We've Been Fixing Long Island Foundations Right

Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing LLC has been handling foundation repairs throughout Nassau County for years. We understand how Long Island’s soil conditions and weather patterns affect your foundation differently than other areas.

We’re not the guys who show up and immediately tell you that you need a complete foundation replacement. We assess what’s actually wrong, explain what caused it, and fix it properly the first time.

Our team knows the difference between cosmetic settling cracks and serious structural issues. We’ll tell you which is which and why it matters for your specific situation.

Foundation Crack Injection Process

Here's How We Actually Fix Foundation Cracks

First, we inspect your foundation to determine what type of cracks you’re dealing with and what’s causing them. Not all foundation cracks are the same, and the repair method matters.

For structural cracks, we use professional crack injection techniques with polyurethane or epoxy materials that bond permanently with your concrete. These materials flex with your foundation’s natural movement instead of cracking apart.

We clean out the crack completely, inject the repair material under controlled pressure, and seal the surface. The repair cures to become stronger than the surrounding concrete. For basement wall cracks that leak, we also address the exterior water management to prevent future problems.

The whole process typically takes a few hours for most residential repairs, and you can see the results immediately.

What's Included in Professional Foundation Repair

You get a complete assessment of your foundation’s condition, not just a quick look at the obvious cracks. We identify what’s causing the problem and address both the symptoms and the source.

Our foundation crack repair includes professional-grade crack injection, surface sealing, and recommendations for preventing future issues. For basement wall cracks, we also evaluate your drainage and waterproofing needs.

We handle everything from hairline settling cracks to more serious structural repairs. Each repair comes with our warranty because we use materials and techniques that are designed to last. You also get straight answers about what to expect long-term and what maintenance, if any, your foundation will need.

How do I know if my foundation crack is serious?

Horizontal cracks, cracks wider than a quarter-inch, or cracks that are actively growing are typically more serious than hairline vertical cracks. However, any crack that’s letting water into your basement needs attention regardless of size. The location matters too – cracks near corners or where walls meet floors often indicate structural movement. If you can see daylight through a crack or if it’s accompanied by doors that won’t close properly, that’s a sign of foundation settlement that needs professional evaluation. The best approach is to have any crack assessed by someone who understands foundation behavior rather than guessing.

Will crack injection actually stop water from coming through my basement walls?

Yes, when done properly with the right materials. Professional crack injection uses polyurethane or epoxy that bonds permanently with concrete and creates a watertight seal. The key is using materials that remain flexible as your foundation experiences normal thermal expansion and contraction. Cheap DIY crack fillers often fail because they’re rigid and crack apart. However, if you have widespread water intrusion or poor exterior drainage, crack injection might be part of a larger waterproofing solution. We’ll assess your specific situation and let you know if additional work is needed to keep your basement dry long-term.

How long does foundation crack repair take and how disruptive is it?

Most residential foundation crack repairs take 2-4 hours depending on the number and size of cracks. The actual injection process is relatively quick – most of the time is spent on proper preparation and cleanup. You don’t need to leave your home, and there’s minimal disruption to your daily routine. The repair materials cure quickly, so you’ll see results immediately. For exterior work, we might need access to the area around your foundation, but we don’t typically need to excavate unless there are drainage issues to address. The process is much less invasive than most homeowners expect.

What causes foundation cracks in Long Island homes?

Long Island’s clay-heavy soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating pressure against foundation walls. This is especially common in homes built in the 1950s-1980s when foundation waterproofing wasn’t as advanced. Poor drainage around the foundation makes the problem worse by keeping soil saturated. Freeze-thaw cycles also contribute – water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and makes the cracks larger. Some settling cracks are normal in newer homes, but ongoing movement usually indicates drainage or soil issues that need attention. Understanding the cause helps determine the right repair approach and prevents future problems.

How much does professional foundation crack repair cost?

Foundation crack repair costs vary based on the crack size, location, and repair method needed. Simple crack injection for a few hairline cracks typically costs much less than repairs involving structural reinforcement or extensive waterproofing. Most homeowners find that professional repair costs significantly less than dealing with ongoing water damage, mold remediation, or major structural problems later. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation – no surprises or pressure tactics. The investment in proper repair typically pays for itself by protecting your home’s value and preventing more expensive problems down the road.

Should I try to fix foundation cracks myself first?

DIY crack repair products from hardware stores rarely provide permanent solutions because they don’t address what’s causing the crack or use materials designed for foundation movement. Most fail within a year or two, and you end up paying for professional repair anyway. Worse, some DIY approaches can actually make the problem harder to fix properly later. If you’re dealing with active water intrusion or cracks that are growing, the problem won’t get better on its own. Professional assessment costs little compared to the potential consequences of foundation problems, and you’ll get honest answers about what actually needs to be done versus what can wait.
