Question 1

What is a rod hole?

Accepted Answer

The poured concrete for your basement walls were constructed by connecting two forms by rods, usually around 5/8 inch in diameter. Once the concrete sets, the forms and rods are removed, leaving behind numerous small holes in the wall. These holes, commonly referred to as “rod” holes, are typically filled with a small amount of concrete patch during construction to prevent leaks. However, this patchwork is very limited and tends to leak after several years of weather.

Question 2

How do you fix a leaking basement crack?

Accepted Answer

We use a low-pressure polyurethane injection system. This fills the crack from the inside all the way to the outside soil, creating a flexible, permanent seal that stops water instantly.

Question 3

Do you offer a warranty on waterproofing repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our crack and rod hole repairs come with a lifetime transferable warranty. If it leaks again, we fix it for free, and this protection passes to the next homeowner.
