A leaking basement can be caused by something as simple as a crack in a poured concrete wall or may be a sign of foundation movement that requires additional support. Our first step is to assess the problem, find the source of the leak, and recommend a repair based on what your basement actually needs.

What Causes Basement Leaks?

Winnipeg homes are exposed to changing temperatures, snowmelt, heavy rainfall, and clay soil that expands and contracts as moisture levels change. Over time, this movement can put pressure on concrete foundation walls and contribute to cracks and basement leaks.

Common signs of a basement leak include:

• Dampness or water staining around a crack
• Dripping or pooling water
• Leaks that return after heavy rain or snowmelt
• Water entering through a foundation crack
• Hairline cracks that have started leaking
• Cracks that are growing or changing
• Bulging, bowing, or movement in a foundation wall

Not every basement leak requires the same repair. Identifying both the source of the water and the condition of the foundation helps us determine the appropriate solution.

Finding the Right Repair for Your Basement Leak

Many basement leaks can be repaired from inside the home without excavation. Depending on the crack and condition of the foundation, Foundation Sealant Systems may recommend polyurethane crack injection, epoxy crack injection, or additional structural reinforcement.

Polyurethane crack injection is well suited to many leaking cracks in poured concrete foundations. The polyurethane expands within the crack to create a flexible seal and stop water from entering.

Epoxy crack injection creates a strong bond within the concrete and may be recommended when a crack requires structural repair rather than leak sealing alone.

If a foundation wall is bulging, bowing, or showing signs of structural movement, crack injection alone may not be enough. In these situations, steel wall bracing can be installed alongside the appropriate crack repair to provide additional support.

Our Basement Leak Repair Process

Step 1: We inspect the problem area and assess the foundation to determine where the water is entering.
Step 2: We identify the appropriate repair based on the type of crack, active leaking, and any signs of foundation movement.
Step 3: We complete the recommended repair, including crack injection and structural reinforcement when required.
Step 4: We clean the work area and leave the repair site clean and tidy.

Don’t Ignore a Leaking Basement

A basement water leak may seem minor when it first appears, but foundation cracks and movement can worsen over time. Water can find its way through an untreated crack whenever conditions outside the foundation are right.

Early assessment can help determine whether you are dealing with a straightforward leaking crack or a larger foundation problem.

If you’ve found water in your basement or noticed a crack that has started leaking, don’t wait for the next heavy rainfall or spring thaw. Contact Foundation Sealant Systems for a free assessment. We’ll inspect the problem and recommend the right basement leak repair for your Winnipeg home.
