Foundation Repair In North York
Project Overview.
An older property in North York had been suffering from ongoing seepage that was affecting the basement’s usability. Because the underlying cause turned out to be foundation cracks rather than surface moisture, the homeowner reached out to Aquatech for help. As a result, our team developed a comprehensive foundation repair solution that addressed both the structural cracks and the drainage issues feeding them.
Challenges:
- Ongoing Seepage in an Older Home: Persistent moisture had been affecting the basement’s usability for some time, with no lasting fix in place.
- Foundation Cracks as the Root Cause: The seepage traced back to cracks in the foundation itself, not just surface-level dampness.
- Aging Infrastructure: Because the property was older, the repair needed to account for outdated drainage and materials.
- Restoring Full Use of the Basement: The homeowner wanted the space usable again, not just temporarily drier.
Materials Used
- Helical piers for foundation stabilization
- Push piers for structural support
- Wall anchors for bowing wall correction
- Hydraulic cement for crack repair
- Crystalline waterproofing admixture
- PVC waterstop for joint sealing
Solutions Implemented:
- Meticulous Property Assessment: First, our experienced team conducted a thorough inspection of the foundation, carefully checking for cracks, uneven floors, and other signs of damage. This assessment identified soil settlement and poor drainage as the underlying causes of the seepage.
- Customized Repair Plan: Next, we developed a tailored repair plan designed specifically to address the property’s older infrastructure and unique structural needs.
- Helical Pier and Wall Anchor Installation: We then installed helical piers and wall anchors to restore stability and strength to the foundation, correcting the structural movement at its source.
- Crack Repair and French Drain Installation: Finally, we sealed all foundation cracks and installed a French drain system to redirect water away from the foundation, resolving the seepage for good.
Results for Foundation Repair in North York
After we completed the repair, the basement regained its full usability, free from the ongoing seepage that had affected it for so long. Because the French drain now handles water management effectively, the underlying cause of the moisture is fully resolved, not just masked.
In addition, the work is backed by Aquatech’s lifetime warranty, giving the homeowner lasting confidence in their older home’s foundation.
