While it may be tempting to apply DIY repairs, they will be ineffective. Without the right equipment and experience, you cannot properly fix the cracks.
The Danger of Filling Alone
The least you can do is fill them. While this will cover the aesthetic damage, it won’t prevent the cracks from expanding over time. It will also not prevent water from finding other ways into your basement through the damaged floor or even crack the putty itself.
After that, putting up a crack will not take care of structural damage, prevent that crack from escalating, or fix the original problem. That will only result in more costly repairs in the future, not to mention present a risk to your family’s health and safety.
Crack Repair
Repairing a crack in your basement floor isn’t just merely filling it; it is ensuring that you eliminate the core problem. A professional will take the time to thoroughly inspect the home to find the cause of the issue, then apply repairs, replace damaged structures, and install the right solutions. Innovative Basement Authority’s work also comes with a guarantee, so you can be sure the fixes are designed to last.
This process could mean installing a corrective system for your floors or walls, waterproofing your basement, or putting foundation stabilizers in place. These procedures cannot be undertaken by yourself, or by an untrained professional.
