Foundation Crack Repair Process

How We Fix Your Foundation Right

First, we inspect your foundation to identify the real problem. Not every crack needs the same solution, and we’re not going to oversell you on work that isn’t necessary.

For most foundation cracks, we use professional-grade crack injection. This involves cleaning out the crack, inserting injection ports, and filling the crack with polyurethane or epoxy that bonds permanently with your concrete. The material expands slightly as it cures, creating a watertight seal that’s actually stronger than the surrounding foundation.

If your foundation needs structural reinforcement, we’ll explain exactly what that involves and why it’s necessary. We handle everything from minor cosmetic repairs to serious structural integrity work, always focusing on permanent solutions rather than quick fixes.

What's Included in Your Foundation Repair

Every foundation repair starts with a thorough assessment of your specific situation. We examine the crack patterns, check for water intrusion, and determine whether you’re dealing with settling, hydrostatic pressure, or structural issues.

Our crack injection work uses commercial-grade materials that are designed to last. We clean and prepare each crack properly, install injection ports at the correct intervals, and fill from bottom to top to ensure complete coverage. For basement wall cracks, we often combine injection with exterior waterproofing to address the root cause of water intrusion.

When structural integrity is compromised, we provide reinforcement solutions that restore your foundation’s load-bearing capacity. This might involve carbon fiber strips, steel reinforcement, or underpinning work depending on what your foundation actually needs.

How long does foundation crack injection take to cure completely?

Most crack injection materials cure within 24-48 hours, but you’ll see immediate water stopping as soon as we complete the injection. Polyurethane injections typically cure faster than epoxy, usually within 24 hours. The injection creates an immediate seal, so you don’t have to worry about water intrusion while it’s curing. We recommend avoiding heavy water exposure for the first 24 hours just to be safe, but normal basement humidity and minor moisture won’t affect the curing process.

Will foundation crack repair affect my home's resale value?

Properly repaired foundation cracks actually protect and can improve your home’s value. Unrepaired foundation issues are major red flags for buyers and will definitely hurt your resale value. When foundation repairs are done correctly with quality materials, they demonstrate that you’ve maintained your home’s structural integrity. We provide documentation of all repair work, which gives future buyers confidence that the issues were addressed professionally. Foundation problems that are ignored get worse over time and become much more expensive to fix later.

How do I know if my foundation crack needs injection or more extensive repair?

The width, location, and pattern of cracks tell us what type of repair is needed. Hairline cracks under 1/8 inch that aren’t actively leaking often just need injection. Wider cracks, horizontal cracks, or cracks that keep growing usually indicate structural issues that need reinforcement along with injection. Stair-step cracks in block foundations and cracks with significant water intrusion typically require more comprehensive waterproofing work. During our assessment, we measure crack width, check for movement, and look for signs of ongoing settlement or pressure issues.

What causes foundation cracks to form in Long Island homes?

Long Island’s soil conditions create specific challenges for foundations. Clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, putting pressure on foundation walls. Hydrostatic pressure from groundwater pushes against foundations, especially during heavy rains or snow melt. Normal settling also causes minor cracks as homes age. Poor drainage around the foundation makes these problems worse by keeping soil saturated longer. Some cracks are cosmetic from normal curing of concrete, while others indicate structural movement that needs attention. The key is identifying which type you’re dealing with.

Can I seal foundation cracks myself with store-bought products?

Surface sealers from hardware stores might stop minor seepage temporarily, but they don’t address the structural aspects of foundation cracks. These products typically fail within a year or two because they don’t penetrate deep enough into the crack or bond properly with wet concrete. Professional crack injection uses specialized equipment to inject material under pressure, ensuring complete fill and proper adhesion. DIY repairs often make professional repairs more difficult later because we have to remove the failed material first. For anything more than hairline surface cracks, professional injection is worth the investment.

How much does professional foundation crack repair typically cost?

Foundation crack injection typically ranges from $300-800 per crack depending on length, width, and accessibility. Multiple cracks or structural reinforcement work costs more, but we provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation. The cost depends on crack size, location, and whether waterproofing work is needed along with the repair. Emergency repairs during active leaking may cost more due to urgency. We give you a detailed estimate that breaks down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Proper repair now prevents much more expensive structural work later.
