What "specialized" actually means for foundation crack repair at our company — not a marketing word, a set of specific practices.
We don't inject resin into a crack that's still actively widening — that's a band-aid, not a fix, and we'll tell you so directly.
Non-emergency crack evaluations are typically scheduled within a few days.
Quotes are priced per linear foot of crack and resin type, given in writing before any injection begins.
Polyurethane resin, which stays flexible and expands to fill voids, is used for active leaks and cracks subject to seasonal movement.
Each service below is scoped specifically to foundation crack repair, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
Because it cures flexible, it accommodates the minor seasonal expansion and contraction that concrete foundations naturally undergo without re-cracking at the same point.
Where a crack is stable but a structural engineer or our own assessment calls for restoring load-bearing strength, epoxy resin creates a rigid bond that's often stronger than the surrounding concrete.
Stair-step cracking in block or brick foundation walls typically signals soil pressure or settlement issues beyond what injection alone resolves.
This is a specialized repair beyond simple crack injection, and we walk you through the engineering rationale before recommending it.
Some cracks are fed by poor exterior grading directing water straight at the foundation — injecting the crack without correcting the grading just delays the next one.
Four steps, start to finish — from the first call to a properly classified and injected crack.
Photos texted ahead of the visit help the technician arrive with a working hypothesis on crack classification.
