Greenserve offers professional foundation crack repair services across the Greater Charlotte area. While most common in basements and crawl spaces, foundation cracks can appear in a number of areas within a home. Our team can help you fix cracks of any size and leaking joints before they turn into a bigger problem. We evaluate the cracks in your foundation, then recommend solutions tailored to your home.
When Do Foundation Cracks Need Repair?
Every foundation crack should have a professional inspection to determine its severity, especially if you’re noticing other signs of trouble. The longer they’re left alone, the more damage they can cause and the more expensive they are to fix. Severe foundation cracks may even require structural repair.
If you’re unsure whether a crack in the foundation is serious, Greenserve offers free evaluations to help you understand what’s going on. It’s usually a good time to call when:
- You see cracks that are widening, spreading, or changing over time
- Water is seeping through a crack when it rains
- You notice musty odors or visible mold near the crack
- The floors above the basement or crawl space feel uneven, bouncy, or start to squeak
Crack Repair Systems
We carry a variety of crawl space repair systems and will determine which is best for the type of crack during an evaluation.
FlexiShield
Crack repair system designed to flex with the foundation and move water from a leaking wall crack below the slab. It consists of a strip of the FlexShield drainage matting and textured urethane sealant and flexes with the foundation as it shifts during seasonal changes. FlexiShield comes with a 5-year warranty and it can be painted.
HD FinishShield
A 16mil, Class A (Fire Rated) wall vapor barrier recommended as a durable wall covering. It’s perfect for basement walls where a customer may not finish right away but would like the protection against moisture, mold, mildew, humidity, and potential wall leaks. The measured average permeance of FinishShield is 0.015 perm.
ThermalShield
A 90mil, Class A (Fire Rated) foil faced and true white poly wall vapor barrier. It’s the wall vapor barrier of choice for adding additional installation reflecting indoor heat back into the basement space.
