Basement Crack Repair with
Injection and CFRP
A leaking basement foundation crack was sealed with expanding foam and reinforced with carbon fiber, providing both waterproofing and long-term structural strength.
View PDFThe Problem
A homeowner in Oakville discovered water damage in their basement, including wet drywall and insulation in one corner. After removing the damaged materials, a foundation crack was revealed that extended above the soil line, allowing water to enter the home.
This indicated that the issue was not just surface moisture but an active crack providing a pathway for ongoing leakage. Over time, this type of crack can worsen due to soil pressure and environmental factors, increasing the risk of further interior damage and structural concerns.
⚠ Water was continuously entering the basement through an active structural foundation crack, risking further damage and crack expansion.
The Solution
Pro Waterproofers repaired the crack using a combination of polyurethane injection and carbon fiber reinforcement. The crack was cleaned and prepared, and injection ports were installed before injecting expanding polyurethane foam, which filled all voids and sealed the area against water penetration.
Once cured, the surface was reinforced using the Rhino Carbon Fiber Crack Repair Kit (Bidirectional), applying a carbon fiber strap over the crack to provide long-term structural support and prevent further movement. This approach delivered both waterproofing and reinforcement, resulting in a durable and professional repair.
