A crack in your foundation wall isn't automatically an emergency, but it's never something to paint over and hope for the best — we classify it correctly before recommending anything.
Call +1-866-476-1348
Four commitments that separate a properly trained foundation crack repair crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
Classification includes checking for horizontal displacement and correlating findings with door or window frame misalignment throughout the home.
Trucks carry both epoxy and polyurethane injection systems so the crew can match resin to crack type on the first visit.
No hourly billing surprises — if a crack turns out more complex once opened, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Epoxy, which cures rigid and restores bond strength, is reserved for stable, non-water cracks needing structural repair.
Each service below is scoped specifically to foundation crack repair, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
For cracks actively passing water, polyurethane resin is pumped in under pressure, expanding to fill the crack's full depth including hairline branches a surface patch would miss.
Reserved for confirmed non-active cracks — injecting epoxy into a still-moving crack just cracks the epoxy itself.
We document displacement with photos and measurements, referring to a structural engineer when warranted before recommending reinforcement.
For walls showing early bowing alongside cracking, carbon fiber straps or steel anchors can arrest further movement without full wall replacement.
We evaluate downspout extensions, soil slope, and window well drainage as part of a complete repair.
Here's what happens between your call and a resolved foundation crack.
Active water intrusion is flagged for priority scheduling.
Trucks carry both polyurethane and epoxy systems, plus a crack width gauge for precise classification on site.
Pricing is quoted per linear foot in writing before injection begins.
If a crack needs engineering review instead of injection, we'll say so plainly rather than injecting a crack that shouldn't be.
