WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
WHAT TO DO ABOUT A CRACK IN YOUR FOUNDATION?
Do you see an exterior foundation crack?
If you notice a crack on the exterior wall of your foundation, act quickly.
Start by inspecting the inside of your home for signs of moisture, stains, efflorescence or mold, which may indicate water infiltration. Next, assess the exterior crack by noting its width, its shape (vertical, horizontal or stair-step) and its location. Take a few clear photos to track its progression and help with the diagnosis.
Finally, contact Solex for a FREE inspection: our experts will analyze the situation in detail and recommend the best repair solution to protect your foundation for the long term.
INTERIOR FOUNDATION CRACK
What if the crack is
inside?
Some cracks are only visible from inside the basement.
When exterior access is limited or a quick fix is needed, Solex offers interior repair by polyurethane injection, an effective solution to seal the crack and stop water infiltration without excavation.
During your FREE inspection, our experts will assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate method to ensure the durability of your foundation.

A LASTING SOLUTION TO PROTECT YOUR FOUNDATION
The benefits of exterior crack repair
Exterior crack repair is the most effective and durable way to protect your foundation. By addressing the problem at its source, it fully seals the crack and prevents any future water infiltration. This approach stops moisture before it reaches the wall, preventing mold, stains and damage inside the basement. It also strengthens the foundation through waterproofing membranes and high-performance drainage systems, ensuring long-term protection. Beyond extending the life of your home, exterior repair gives you peace of mind and helps maintain your property’s value.

EXPERT ANSWERS TO YOUR CONCERNS
Your most frequently asked questions about foundation repair
A serious crack is generally wider than 3 mm, stair-stepped in masonry, horizontal, or accompanied by wall movement. When in doubt, it is best to consult one of our qualified professionals.
Yes. Even a hairline crack can let water through, especially during heavy rain or snowmelt.
• Soil movement (freeze/thaw, clay that swells and shrinks)
• Poor drainage around the house
• Concrete shrinkage as it cures
• Heavy loads on the structure
• Ground settlement
Not necessarily. Some surface cracks have no impact. But as soon as there is infiltration, widening or a structural risk, a repair is recommended.
The price depends on the technique and severity: generally between $500 and $2,500 per crack, but an accurate quote is always required.
• Shrinkage crack: thin, vertical, caused by concrete curing, low risk.
• Structural crack: wider, often horizontal or stair-stepped, and can compromise the stability of the building.
Minor surface patching can be done yourself, but lasting repairs (injections, membranes, drains) require specialists.
Work can be done almost all year, but spring and summer are ideal because the soil is more stable and dry.
• Epoxy injection (structural)
• Polyurethane injection (waterproofing)
• Exterior membrane (long-term protection)
• French drain (if there is a drainage problem)
Yes. Visible or unrepaired cracks can discourage buyers and lower resale value.
Generally, no. Foundation cracks are often considered normal wear and tear. Only certain exceptional cases (covered losses) may be eligible.
• Ensure good drainage (gutters, yard slope)
• Keep water from pooling near the house
• Maintain your French drain
• Plant trees and shrubs away from the foundation
Yes. Soil movement and water infiltration can widen a crack and make the problem worse.
Yes. An exterior crack can extend to the inside. Regularly checking your basement walls helps detect signs of infiltration or movement.
