Foundation problems are caused by various factors, with hydrostatic pressure being among the most common. When the soil surrounding your home becomes saturated with rainwater, it places increasing pressure on the foundation. The result is often cracks and leaks that can cause the foundation to shift. If your property is in a location with high levels of groundwater, get regular foundation inspections to confirm it’s not under a lot of stress due to hydrostatic pressure.

Another contributing factor is when the soil contracts. When it loses moisture to evaporation, soil shrinks. As a consequence, that increases the risk of foundation settlement and cracks forming. Then, as soil re-saturates with water again, it expands and places even more pressure against the foundation.
This freeze/thaw cycle can cause problems that will require foundation repair.

Our professionals use DRY-SEAL 5000 Flexible Resins to penetrate foundation cracks to stop water leaks and restore damaged concrete.
