Foundation Crack Repair Kamloops

Protect Your Home from Leaks and Structural Damage

A small crack in your foundation might not look like much — until it starts leaking, widening, or letting moisture creep into your basement. Over time, that single crack can lead to mold, structural shifting, and expensive water damage.

At Plumbers Kamloops, we specialize in professional foundation crack repair and waterproofing solutions that protect homes across Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola region. Whether it’s a hairline crack or a major structural fracture, we find the source, stop the water, and restore your foundation’s integrity — fast, cleanly, and permanently.

Why Foundation Cracks Form

Kamloops’ unique climate — dry summers, freeze-thaw winters, and shifting clay soils — creates the perfect environment for foundation movement. As the ground expands and contracts, pressure builds around your foundation walls, often causing cracks to appear.

Common causes include:

• Freeze and thaw cycles pushing moisture into concrete pores

• Poor drainage around your home

• Hydrostatic pressure from groundwater buildup

• Settling or shifting soil beneath the structure

• Improper concrete curing during construction

Not every crack means catastrophe, but ignoring them can allow water intrusion, leading to basement dampness, mildew, and eventual structural weakening.

Our Foundation Crack Repair Process

We approach every repair like it’s our own home — thorough, methodical, and built to last.

1. Inspection & Diagnosis
Our experts start with a full visual and moisture inspection, using advanced tools to pinpoint the exact source of the leak or structural weakness. We identify whether it’s a surface crack, structural split, or symptom of drainage failure.

2. Preparation & Cleaning
We clean out the damaged area to remove debris, dust, or efflorescence (white mineral deposits). Proper preparation ensures strong adhesion and effective sealing.

3. Crack Injection or Patching
Depending on the type and severity of the crack, we use either:

• Epoxy injection, which bonds concrete back together for structural strength; or

• Polyurethane injection, a flexible seal that expands to fill gaps and prevent future leaks.

Both methods are professional-grade, long-lasting, and suitable for both wet and dry environments.

4. Waterproofing & Drainage Improvements
We don’t just seal the crack — we stop the cause. Our technicians inspect surrounding drainage, sump pump function, and grading to ensure your foundation stays dry year-round.

5. Testing & Finishing
Before we call it complete, we test for moisture penetration and apply a protective finish. You’ll receive a detailed report of what was repaired and how to maintain it.

Signs You Might Need Foundation Crack Repair

You don’t have to wait for a flood to act. Look out for these early warning signs:

• Damp or musty smells in the basement

• Visible cracks on foundation walls or floors

• Peeling paint or white powdery residue (efflorescence)

• Water stains, rust marks, or bubbling drywall

• Uneven flooring or sticking doors/windows

• Cracks wider than 1/16 inch or growing over time

If you notice any of these, don’t wait for spring runoff — call Plumbers Kamloops. We’ll inspect the issue and provide straightforward recommendations, not scare tactics.

Interior vs. Exterior Foundation Repair

Every home is different, and so is every crack. That’s why we offer both interior and exterior repair methods:

• Interior Crack Repair – Ideal for accessible basement cracks and minor leaks. We seal from inside using epoxy or polyurethane injections — fast, clean, and non-invasive.

• Exterior Foundation Repair – Recommended when water infiltration comes from outside pressure or poor grading. We excavate the area, seal the wall with waterproof membranes, and install or repair weeping tile systems if needed.

Our goal: Fix the root cause, not just the symptom.

Preventive Tips from Our Team

To avoid foundation cracking and moisture issues in the future:

• Keep gutters clean and downspouts extended 6 feet from your foundation.

• Ensure proper yard grading to divert water away.

• Check basement humidity regularly — keep it between 40–50%.

• Test your sump pump every season.

• Schedule annual plumbing and drainage inspections.

A few simple habits can extend the life of your foundation by decades.
