Why do foundation cracks appear?
- Foundation cracks generally form at the end of winter when the ground thaws and heavy rainfall increases water pressure against the concrete. Without a waterproof membrane protecting it, the concrete can unfortunately crack, allowing water to seep through the cracks and into the building’s basement.
- A simple crack repair can prevent a crack from worsening and make the concrete watertight again. It is also possible to reinforce the concrete with steel anchors. In addition, installing a waterproof membrane (DELTA-MS type) is strongly recommended to achieve complete waterproofing and long-term peace of mind!

Active and passive foundation cracks
Active foundation cracks are cracks that continue to grow over time. They are generally caused by the absence of a French drain, a defective French drain, soil movement caused by frost heaving or soil settlement. It is important to repair these types of cracks quickly to prevent water infiltration and concrete damage.
Passive foundation cracks (which no longer expand after 1 year) must also be repaired, even though they are generally less harmful to your foundation concrete, since they still weaken the structure.
It is also important to note that over time, all types of cracks may lead to water infiltration. In addition to worsening weak areas in the concrete, humidity levels can become problematic. This type of environment promotes the growth of mold, fungi and bacteria. Human and animal health can therefore be at risk over the long term.
Why you should act quickly when you notice a foundation crack
Whether residential or commercial, foundations must remain in good condition to properly support and distribute the building’s weight. One of the main causes of weakened foundation concrete is water infiltration through cracks. By repairing these cracks promptly, you can prevent the concrete from deteriorating and avoid high humidity levels in your basement, which can lead to mold growth.
We recommend repairing visible foundation cracks quickly to prevent water from entering and worsening the damage during freeze-thaw cycles. An unrepaired crack represents a significant risk of water infiltration and concrete weakening.
