Foundation Wall Crack Repair for Maryland and Washington DC

Seals, Strengthens, & Stabilizes

Floodbusters has seen some of the smallest cracks cause the largest problems in basement walls. Foundation wall cracks are typically caused by drying, shrinkage, or thermal movement and can cause major problems. Over time, even minor cracks can grow larger and cause a loss of structural integrity or, more commonly, water leakage.This is why Floodbusters always suggest homeowners in Maryland and Washington DC have their basements inspected. Floodbusters wants to take care of any problems before they get bigger.

Reduce Mold & Radon

Most basements eventually leak. Even if a wall
crack is not leaking now, eventually water will
find it. Any basement or crawl space that has water (moisture) will advance the growth of mold. Read more about Mold Issues.

Repair the Foundation First

The best and most cost effective strategy to
managing the growth of mold and mildew is
to prevent the intrusion of water and moisture
into the basement. First, repair the cracks, from there additional solutions can be generated as needed.

Radon, sealing the gaps.

Any home may have a radon problem. Minimize the entry of cancer causing radon gas into your home by sealing cracks in the foundation and along the basement walls.
