Foundation Repair In Scarborough
Project Overview.
A Scarborough homeowner noticed cracked bricks along their exterior foundation wall, a clear sign that the structure beneath was shifting. Because thin, active cracks like these often respond best to injection-based repair rather than full excavation, they reached out to Aquatech for a full foundation repair solution built to seal the cracks permanently from the inside out.
Challenges:
- Cracked Bricks on the Exterior Wall: Visible cracking in the brickwork pointed to underlying foundation movement.
- Thin, Active Cracks: The cracks were narrow but active, requiring a precise sealing method rather than heavy structural work.
- Avoiding Unnecessary Excavation: The homeowner wanted an effective fix without the cost and disruption of digging around the foundation.
- Stopping Water Intrusion Through the Cracks: Beyond the cosmetic issue, the cracks risked letting water into the basement if left untreated.
Materials Used
- Epoxy injection resin for crack sealing
- Polyurethane injection foam for active leaks
- Wall anchors for structural reinforcement
- Hydraulic cement for surface repair
- Crystalline waterproofing admixture
- PVC waterstop for joint sealing
Solutions Implemented:
- Detailed Crack Assessment: First, our skilled team examined the cracked brickwork and foundation wall, confirming that epoxy injection was the right method for this type of damage. This assessment ruled out the need for full excavation.
- Targeted Repair Plan: Next, we developed a repair plan centered on injecting the cracks directly, restoring structural strength without disturbing the surrounding property.
- Epoxy Injection Application: We then injected high-strength epoxy resin directly into each crack, bonding the concrete back together and sealing it against future water intrusion.
- Final Inspection: Finally, we conducted a thorough inspection to confirm each crack was fully sealed and the foundation’s structural integrity was restored.

After we completed the repair, the cracked bricks were fully sealed, and the underlying structural movement was addressed at its source. Because epoxy injection required no excavation, the homeowner’s landscaping and driveway remained completely undisturbed.
