FlexiSpan and BrightWall to resolve water seeping in through a crack in Leesburg, OH

Before	After

This homeowner was had water seeping into the basement through some cracks in a poured foundation wall.  The homeowner called us and met with our Certified Inspector who recommended the FlexiSpan crack repair system to resolve this problem for the homeowner.

The FlexiSpan Crack Repair System is used to seal a crack in a poured foundation wall in the basement.  The FlexiSpan crack repair begins with a bead of sealant placed over the crack to seal it.  This is a typical method of repairing a foundation wall crack that is leaking water into the basement.  The problem with only using a sealant is that as the ground freezes and thaws, and the house continues to settle, the crack could reopen a bit, allowing water to flow into the basement again.  Here is where the FlexiSpan is different.  After sealing the crack with the sealant, a FlexiSpan foam drain strip is also placed over the bead of sealant.  The FlexiSpan foam drain strip will drain any water that leaks through the bead of sealant, and will direct the water down into the drainage well that will be installed at the bottom of the repair.  The FlexiSpan crack repair system can also be tucked into the WaterGuard, our patented waterproofing drainage system.  The next layer is a sealant overlay, which is placed over the FlexiSpan foam strip to completely seal the repair.  The Sealant Overlay can flex up to 3/4's an inch, providing a long lasting solution. Lastly, we place a BrightWall panel over the crack to make the basement wall look cleaner.
