Cracks in basement walls and floors can lead to significant water intrusion, compromising your home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality. At Dry Ally, we specialize in comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions in Cincinnati and the surrounding areas. Our expert team identifies and repairs wall cracks, ensuring your basement remains dry and secure.

Understanding the Causes of Wall Cracks

Several factors can lead to cracks in basement walls:​

  • Foundation Settling: Over time, homes naturally settle, which can cause vertical or stair-step cracks in foundation walls.​
  • Hydrostatic Pressure: Water accumulation around the foundation exerts pressure on walls, leading to horizontal cracks and potential bowing.
  • Soil Erosion: Poor drainage or heavy rainfall can wash away soil supporting the foundation, resulting in structural stress and cracking.​
  • Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Seasonal temperature changes cause soil expansion and contraction, which can impact the foundation’s integrity.​

Recognizing these causes is crucial for implementing effective repair and waterproofing solutions.

Understanding Basement Wall Cracks

Basement wall cracks can result from various factors, including soil pressure, foundation settling, and hydrostatic pressure. Common types of cracks include:​

  • Vertical Cracks: Often due to foundation settling.
  • Horizontal Cracks: Typically caused by soil pressure and can indicate serious structural issues.
  • Diagonal Cracks: May result from differential settling or soil movement.​

Identifying the type and cause of the crack is crucial for effective repair and waterproofing.

Our Crack Repair & Waterproofing Solutions

Dry Ally offers tailored solutions to address basement wall cracks and prevent water intrusion:​

  • Epoxy Injection: Ideal for structural repairs, epoxy injections bond concrete walls, restoring their integrity and preventing water seepage.
  • Polyurethane Injection: This flexible sealant expands to fill cracks, effectively stopping water leaks and accommodating slight foundation movements. ​
  • Hydraulic Cement Application: Used to seal active leaks, hydraulic cement sets quickly and expands as it cures, forming a watertight seal. ​
  • Surface Sealants: Applying waterproof coatings to basement walls provides an additional barrier against moisture penetration. ​
