  2. Foundation Repair • When a crack appears on the foundation, it should not be long to look for the origin and to remedy it as quickly as possible, as this can have serious consequences for your building.  • Several methods are possible to treat cracks according to their nature.  • Through this article, we will discover some methods of treatment, as well as their respective advantages.

  3. Types of Cracks • There Are Two Types of Foundation Cracks: Active and Passive Cracks • An active crack is an unstable crack that can expand over time.  • In other words, it is the one that opens and closes according to the climatic conditions and the movements of the ground.  • To find out if a crack is active, measure its width during the summer, make a mark on the foundation or install witness strips.  • This will allow you to see, in the following spring, if there has been a change.  • If the crack has hardly changed, it's a passive crack.  • This type of crack is less dangerous and will not worsen over time.  • It is a stable crack that can be caused by the removal of concrete or poor concrete compaction at the time of construction. • Indeed, the best way to know the state of health of the foundations is to use a complete inspection service of the soil.  • This will allow you to have a good diagnosis and take the best corrective action needed.

  4. Repair Foundation Cracks from The Inside or Outside? • There Are Two Options for Crack Repair: From the Inside and The Outside • If the extent of the crack is minimal and it does not cause water infiltration, the technique of injection from the inside will be sufficient to seal the crack.  • This method guarantees efficiency in all conditions.  • It requires no excavation and can be done at any time, regardless of the season. • On the other hand, if the infiltrations are important and the crack is active, it is actually safer to proceed from the outside.  • This technique consists of doubling the protection by repairing the crack and covering it with a flexible and waterproof membrane.  • In general, it is recommended to proceed from the outside, because if the foundation still works slightly, only the outer membrane can follow the movement while remaining waterproof. • The membrane can prevent concrete from absorbing water and being damaged by frost.
