Foundation Crack Repair Process

Here's How We Fix Your Cracks

First, we inspect your foundation to understand what’s causing the cracks and whether there are other issues you haven’t spotted yet. Not all cracks are the same, and the repair method depends on the crack type, location, and what’s driving the problem.

Next, we clean and prep the crack properly. This step gets skipped by contractors who rush the job, but it’s critical for lasting repairs. We remove loose material, clean the crack thoroughly, and set up for injection.

Then we inject professional-grade polyurethane or epoxy material directly into the crack under pressure. This fills the entire crack from back to front, creating a waterproof seal that’s actually stronger than the surrounding concrete. The material cures to form a permanent bond that moves with your foundation.

The actual repair includes professional crack injection using materials specifically chosen for your crack type and location. Interior or exterior repairs depending on what makes sense for your situation. We also seal the surface and clean up completely when we’re done.

How long does foundation crack injection actually last?

Professional crack injection with quality materials should last decades when done properly. The polyurethane and epoxy materials we use are designed to move with your foundation through normal settling and temperature changes. Cheap repairs fail because contractors use inferior materials or don’t prep the crack correctly. We’ve seen properly done crack injection hold up 20+ years in Long Island conditions. The key is using the right material for your specific crack type and ensuring complete penetration during injection.

Should I repair foundation cracks from inside or outside?

Most foundation crack repairs in East Rockaway are done from the interior because it’s more practical and often more effective. Interior injection allows us to see the crack clearly, control the injection process better, and avoid excavation costs. Exterior repairs make sense when there are drainage issues to address simultaneously or when the interior isn’t accessible. The injection material works the same way regardless of which side we inject from – it penetrates the full thickness of the wall to create a complete seal.

How much does foundation crack repair typically cost?

Foundation crack repair costs vary based on crack length, location, and complexity, but most homeowners in East Rockaway spend between $400-$1,200 per crack for professional injection repair. Simple hairline cracks cost less than wide structural cracks that require more material and prep work. Multiple cracks often have per-crack pricing that decreases. Exterior repairs cost more due to excavation requirements. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, so there are no surprises.

Will crack injection stop water from coming through my basement wall?

Yes, proper crack injection creates a waterproof seal that stops water infiltration through the crack. The injection materials we use are specifically designed to cure underwater and remain flexible, so they maintain their seal even when your foundation experiences normal movement. However, if you have multiple water entry points or broader drainage issues around your foundation, crack repair might be part of a larger waterproofing solution. We’ll identify any other water issues during our assessment so you understand the complete picture.

How do I know if my foundation crack is serious?

Any crack that’s actively leaking water, growing larger, or wider than a quarter-inch needs professional attention. Horizontal cracks are generally more concerning than vertical ones. Step-pattern cracks, cracks with rust stains, or cracks where you can see daylight through them indicate structural movement that requires immediate evaluation. In East Rockaway’s clay soil conditions, even small cracks can expand quickly during freeze-thaw cycles. When in doubt, have it assessed – catching foundation problems early saves money and prevents bigger structural issues.

What causes foundation cracks in East Rockaway homes?

Long Island’s expansive clay soil is the main culprit behind foundation cracks in East Rockaway. This soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, creating pressure against foundation walls. Freeze-thaw cycles make it worse by forcing water into small cracks where it freezes and expands. Poor drainage around the foundation, settling of the home, and age-related concrete shrinkage also contribute. Coastal weather patterns with heavy rains followed by dry periods create the perfect conditions for soil movement that stresses foundations.
