Photo Album: Crack in the Foundation Wall, Merrimack, NH
A homeowner in Merrimack, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 21 years. About a year ago, the homeowner noticed a crack in their foundation wall stemming off of their egress window. Over the past year, they have seen the crack get worse and worse but haven't seen any signs of water coming out of the cracks yet. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection and our design specialist recommended using FlexiSpan to seal the cracks in their foundation wall.
Our production team began by covering the cracks with a membrane that won't allow water to come through the crack into the basement. After the membrane were installed over the cracks the team began chipping out a small section of concrete to create a drain where water will travel through if the cracks ever started to leak. The team also installed a Crack Monitor to observe the crack to make sure it wasn't getting worse.
