About 5 years ago, I fixed a crack that was leaking in my basement, and just last week I noticed that it was starting to leak again. How can that be?

Most “do it yourself” repair materials available to consumers are temporary fixes. Most people make the mistake of using a non-static material and they fill the crack and for a while it works, but because your basement is constantly shifting/settling the material you used also shifts, and cracks, and crumbles. We give people a lot of credit for trying to fix it themselves, but they actually make a more expensive repair 5 years later when we are called to “repair the repair”. Our highly trained technicians use specialized tools and materials only available to professional installers.
