Foundation Crack Injection Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Repair

First, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify all cracks and determine the best repair method. Not every crack needs the same treatment, and you’ll know exactly what’s required before any work begins.

For active leaks, crack injection uses polyurethane or epoxy materials that bond permanently with concrete. Our injection process fills the entire crack from inside your basement, creating a waterproof seal that’s often stronger than the surrounding foundation.

Structural cracks get epoxy injection that restores the concrete’s integrity. The repair cures completely within hours, and you’ll see immediate results. No waiting weeks to find out if the repair worked.

We clean the work area completely, and you’ll receive documentation of what was repaired and what materials were used. Most repairs are completed in a single day with minimal disruption to your household.

What's Included in Foundation Crack Repair

Every foundation repair starts with a complete assessment of your basement’s condition. You’ll get an honest evaluation of which cracks need immediate attention and which ones can be monitored over time.

Our crack injection services include both structural repairs using epoxy and waterproofing repairs using polyurethane. The choice depends on whether the crack is actively leaking or compromising structural integrity. Many homeowners need both types in different areas.

All repairs come with material warranties, and our work includes proper surface preparation and finishing. You won’t be left with obvious repair marks or rough patches that look unprofessional.

Additional services include basement wall crack repair, foundation leak repair, and preventive sealing of potential problem areas. Our goal is solving your current issues while preventing future problems that could cost significantly more to address later.

How long does foundation crack injection actually last?

Professional crack injection using quality polyurethane or epoxy materials typically lasts 10-20 years or longer when done correctly. The key is proper material selection and application technique. Polyurethane injections for waterproofing remain flexible and handle seasonal movement well, while epoxy injections for structural repairs create permanent bonds that are often stronger than the original concrete. The longevity depends more on the quality of materials and installation than the crack itself. Cheap DIY kits or improper application usually fail within 1-2 years, which is why professional injection is worth the investment for permanent results.

Should I repair foundation cracks from inside or outside the basement?

Interior crack injection is usually the most effective and practical approach for most foundation repairs. Injecting from inside allows direct access to the crack and creates a complete seal through the entire wall thickness. Exterior repairs require excavation, which is expensive and often unnecessary for crack repair. However, exterior work makes sense when you have widespread foundation issues or need comprehensive waterproofing. Interior injection can be done year-round regardless of weather and typically costs 60-70% less than exterior excavation. Most foundation cracks can be permanently repaired from inside using proper injection techniques and materials.

How much does professional foundation crack repair typically cost?

Foundation crack injection typically ranges from $300-800 per crack depending on length, location, and complexity. Small basement wall cracks under 3 feet often cost $300-500, while longer structural cracks can reach $600-800. Multiple cracks usually qualify for package pricing. The cost includes materials, labor, and cleanup but varies based on accessibility and whether you need structural epoxy or waterproofing polyurethane. Emergency leak repairs may include service premiums. Getting multiple quotes is smart, but extremely low bids often indicate inferior materials or shortcuts that lead to repair failures. Quality injection work costs more upfront but prevents expensive re-repairs.

What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane crack injection?

Epoxy injection is used for structural repairs where the crack has compromised the foundation’s integrity. It cures rigid and bonds permanently with concrete, essentially welding the crack back together. Epoxy works best on stable, non-moving cracks and restores the wall’s original strength. Polyurethane injection is designed for waterproofing active leaks. It expands slightly as it cures and remains flexible to handle seasonal foundation movement. Polyurethane stops water infiltration but doesn’t provide structural reinforcement. Many foundation repairs need both materials in different areas. A professional assessment determines which material suits each specific crack based on its cause, location, and whether it’s actively leaking or structurally significant.

Can foundation cracks be repaired during winter in New York?

Yes, interior foundation crack injection can be performed year-round in New York since the work happens inside your heated basement. Temperature and weather don’t affect interior repairs the way they impact exterior foundation work. Winter is actually a good time for crack repair because you can identify active leaks from snow melt and spring runoff. The injection materials cure properly in normal basement temperatures, and there’s no excavation or exterior work that weather could compromise. However, some contractors may have limited winter availability, so scheduling might take longer. Emergency leak repairs are available during winter months since water infiltration can cause immediate damage to basement contents and create mold conditions.

How can I tell if a foundation crack needs immediate professional repair?

Active water leaks require immediate attention, especially if water appears during rain or snow melt. Cracks wider than 1/4 inch or those showing recent growth also need prompt professional evaluation. Horizontal cracks are more concerning than vertical ones and usually indicate structural issues requiring immediate repair. Signs like doors or windows sticking, new cracks appearing regularly, or basement walls bowing inward suggest foundation movement that needs professional assessment quickly. Musty odors or visible mold around cracks indicate moisture problems that worsen rapidly. When in doubt, get a professional inspection. Foundation problems never improve on their own and early intervention prevents much more expensive repairs later.
