Wall Cracks

Woods Basement Systems has been repairing foundation cracks with various injection methods for many years.

A poured wall crack is generally caused by shrinkage and this shrinkage continues for 3 years or sometimes longer. If your crack repair method is injection alone, the crack will often get larger and re-leak. Soil expansion and contraction causes foundation movement and re-leaking will occur.

We have the answer for this with the patented Flexispan Crack Repair System.  

Flexispan, eliminates messy, unreliable epoxy or urethane injection. It is revolutionary, permanent and it works every time!   We seal the crack with a special flexible sealant on the surface of the crack from top to bottom.

This bead will slow and in many cases stop the flow of water through the crack. We then stick the strip of 3-1/2" wide, beveled FlexiSpan open cell foam material to the sealant, tucking it into the Waterguard system or drainage created at the floor.

An overcoat of special sealant is applied over the FlexiSpan foam strip overlapping onto the concrete wall at least 2 inches on each side.

The beveled foam strip is covered completely creating a sealed path from the top to the bottom of the poured concrete foundation wall.

It's important to remember that the FlexiSpan System is not draining much water at all, since it incorporates a seal first! If it ever allows any water through the first seal, it would only be less then 5% of the original seepage.

The drainage component is an innovative second line of defense to handle this minor seepage, if it ever occurs. This is what makes FlexiSpan a special repair with completely predictable results
