MONITOR THE CRACKS

Here is a list of warning signs that signal foundation problems:

         Sloped or uneven floors

         Cracks in interior or exterior brickwork

         Cracked corner moldings and gaps spread out in the ceiling moldings

         Wall rotation that causes cracked paint panels or large cracks on the side of the building

         Cracks in interior walls

         Cracks in tile, flooring and foundations

         Doors and windows that do not open or close properly

         Gaps between window frames

         A gap between the wall and the ceiling

These problems, if not addressed quickly, can lead to major damage to the structure of your property. Our certified professionals use polyurethane injections to seal the cracks for a long-lasting repair. We can also carry out your foundation's waterproofing work.

THE ADVANTAGES OF POLYURETHANE INJECTIONS

         Flexible - polyurethane allows concrete to move naturally with respect to thermal expansion and contraction.

         Waterproof - it is an excellent material for repairing wet or leaking cracks.

         Supple - it expands more than 20 times its original volume.
