpan® to seal the crack. This flexible sealant will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of your foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofed seal.

Basement Leaky Windows
A waterproof seal. Prevent future leaks with our basement window sealing system.
Window frames break down over time, creating separation and allowing water to seep past seals. Once again, the first step for repair window leaks is a drainage system that funnels the water to your sump pump. We will then create a small hole in the wall under the basement window with a plastic fitting that directs any water into the drainage system. This is then sealed with a polymer injection for a clean, waterproof finish.
Repair your leaking basement floor and wall cracks today!
Water can enter your home at any point where there is an opening in the foundation. This includes not only cracks in the basement walls and floors but around pipes as well. Our solutions provide lasting results that are compatible with your perimeter drainage system and will not crumble, flake off your walls, or fail due to the natural expansion and shrinking of the concrete.
