Foundation: (n.) an underlying basis or principle for something. As the definition says, the foundation of your home is literally the base of which your entire home is built upon. And because of the huge load it carries, the foundation is also more prone to cracks. The only way to ensure that your home is sturdy and safe is to repair it from the ground-up. The first step is to secure the foundation of your home.
Repairing Cracked Foundation
If your home has a poured concrete foundation, the best way to seal the cracks is by using polyurethane or epoxy injections. These injections fill interior cracks in the foundation and even seal hidden cracks that can't be seen from the outside of the foundation. This method of foundation repair lasts for at least ten years, usually much longer. For homes with a concrete block foundation, our team at NV Waterproofing uses hydraulic cement to fill interior wall cracks.
Foundation Waterproofing
Foundation crack repair and foundation waterproofing go hand in hand. Repairing the cracks in the foundation is the first step, but to ensure that no future cracks form, completely waterproofing your home's foundation is a great idea. Waterproofing your foundation is essential for homes in the Northern Virginia area, especially those in Great Falls or areas where there are more hills and many streams running through the neighborhoods. Use waterproofing experts to ensure that your home truly is protected from the environment, and make sure that all necessary steps are taken to provide a long-lasting waterproof solution.
