Cracked Basement Walls
When you’re faced with cracked basement walls, you will have various options for the repair of the walls. Not all foundation cracks leak. Some can remain dry for many years. However, even these dry foundation cracks have the potential of leaking in the future. It is therefore important to deal with them before they begin leaking.
The Homeowner’s Primary Fear
When it comes to repairing cracked basement walls, there is nothing that homeowners fear as much as the cost of repairing these walls. Many assume that having their walls professionally repaired will cost a lot of money.
Many homeowners also dread the thought of having to deal with a professional waterproofing contractor. They think of the disturbances related to repairing foundations including excavating and begin to look into alternatives.
Common and Unreliable Method of Crack Repair
There are many so-called ‘professionals’ out there who will tell you that they can patch your cracked basement walls back up and you won’t have to worry about them anymore.
Patchwork on concrete foundation walls involves the use of cement to fill in and cover the cracks. The result is quite attractive. When this patchwork is done well, you will hardly notice where the crack was before. It is a cheap, quick and easy solution to repairing a cracked basement wall.
While patchwork offers you quick and attractive results at a lower cost, it is not a good solution for repairing cracks in a basement wall.
-
You’ll waste money
The money you spent on the patchwork will go to waste. You will have to spend more money to have the cracks repaired once again. This is because patchwork doesn’t keep the water at bay for long. Ground water is trapped behind the wall and will eventually force its way through the seal.
-
It will cause an even worse problem
The patchwork only results in water being trapped behind the wall. This results in increased hydrostatic pressure against the wall. This results in the foundation weakening even further. You are likely to have more cracks to deal with than you had before.
-
You will have to invest in waterproofing eventually
You may have saved money today but you will find that you may have to spend even more money on professional waterproofing services eventually in the future. You would rather deal with the waterproofing now than put off the inevitable.

It can result in mold and other water problems
The patch is likely to leak after some time. This will result in mold infestations and other water problems.
