Foundation Crack Repair Process

Here's Exactly How We Fix Your Cracks

First, we assess the crack to determine if it’s structural or settling-related. This tells us which repair method will actually work long-term for your specific situation.

Next, we clean and prepare the crack using professional equipment. Surface preparation determines whether the repair material bonds properly or fails within months.

Then we inject high-grade polyurethane or epoxy material under controlled pressure. The injection fills the entire crack depth, not just the visible surface area.

Finally, we apply exterior waterproofing if needed to address the water source causing the cracks. Fixing the crack without stopping the water pressure just creates new cracks elsewhere.

What's Included in Professional Foundation Repair

You get a complete assessment that identifies why the cracks formed, not just where they appeared. We check for drainage issues, soil settlement, and structural stress patterns.

Our repair includes professional-grade injection materials designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. These aren’t the same products you’ll find at home improvement stores.

We provide written documentation of the work completed, including photos and material specifications. This matters for insurance claims and future home sales in New Hyde Park.

All our crack injection work comes with warranty coverage that protects your investment. If the repair fails due to our workmanship, we return to fix it at no additional cost.

How long does foundation crack injection actually last?

Professional crack injection with high-grade materials typically lasts 10-15 years or longer when done correctly. The key factors are proper surface preparation, using the right injection material for your specific crack type, and addressing any underlying water pressure issues. Cheap DIY crack fillers from hardware stores usually fail within 1-2 years because they don’t penetrate the full crack depth or handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our injection process uses polyurethane or epoxy materials that expand and flex with seasonal temperature changes.

Can foundation cracks be repaired from inside the basement only?

Most foundation cracks can be effectively repaired from the interior using injection methods, which avoids expensive excavation around your home’s exterior. However, the repair is only permanent if we also address what’s causing water pressure against the foundation wall. Sometimes this requires exterior drainage improvements or waterproofing. We assess each crack to determine if interior injection alone will solve the problem or if additional exterior work is needed. Interior-only repairs work well for settling cracks, but active water leaks often require a combination approach.

How do I know if a foundation crack is serious?

Horizontal cracks, cracks wider than 1/4 inch, or cracks that continue growing are serious structural concerns requiring immediate professional assessment. Stair-step cracks in block foundations and cracks with white mineral deposits (efflorescence) also indicate ongoing water infiltration problems. Any crack that allows water seepage needs prompt attention to prevent mold and further structural damage. Vertical hairline cracks are often less concerning but should still be sealed to prevent water entry. The location, direction, and width of cracks tell us whether you’re dealing with normal settling or structural stress that could worsen over time.

What causes foundation cracks in New Hyde Park homes?

Long Island’s clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating pressure against foundation walls that leads to cracking. Our freeze-thaw cycles make this worse by forcing water into small cracks, where it freezes and expands. Poor drainage around the foundation keeps soil saturated, increasing hydrostatic pressure. Many New Hyde Park homes also experience settling cracks as the structure adjusts over time. Tree roots, improper grading, and clogged gutters compound these problems by directing more water toward the foundation. Understanding the cause helps us choose the right repair method for permanent results.

How much does professional foundation crack repair cost?

Foundation crack injection typically costs $300-$800 per crack, depending on length, width, and accessibility. This includes assessment, surface preparation, professional-grade injection materials, and warranty coverage. Extensive structural repairs or exterior waterproofing increase costs but may be necessary for permanent solutions. We provide written estimates that break down exactly what work is included, so you understand what you’re paying for. Emergency repairs may cost more, but addressing foundation cracks promptly usually costs less than dealing with water damage, mold remediation, or structural problems that develop when cracks are ignored.

Should I try DIY foundation crack repair first?

DIY crack repair products rarely provide permanent solutions and can actually make professional repairs more difficult later. Store-bought crack fillers don’t penetrate deep enough, can’t handle structural movement, and often trap water behind them, causing new cracks nearby. Improper surface preparation or using the wrong materials can also void your home insurance coverage for future foundation damage. Professional assessment costs little compared to the expense of failed DIY repairs, water damage, or structural problems that worsen over time. If the crack is actively leaking or wider than 1/8 inch, professional repair is your best option from the start.
