Active or passive cracks?
- Passive foundation cracks are often of small size and stabilize after a year or two (do not get bigger over time). Following their sealing with a polyurethane gel, we recommend that our customers let us install a waterproof membrane, that will allow the concrete to be protected from water pressure and infiltration.
- As for active cracks, they grow and affect the integrity of the concrete. The tend to develop when the house is built on clay soil. In the spring, with the melting of the snow, the ground moves and the foundation develops cracks if it is not deep enough or solidified by piles resting on the rock.
- If the active cracks are sealed adequately, they will not weaken the concrete of your foundation. The addition of a waterproof membrane with air cells protects the concrete and helps it withstand freezing. A backfill of granules can be added in order to replace the clay and promote water drainage.
- Active foundation cracks can be caused by water infiltration or swelling of the soil containing pyrite. Having a soil test done will inform you if the soil contains this mineral. If cracks develop over several years, it is often a sign that there is presence of pyrite.
