Con-Spec Industries

Upon tearing out my basement I discovered I had a few cracks in my foundation… mostly hairline and one that had a water stain.
I did some research and learned that Con-​Spec Industries carries all the products I would need to fix the problem myself. So off to the store I went.
The guys at the store are awesome. They take the time to talk to you about the problem and gave me a quick tutorial on how to use the system they sold to me.
The only downside is that you can sometimes have to wait to get help. Usually there is only one fellow working the counter so if he’s helping someone else out, you get to wait. You may have someone else come out of the office or back to help out, but don’t count on it.
I only injected the cracks from the inside for now, but I’ll be heading back to Con-​Spec once I trench the outside to play with that side of the foundation.

How am I the first person to review these guys??? Granted, I didn’t know aobut them until I was talking with a guy who is a real home-​DIYer.
After the big winter melt brought on by the early hot weather, we discovered a pool of water in our basement — thanks to a thin but long crack in the foundation. I’ve heard horror stories of getting foundation work done and how much it can end up costing, so I talked to a couple of people about it and the both recommended Con-​spec, saying that I could do the work myself. At this, I laughed! I’m not the most handy type of guy, and the thought of doing this kind of work frightened me, but I was assured that Con-​Spec could help out.
I went to their store on Argyll and explained my situation. The helpful dude working there let me finish and then ask very specific details about the work I had to do. He then went over a couple of options and told me which one was probably the best. He then demonstrated the solution he offered (glue and seal some plugs along the crack, then come back and pick up the gun to inject the sealant) and assured me it was pretty easy… and he was right. I was able to pull off the project with just a few hours work over the course of a couple of evenings — and who knows how much money I saved by doing it myself??? Granted, it will take a heck of a rain storm to put my fix to the test, but it looks like it worked great (and with the grading I did outside) we should be able to weather the next bout of storms (fingers crossed).
The only downside it Con-​Spec is their hours — they aren’t open late and not at all on weekends, so if you work regular hours, you’ll have to juggle things to get there while they are open.
