Seasonal Water Problems
Basement Leaks After Rain
If your basement gets wet every time it rains heavily or snow melts, there's a specific cause — and a permanent fix.
Why Does My Basement Leak When It Rains?
Rain-triggered basement leaks are usually caused by one of two things: hydrostatic pressure forcing water through cracks, or surface drainage directing water toward your foundation rather than away from it.
In Edmonton, spring thaw is the most common trigger — saturated soil surrounding the foundation creates enormous pressure that pushes water through any available crack or gap.
Common Causes
- • Cracks in poured concrete walls
- • Negative grading (slopes toward house)
- • Blocked or overwhelmed weeping tile
- • Sump pump failure
- • Window well drainage issues
What We Do
- • Identify the exact entry point
- • Seal cracks with interior injection
- • Assess drainage and sump capacity
- • Recommend grading corrections if needed
- • Provide lifetime warranty on repairs

"Had four quotes and Crack Stop was by far the best deal considering the materials, warranty and the knowledge of my foundation. The work was started in less than week and took one day to complete. You'd be crazy to go with anyone else in my opinion."
