The Problem:
Water Leaking Into Foundation
Water leak locations and problematic foundation cracks are identified. Liftech foundation experts and technicians are professionals at finding and advising all waterproofing solutions at this stage.
Solution Step 1:
Drill Injection Holes Along Cracks
Our technicians drill minimally invasive trategic and precise inection holes that follow the foundation crack(s).
Solution Step 2:
Inject Permeation Foam Sealant
Injecting the chemical foam sealantvalong the perimeter of your home or through the walls of your basement. After injection, the sealant chemical permeates the voids and soil until it reaches groundwater.
Solution Step 3:
Trench Is Filled & Sealed
Once in contact with water, the permeation foam sealant reacts and expands throughout the soil and any existing cracks or unsealed joints in the basement wall. The result stops water intrusion from it’s erroded & cracked entry points.
Stop Water Leaking Into Your Foundation
Permeation foam sealant is an environmentally safe chemical treatment solution that creates a non-permeable soil and polyurethane matrix that stops water from entering your basement. It works by injecting the foam sealant along the perimeter of your home, or through the walls of your basement. After injection, the chemical foam sealant permeates the voids and soil until it reaches groundwater. Afterward, the chemical reacts and expands throughout the soil and any existing cracks or unsealed joints in the basement wall. TThe result stops water intrusion from it’s erroded & cracked entry points. It’s a long-lasting solution that is quickly installed and minimizes impact to your home.

What does Liftech inject into leaking foundation cracks?

I have foundation cracks, but they are not leaking water yet. How should I monitor the cracks?
Monitoring the width of foundation cracks is ultimately the best way to avoid costly foundation repairs. Find 90-degree corners in your home where cracks originate, and measure the width of the cracks twice — for good measure, of course. Repeat this process frequently. If you notice a crack beginning to widen and one end, or the crack you’re measuring is a half-inch or wider, it’s time to get a professional foundation inspection.

- Install diverters that direct water away from the soil around your foundation.
- Add drain extenders to the bottom of your rain gutters directing water at a safe enough distance. Atleast 3 feet.
- Confirm the soil grading next to your home foundation directs water away.
