Matt, a homeowner in Gainesville, Virginia, had started noticing signs of water coming from behind his insulated but unfinished concrete basement walls. After pulling the insulation back, he discovered dampness along with a thin vertical crack in the corner of the concrete wall, as seen in the before photo.
He reached out on social media looking for recommendations and came across Fortress Foundation Solutions. We sent out Danny, one of our experienced system designers, to complete a thorough evaluation. After inspecting the issue, Danny knew exactly what solution the home needed - a FlexiSpan wall crack repair system.
FlexiSpan is a flexible crack repair system as seen in the after photo designed to seal leaking wall cracks while still allowing for natural wall movement over time. The system is tied into a small section of WaterGuard drainage installed above the footer beneath the floor, allowing any future water seepage to safely drain away instead of entering the basement.
