Our customized foundation repair solutions will ensure the structural integrity and long-term value of your home.

A structural foundation crack typically appears when a foundation wall feels uneven or the crack spans about ¼ inch or more in width. These significant cracks can compromise the stability of your home, and in certain cases, you’ll need an engineer’s guidance before proceeding with any basement foundation repair. Horizontal cracks are especially concerning because they often signal ongoing pressure from expanding and contracting soil—commonly clay—against your basement walls, sometimes causing them to bow.

Signs of a damaged foundation can also include:

Visible Hairline Cracks across the outside of foundation walls
Sinking or Rising Soil and concrete around the foundation perimeter
Cracking on Interior Walls (concrete, cinder block, or even finished drywall)
Misaligned Doorways and Windows or gaps around their frame

Some minor cracks in basement walls occur naturally due to seasonal expansion and contraction, or slight settlement of your home over time. These hairline cracks often can be sealed from the inside using epoxy injections—a specialized service FoundationGuard is proud to offer for vertical foundation crack repair. Epoxy bonds the concrete back together, preventing leaks and further deterioration, and is generally more cost-effective than other waterproofing options.

If you notice basement leaks or suspicious cracks, it’s best to consult a professional waterproofing contractor in Toronto like FoundationGuard. New concrete often develops surface cracks as it shrinks during the curing process; these may not penetrate the entire wall. It’s also common to find small cracks near windows and doors, where the foundation wall has “voids.”

By identifying the crack type and severity, we can determine whether you need a simple epoxy injection or a more comprehensive exterior or interior basement waterproofing solution.

FoundationGuard’s Process:

Engineer Report (If Needed): When structural concerns arise, we’ll coordinate with an engineer to assess the foundation thoroughly.
Structural Foundation Repair: Following the engineer’s specifications, we’ll address any structural issues to stabilize your home.
Waterproofing Application: Once the foundation is repaired, we apply our trusted basement waterproofing materials to keep your property secure against future leaks.
Backfilling & Tamping (External Repairs): If the repair takes place externally, we’ll backfill the soil and tamp it down to protect the newly installed waterproofing membrane.

Contact us today for a thorough inspection, and let us help protect your home from leaks, damage, and costly future repairs.

Before & After

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes foundation problems?

Foundation problems are nearly always caused by one (or more) of the following:

Too Much Water. When the soil around the foundation of your walls swells, usually due to heavy rains, it exerts additional pressure on your walls, called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure can weaken your foundation’s structure.
Not Enough Water. If your area is experiencing a drought, the soil around your foundation will shrink and pull away from your foundation walls. As the soil moves, your foundation walls may not have the required support and can crack.
Surrounding Soil. Similar to water issues, expansive and consolidating soils, like clay soil, can affect your home by expanding and constricting. Expansion can cause upheaval (your foundation going up), while constriction can cause settlement (your foundation sinking).
Poor Drainage. If the area surrounding your home has poor drainage, it’s likely to affect your foundation.
Poor Preparation.If the contractor who built your home did not prepare the soil before building, you’ll likely experience settling.
Poor Construction. If your home was built with substandard techniques, your foundation could experience shifts or cracking.

What are the signs of Foundation Issues?

If you experience foundation problems, contact a foundation repair company immediately. Some typical signs that it’s time to reach out to a professional include:

Foundation cracks are the most obvious sign of damage. Call FoundationGuard as soon as you notice any vertical, horizontal, or stair-step cracks in your foundation.
Wall cracks are common, especially in older homes. But if you notice large or thick cracks in your drywall, plaster, or basement walls, the house may be settling.
Bowing or leaning walls indicate that your foundation’s health is facing severe pressure and could worsen over time. Efforts to stabilize or reposition bowing walls should be taken at the first signs of inward movement.
Foundation sinking or rising can be fairly easy to spot. While every house does settle some over time, excessive foundation settlement can be detrimental to your home’s load-bearing capacity.
Sagging floors can point to issues with the structural stability of your floor joists or foundation due to water damage.
Cracks above window frames indicate a settling foundation, as they are a vulnerable structural opening.
Sticking doors or windows can mean your foundation is settling or rising.
