House Foundation Crack Question

RHNewfie · 03-26-2009, 07:39 AM

Vertical and spreading the joy of water into the basement!!

It wasn't there before the fire, but appeared after the demo/reno... so I, of course, maintain that they caused it... waiting to see what kind of push-back I get...

13 months and counting trying to get this finished...

They are being nicer these days because I suspect they are trying to avoid legal action for incompetence!!

Water is a different issue. MIne is high up and dry. You have an issue there. Cinderblock or concrete?

Hey Jeff, my sister just had a company inject something into her crack. It was a vertical one and there was a moisture problem that came with it as well.

(OK, I just re-read what I typed... I now feel dirty all over and will be right back after I take a bath in some bleach)

(OK, I'm back now)

Anyways, here's some info.http://www.thecrackdoctor.ca/repairs.htm

I might just save this for a sig line.

Usually caused by poor drainage. I had this issue with an attached concrete porch. You can have it lifted and filled under by pros, but it's not cheap. Maybe worth it assuming you've already addressed any drainage issues.
