Visible Crack Condition
Location, direction, opening and visible changes around the crack help determine whether a localized repair approach is appropriate.

Foundation crack repair, sealing & water protection.
Ground Guard Solutions handles localized foundation crack repair, crack sealing, waterproofing and related protection for suitable GTA properties. We evaluate the visible condition, water-entry signs and access before deciding whether a focused repair, waterproofing work or a broader drainage solution makes sense.
What we evaluate
A crack is a symptom. The repair starts with understanding the condition around it.
Foundation cracks can behave differently. Some are localized water-entry points, while others may show movement that should not be treated as a simple sealing job. Ground Guard keeps the scope focused on what can be reasonably assessed and repaired within company capability.
Water-Entry Signs
Dampness, seepage or staining near a crack can indicate that sealing should be coordinated with waterproofing or drainage protection.
Exterior Access
Fences, decks, walkways, landscaping and narrow side yards affect whether the foundation can be exposed by machine or needs controlled hand excavation.
Repair Boundary
When significant structural movement is suspected, an appropriate qualified professional may be needed before a repair scope is chosen.
Foundation services
Localized repair with protection around the repaired area.
Foundation Crack Repair
Localized repair for suitable cracks based on the visible condition, access and the surrounding foundation area.
Request this service →Crack Sealing
Seal likely water-entry paths and coordinate the repaired area with waterproofing protection where appropriate.

Exterior Foundation Protection
Where exterior access is available, localized repair can be paired with foundation waterproofing and related drainage components.

Waterproofing Coordination
If the crack is part of a broader basement water problem, the repair can be evaluated alongside exterior or interior waterproofing options.
Request this service →Water + foundation
Repairing a crack and managing water are related—but not always the same job.
A crack can be the point where water becomes visible without being the only reason water is reaching the wall. Where the property also has foundation drainage or basement-water issues, the repair may need to work alongside waterproofing, weeping tile or a sump-pump system.

Expose the repair area carefully when machinery cannot fit.
Foundation cracks are often located beside fences, decks, walkways, neighboring structures or narrow lot lines. For suitable exterior repair scopes, Ground Guard can excavate carefully by hand where tighter access control is needed.

Common project questions
Do you repair foundation cracks?
Ground Guard handles localized foundation crack repair, crack sealing and protection within verified project capability. The visible condition, water-entry signs and access still need to be evaluated before choosing a repair approach.
Can a foundation crack be repaired from outside?
For suitable conditions, exterior access can allow the affected foundation area to be exposed, prepared, repaired and protected. The exact approach depends on the crack, surrounding wall condition and site access.
What if the crack looks structural?
Significant structural movement should not be treated as a simple crack-sealing problem. An appropriate qualified professional may be needed before a repair scope is selected.
Can you hand dig to expose a foundation crack?
Yes, where appropriate. Hand excavation can be useful around tight lot lines, fences, decks, walkways, landscaping and other areas where ordinary excavator access is limited.
Can crack repair be combined with waterproofing?
Yes. If the crack is also a water-entry point, localized repair can be coordinated with exterior waterproofing, drainage components or another suitable water-management approach.
Can I request a free evaluation for a foundation crack?
Yes. Tell Ground Guard where the crack is, whether water is present, the property location and what access is like, then request a free evaluation so the next step can be discussed.
