Cracks with previous repairs: Addressing the Question

Q: Can you repair cracks that have already been repaired?

A: Absolutely! We can effectively repair previously patched cracks. Our process includes thorough cleaning of the existing crack to remove any dirt, debris, or loose material that could compromise the new repair.

Before we begin, it’s important to consider the warranty:

Do you have documentation for the previous repair company?

Many repairs come with warranties. Checking the paperwork might save you money if the initial repair is still covered.

Was Suburban Basement the company that performed the original repair?

If so, please contact us here or call us directly at 586-465-5500. We’d be happy to look into your warranty options and discuss next steps.

Even if the previous repair wasn’t covered by warranty or by Suburban Basement, we can provide a long-lasting solution for your leaking crack.

Interior Versus Exterior Repairs: Considerations

Both Interior And Exterior Foundation Crack Repairs Are Effective, Here Is What To Consider: Time And Cost

In Many Cases, The Expense Of Removing Drywall, Receiving A Professional Crack Repair, And Drywall Replacement Is More Economical Than Opting For Exterior Solutions.
Most Often Our Professional Technicians Can Repair Your Basement Wall Crack From Inside Your Basement – Saving You The Hassle And Extra Expense Of Exterior Excavation And Landscaping Disruption.
Of Course, If Exterior Repairs Are Your Preference, Our Expertise Allows Us To Provide A Comprehensive Evaluation And Estimate For Your Repairs.
