Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Concrete Cracks in Farmington, ME
Here's another great example of some scary cracks in a space in Farmington, ME. You can see a large, significant crack in the foundation wall here, as well as multiple cracks spreading across the floor. The homeowners have also expressed a concern with leaks and moisture in the space when it rains. With the added pressure from raised fill on the other side of this wall, it's no wonder why this wall is beginning to fail. Without the proper treatment, over time this wall will continue to spread cracks, bow, tilt, and eventually fail. After inspecting this space, our team decided to install a complete waterproofing system, as well as a new slab.
