Foundation Crack Repair Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your foundation cracks to determine what’s causing them and how serious they are. Not all cracks are the same, and the repair method depends on the type of crack, its location, and what’s behind it.

For most foundation cracks, we use professional-grade crack injection. This involves cleaning out the crack, preparing the surface properly, and injecting specialized polyurethane or epoxy material that bonds with the concrete and creates a permanent seal.

We also address the source of the problem when possible. If water pressure is contributing to the cracking, we’ll recommend drainage improvements. If settlement is the issue, we’ll explain what that means for your foundation long-term. You get the repair you need plus the information to prevent future problems.

What's Included in Professional Foundation Repair

You get a thorough inspection that identifies all problem areas, not just the obvious cracks. We check for signs of ongoing settlement, water damage, and structural issues that might not be visible from the inside.

The actual repair work includes proper crack preparation, professional-grade injection materials, and sealing techniques that create a watertight barrier. We don’t just fill the crack – we address it in a way that prevents it from reopening.

Nissequogue homes face unique challenges from seasonal weather changes and proximity to water. We factor in these local conditions when recommending repair methods. You also get a clear explanation of what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch for going forward. Every repair comes with our warranty because we stand behind the work we do.

How do I know if a foundation crack is serious?

Most foundation cracks fall into two categories: settling cracks and structural cracks. Settling cracks are usually thin, vertical, and appear in new construction as the house adjusts. Structural cracks are wider, horizontal, or step-shaped and can indicate serious foundation movement. If you can fit a coin into the crack, if it’s growing, or if you see water coming through, it needs professional attention. The location matters too – cracks near windows, doors, or corners are more concerning than isolated hairline cracks in the middle of a wall.

Will crack injection actually stop water from coming through?

Yes, when done properly with the right materials. Professional crack injection uses polyurethane or epoxy that expands and bonds with the concrete to create a waterproof seal. The key is proper preparation – the crack has to be cleaned out completely and the injection has to reach the full depth of the crack. Surface patches or DIY crack fillers usually fail because they don’t address the crack from the inside out. We inject from the inside when possible because that’s where the water pressure is coming from.

How long does foundation crack repair take?

Most foundation crack repairs can be completed in a few hours to a full day, depending on how many cracks we’re fixing and their size. The injection process itself is relatively quick, but proper preparation takes time. We need to clean the crack, set up injection ports, and allow cure time for the materials. You can usually use your basement the same day, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before the repair area gets wet. If we’re doing multiple cracks or combining repair with waterproofing work, it might take longer.

What causes foundation cracks in the first place?

In Nissequogue and Long Island generally, foundation cracks usually come from soil movement, water pressure, or normal settling. The sandy soil here shifts with moisture changes, and homes near water deal with higher water tables. Freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction that can open cracks over time. Poor drainage around the foundation puts constant pressure on basement walls. Some cracking is normal in concrete foundations, but active cracks that grow or leak need attention before they become bigger problems.

Should I try to fix foundation cracks myself?

Surface cracks that aren’t leaking might be okay for DIY repair, but anything that’s letting water through or getting bigger needs professional equipment and materials. Hardware store crack fillers work for cosmetic fixes but won’t hold up against water pressure or structural movement. Professional injection requires specialized equipment to get the material deep into the crack under pressure. If the crack is structural or if there are multiple cracks, you need someone who can assess the bigger picture and determine if there’s an underlying foundation issue.

Do foundation crack repairs come with any kind of warranty?

Yes, we warranty our crack injection work because we use professional-grade materials and proven techniques. The warranty covers the repair itself – if the crack reopens or starts leaking again, we’ll come back and fix it. What we can’t warranty is new cracks in different locations or damage from major foundation movement that happens after the repair. That’s why we do a thorough inspection first and let you know if we see signs of ongoing foundation problems that might need different solutions beyond crack repair.
