Photo Album: Wall Repair Solution In Warrington, PA Basement

This Warrington, PA homeowner was becoming increasingly fed up with basement wall cracks, an issue likely caused by ongoing moisture intrusion, which prompted them to contact Quality 1st for a lasting fix. After taking a closer look at the state of the basement, our team was able to devise a customized waterproofing and repair approach that involved the installation of our patented FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair Method, along with the addition of our high-performance IceGuard Discharge Line. Together these systems helped to fully stabilize the cracking basement walls and prevent further water intrusion issues, allowing this homeowner to enjoy a renewed sense of pride in the health and structural longevity of their home!

Wall Cracks

Cracks in this homeowner's basement wall were caused by hydrostatic pressure from poor drainage and shifting soil. Addressing them was crucial to prevent structural damage, water intrusion, and costly future repairs, ensuring the home's safety and stability.

During Repair

Before installing our FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System, the crew thoroughly prepared the wall by cleaning the crack area to remove any dirt, debris, or loose material. This ensured a strong bond for the sealant. They then widened the crack slightly, if needed, to allow the polyurethane sealant to penetrate deeply for a more effective seal.

Installing FlexiSpan

The crew began by sealing the surface crack with a flexible polyurethane sealant, allowing it to expand and contract with the wall over time. We then installed a foam drain strip behind the crack and covered it with a durable FlexiSpan membrane, directing any potential water seepage to a drainage system, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-proof repair.

FlexiSpan System

FlexiSpan offers a permanent, flexible solution for leaking wall cracks, sealing out water while allowing the wall to shift naturally over time, preventing future leaks and protecting your basement from moisture damage.

IceGuard Discharge Line

We installed IceGuard alongside FlexiSpan to ensure year-round basement protection, IceGuard prevents water backup from frozen discharge lines, allowing water to escape safely even in freezing conditions.
