Foundation Waterproofing Saskatoon

            Foundation repair is a major home improvement project. In most cases, it requires the help of an excavating company to get the job done right and stabilize the foundation. But what exactly can we do? And what services do we offer?

          The foundation is the most critical part of a building as it supports the entire structure and ensures its stability. Any problems with the foundation can lead to severe structural damage and compromise the safety of the building's inhabitants. Your basement is essential if you want to keep the moisture and dirt away from your valuable possessions. 

​Assessing The Damage To The Foundation

        At Saskatoon Excavating, we assess your foundation present and potential issues to better solve the problems by strengthening your existing foundation. Could the damage be the result of a lack of field drain on your property? Caused by too much snow accumulation in the over the winter? Or tree roots growing too close to the foundation? Is the grading proper on your land?
​
​          Foundation repair, sealing, waterproofing, can solve all of your basement  problems, large or small. Whether you have water coming through your basement walls, floors, cracks, doorways or windows we have a reliable, effective solution. With many years of basement waterproofing experience, Saskatoon Excavating are your 1# choice for all of your waterproofing needs. Quality is Our Brand. Foundation cracks can be repaired by injecting epoxy or urethane into the crack. This will fill the void and stop water from leaking through. Before getting there, we will do the digging with the right equipment and make it easy for you. 
From digging new footings to preparing ground surfaces,

          We may suggest a plan of action after preparing grounds surfaces that include reinforcing or replacing parts of the foundation, digging new footings, adjust certain areas such as beams or columns if they are found to be inadequate. This could include adding steel reinforcements, concrete supports or whatever is necessary to ensure the new foundation is strong enough to support its load. Installing a new drain system can alleviate the water stress in the spring, we can help you with this as well so the repairs.

          Foundation cracks have a different source, including house foundation settling or shifting, water damage, and tree root growth. Cracks in your foundation create space and allow water to enter your basement, leading to mold growth and wood rot. Foundation cracks can also create trip hazards and cause doors and windows not to open or close properly. The earlier we fix the issue, the lesser the cost will be!


          We use the latest technology and equipment to ensure a flawless finish, leaving your house untouched. With our team of professionals by your side, you can rest assured that everything will be taken care of quickly and efficiently.

Type of Foundation Crack

          Vertical and diagonal cracks are usually due to settling of the foundation or construction tension. These types of foundation cracks are common and not cause for worry. Horizontal cracks, however, can be indicative of soil pressure and should be looked into further. Stair step cracking is also a sign of poor construction practices.

Common Problems with Foundations

          As stated earlier,  one of the most common issues is drainage, which can cause water to pool around the foundation and weaken its structure. If not addressed in time, this can lead to cracked walls, damaged electrical systems, and mold growth. Drainage solutions such as French drains, downspouts, or sump pumps to ensure that water doesn't remain pooled around the foundation can be installed.

          Another issue that should be monitored is soil movement or shifting. This happens when there isn't enough support for the foundation and it begins to sink into the ground. This can cause significant damage to walls and floors, as well as create gaps between window frames or doors that won't close properly.

Preventative Maintenance To Avoid Foundation Damage

          Preventative maintenance is an essential part of avoiding foundation damage. Watch for nearby trees and their roots. Observe the water level if there is any pool lasting for a long period of time. Taking preventative action now is always preferable to waiting until you have a problem with your foundation.

          It's worth taking some time now to make sure that your home’s foundation stays strong and healthy for years to come.

How Much Does Foundation Repair Typically Cost?

          Foundation repair is an important part of many home maintenance and renovation projects, but it can be expensive. It's important to understand the typical costs associated with foundation repair before committing to a project. Depending on the severity of the damage and the size of the area that needs repair, costs can vary significantly.

          It's common for foundation repairs to cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to upwards of $15,000 or more. The cost depends on how much work is needed, whether it's related to draining issues or structural damages, and what materials are necessary for the job. If there's extensive damage and multiple areas need repairs, then the overall cost could be even higher. It's usually best to get an estimate from a professional excavating company before beginning any project. Call Us to know the extent of your damage and to assess your foundation repairs.
