Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Foundation Crack Causing Leakage Repaired in NW Calgary, AB
A homeowner in Northwest Calgary, Alberta contacted us in regards to a few foundation cracks that were located in the basement wall. Cracks in foundation walls are common in homes throughout Alberta and are usually a side effect of the natural curing process of concrete, however when they leak they can cause a lot of mess and headache. In search of the best solution to repair their foundation cracks and protect their home, this homeowner contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
