Basement Crack Repair Specialists

We Actually Know Long Island Foundations

Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing LLC specializes in foundation and waterproofing solutions throughout Long Island. We understand how our clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and high water table create unique challenges that generic repair methods can’t handle.

Our focus stays narrow by design. We’re not general contractors trying to do everything—we’re foundation repair specialists who’ve seen every type of crack, settlement, and water intrusion issue Long Island homes face.

That specialization means we diagnose problems accurately the first time and recommend solutions that actually work long-term in our local conditions.

Foundation Crack Injection Process

Here's Exactly How We Fix It

We start with a thorough inspection to identify not just where cracks exist, but why they formed. Understanding the root cause determines which repair method will actually work long-term.

For most foundation cracks, we use professional-grade polyurethane or epoxy injection. We drill precise injection ports, clean out any debris, then inject the material under controlled pressure. This creates a flexible, waterproof seal that moves with your foundation.

The repair typically takes a few hours, and you’ll see immediate results. We clean up completely and explain what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch for going forward. No surprises, no mess left behind.

What's Actually Included in the Repair

Every foundation crack repair includes a complete structural assessment, not just a quick patch job. We identify whether cracks indicate ongoing settlement, hydrostatic pressure, or simple concrete shrinkage—because the cause determines the solution.

You get professional-grade crack injection using materials specifically chosen for your crack type and location. Basement wall cracks get different treatment than foundation slab cracks because they face different stresses.

We also address drainage issues that contributed to the problem. Sometimes that means recommending gutter improvements or grading changes. We’re not trying to sell you extra work—we’re preventing the same cracks from reopening next year.

How do I know if foundation cracks are serious or just cosmetic?

Width and location tell most of the story. Hairline cracks under 1/8 inch are usually settling cracks that need sealing but aren’t structural emergencies. Cracks wider than 1/4 inch, especially horizontal ones or those that are actively growing, indicate more serious foundation movement that needs immediate attention. Stair-step cracks in block foundations and cracks that leak water always need professional repair. When in doubt, get an assessment—catching problems early saves money and prevents bigger structural issues down the road.

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

Yes, when done properly with the right materials. We use flexible polyurethane injection for active water leaks because it expands and creates a waterproof seal that moves with your foundation. Rigid epoxy works better for dry cracks where structural strength is the main concern. The key is matching the injection material to your specific situation and ensuring complete penetration through the entire wall thickness. Most basement water problems come through cracks, so sealing them properly eliminates the majority of moisture issues.

How long do foundation crack repairs typically last?

Professional crack injection repairs should last decades when done correctly. The injected material often becomes stronger than the surrounding concrete. However, longevity depends on addressing what caused the crack initially. If ongoing settlement or drainage problems aren’t resolved, new cracks may appear elsewhere. That’s why we always assess the underlying cause, not just treat symptoms. Most of our crack injection work comes with warranties because we’re confident in both our materials and methods when applied to properly diagnosed problems.

What's the difference between DIY crack repair products and professional injection?

Professional injection uses commercial-grade materials injected under controlled pressure to ensure complete penetration through the entire wall thickness. DIY products are surface sealers that might stop minor seepage temporarily but don’t create structural repairs. We also use different injection materials depending on whether the crack is actively leaking, structurally significant, or likely to experience movement. Professional equipment allows us to inject at the right pressure and volume to completely fill the crack, while surface products just cover the visible portion and often fail when the foundation moves seasonally.

Should I be worried about foundation cracks getting worse over winter?

Yes, freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on foundation cracks in our Long Island climate. Water gets into cracks, freezes and expands, then thaws and allows more water penetration. This cycle gradually widens cracks and can turn minor issues into major structural problems over several seasons. Fall is actually the ideal time for crack repairs because it prevents winter damage and gives the repair material time to fully cure before facing freeze-thaw stress. Waiting until spring often means dealing with bigger cracks and more extensive water damage.

How much does professional foundation crack repair typically cost?

Most single crack injection repairs range from a few hundred to around a thousand dollars, depending on crack length, location, and complexity. Multiple cracks or structural repairs cost more, but addressing problems early almost always costs less than waiting. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation because honest estimates require seeing the actual problem. Beware of quotes given over the phone or companies that won’t explain their pricing—foundation repair costs should make sense based on the scope of work required.
