Signs to keep an eye out for

When to call us for foundation leak cleanup

Before we get to work, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water runs down one narrow vertical line on the wall

Once we are on the job site, a single running stream means a discrete defect, not general seepage.

The crack is wider at the top than at the bottom

Once we are on the job site, a crack that tapers as a rule indicates settlement, where part of the footing has moved. To straighten this out, that is a different conversation from a hairline shrinkage crack in new concrete.

There is a horizontal crack across the middle of the wall

Once we are on the job site, horizontal cracking in a poured concrete wall or a concrete block wall means lateral soil pressure, not curing.

Cracking runs in a stair step pattern through the mortar joints

To straighten this out, stair step cracking follows the weakest path in a block wall and points at differential movement.

Two small round wet spots sit in a straight line across the wall

Before we get to work, those are tie rod holes left by the form ties used when the wall was poured.

A rough pitted patch of concrete is dripping

Before we get to work, honeycombing is a void left where the concrete did not consolidate around the aggregate during the pour.

What happens

How we take on foundation leak cleanup

Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Locating the actual entry defect, not just the wet area

To straighten this out, we trace the water back up the wall to where it comes through.

The crack type described in plain words

To straighten this out, we tell you whether you are looking at a shrinkage crack, a settlement crack or a horizontal crack.

The structural referral, made honestly

Before we get to work, if the wall is bowing, the crack is horizontal, one side is offset, or it is still moving, a structural engineer looks before anyone injects anything.

Opening the finished wall over the leak

In plain words, drywall, framing and any vapor barrier over the crack come off far enough to see and dry the concrete.

Water removal and drying of the wall assembly

To straighten this out, air movers work along the bottom plate and the exposed concrete while an Professional dehumidifier carries the load.

Insulation and bottom plate decisions

Once we are on the job site, wet fiberglass in a below grade stud wall stays wet and compacted, so it as a rule comes out.

What to expect

What to expect from our hands-on restoration team

Here is how we as a rule handle foundation leak cleanup near Missouri.

1
You call and describe where the water is running

Before we get to work, we ask which wall, how high the wet line goes, and whether it is running or weeping. Before we get to work, those answers let us know whether to bring wall opening tools.
Your call
2
Photograph it while it is still active

Before we get to work, take pictures of the water actually coming through, from a dry position.
+10 minutes
3
The entry point is traced before anything is dried

In plain words, we follow the water up the wall to the defect and identify what kind of defect it is.
On arrival
4
The crack is measured, marked and described plainly

In plain words, width, direction, taper and any offset get recorded with a date.
First hour on site
5
Water removed and the finished wall opened at the leak

Once we are on the job site, water left standing comes off the floor and we open the finish only as far as readings justify.
Same day
6
Wet insulation out and the assembly set up to dry

In plain words, saturated batts and any trapped vapor barrier come out, then air movers and dehumidification go in.
Same day
7
Daily readings against a dry reference area

Once we are on the job site, concrete, framing and the plate are read every visit and compared to unaffected material in the same building.
Day 2 to 6

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Water removal and drying at a single foundation crack, unfinished wall	National price breakdown for cleanup plus three to five days of drying on exposed concrete.	$600 to $2,000
Foundation leak into a finished basement wall, finishes opened and dried	National price breakdown including opening, wet insulation removal, disposal and drying. Rebuild is separate.	$2,500 to $8,000
Foundation leak drying priced by affected area, clean water	National price breakdown used when the wet area is measured rather than counted by room.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Polyurethane injection into a leaking crack by a repair contractor, per crack	National price breakdown. The usual repair for a non structural crack that leaks. Not our work.	$350 to $900
Epoxy injection where the crack is being structurally rebonded, per crack	National price breakdown. Specified by an engineer or a repair contractor, not chosen by preference.	$500 to $1,500
Tie rod hole sealing, per hole	National price breakdown. Frequently a few on one wall, and cheap to handle while a contractor is already there.	$50 to $200
Structural engineer inspection and written opinion	National price breakdown. The right first call whenever a crack is horizontal, offset or growing.	$300 to $800
Carbon fiber strap or steel bracing for a bowing wall, per unit installed	National price breakdown per strap or beam, spaced along the wall as an engineer specifies.	$400 to $1,000

How long water has been coming through the crack
A crack that started leaking last week is a drying job. A crack that has leaked for years as a rule means rotted plate, ruined insulation and stained finishes.
Finished or unfinished wall
In plain words, bare concrete is straightforward to dry.
How many defects there are
One crack is one repair. A wall with a few tie rod holes and a cold joint has a few separate entry points to seal.
What type of crack it turns out to be
Before we get to work, a vertical shrinkage crack is routine injection work. In plain words, a horizontal or bowing condition adds an engineer, and potentially bracing, to the project.
Whether wood has actually rotted
Once we are on the job site, drying is priced by equipment days.
Access along the wall
To straighten this out, shelving, mechanical equipment, storage and finished built ins all have to move before the wall can be opened or dried.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The bottom plate and studs rot from the bottom up

In plain words, framing sitting against a wet foundation wall stays wet at the base long after the room feels normal.

Every rain widens the path

Once we are on the job site, water moving through a crack carries fines out with it and freeze and thaw cycles pry it open further.

Soil washes out behind the wall

Before we get to work, water entering through a defect has to travel through the backfill first, and it takes soil with it.

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours in a closed wall cavity

In plain words, a finished wall against a leaking foundation is dark, cool and unventilated.

Helpful service information

What to know about foundation leak cleanup

In plain words, start with the short explanation. Once we are on the job site, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As a poured concrete wall cures it shrinks slightly, which produces narrow vertical shrinkage cracks in a very high share of homes.

Read the explanation

Concrete cracks, and most of the time that is uneventful. As a poured concrete wall cures it shrinks slightly, which produces narrow vertical shrinkage cracks in a very high share of homes.

How the next step is decided

In plain words, form ties, sometimes called snap ties, hold the two form faces at the right spacing while the concrete is placed.

Read the explanation

Before we get to work, poured walls have manufactured openings that people never notice until they leak. In plain words, form ties, sometimes called snap ties, hold the two form faces at the right spacing while the concrete is placed.

What may change the work

Before we get to work, water running down bare concrete evaporates and mostly annoys you.

Read the explanation

In plain words, the damage from a wall leak lives in what is attached to the wall. Before we get to work, water running down bare concrete evaporates and mostly annoys you.

Common questions

Questions about foundation leak cleanup

What causes a foundation crack to leak?

To straighten this out, water in the backfill soil finds any opening in the wall and follows it inward.

Is a cracked foundation dangerous?

Before we get to work, most cracks are not. Once we are on the job site, narrow vertical shrinkage cracks are extremely common in poured concrete and are a leak issue rather than a safety issue.

What is a horizontal crack and why does everyone worry about it?

Once we are on the job site, it is a crack running side to side across the wall, as a rule near the middle height.

What are the round holes leaking in my poured wall?

In plain words, tie rod holes, left where the form ties held the concrete forms apart during the pour.

Do you repair the crack?

Before we get to work, no, and we will point you to who does. Once we are on the job site, we locate the defect, dry the damage, document everything and coordinate the sequence.

What is crack injection and does it last?

Before we get to work, a contractor drills ports along the crack and injects material that fills it through the full wall thickness.

Epoxy or polyurethane, which one do I want?

Before we get to work, polyurethane expands and stays flexible, so it is the usual choice for stopping water in a crack that may move slightly.
