Foundation Crack Repair Process

Here's How We Actually Fix Cracks

First, we inspect the crack to determine if it’s structural or just settling. This matters because the repair approach is completely different. We’re looking at the foundation from inside and outside to understand what caused the crack.

Next, we clean and prepare the crack properly. Most failed repairs happen because this step gets rushed. We remove loose material and make sure the crack is ready for permanent repair.

Then we inject the crack with professional-grade polyurethane or epoxy, depending on whether it’s actively leaking or just needs structural reinforcement. The injection fills the entire crack from back to front, creating a permanent seal that’s actually stronger than the surrounding concrete.

What's Included in Professional Crack Repair

You get a complete assessment of your foundation’s condition, not just the visible crack. We identify what caused the crack and whether other areas need attention before they become problems.

The repair itself uses commercial-grade injection materials designed for Long Island’s soil conditions and climate. These aren’t hardware store products – they’re professional waterproofing compounds that expand and cure to create permanent seals.

We also address drainage issues around the crack area when needed. Sometimes the crack is just a symptom of water management problems that need fixing to prevent future issues.

How do I know if my foundation crack needs professional repair?

Any crack that’s letting water in needs immediate attention, regardless of size. For dry cracks, look for ones wider than a quarter-inch, cracks that are growing, or horizontal cracks in basement walls. These typically indicate structural movement that won’t stop on its own. Hairline cracks in newer foundations often just need monitoring, but cracks in homes over 15 years old usually benefit from professional assessment. When in doubt, get it looked at – catching foundation problems early saves significant money and prevents water damage to your basement.

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

Yes, when done properly with the right materials. Professional crack injection uses polyurethane compounds that expand when they contact water, creating a permanent waterproof seal. The key is proper preparation and using injection materials designed for below-grade waterproofing. DIY crack fillers from hardware stores typically fail because they don’t penetrate the full depth of the crack and aren’t designed for hydrostatic pressure. Professional injection fills the crack completely from the interior wall surface back to the exterior, stopping water intrusion at the source.

How long does foundation crack repair take and will it disrupt my daily routine?

Most single crack repairs take 2-4 hours, including setup and cleanup. Multiple cracks or larger structural repairs might take a full day. The actual injection process is relatively quiet – no jackhammering or major demolition. You can stay in your home during the work, and we don’t need to shut off utilities. The biggest disruption is keeping the repair area dry for 24-48 hours while the injection material cures. We schedule around your availability and explain exactly what to expect before starting any work.

What's the difference between crack injection and just sealing it from the outside?

Exterior sealing often fails because you can’t see exactly where the crack goes or ensure complete coverage. Crack injection works from the inside out, filling the entire crack path with waterproof material that stops water at every point along the crack. Injection also reinforces the concrete structurally, while exterior sealants just create a surface barrier that water can work around. Plus, interior injection doesn’t require excavation around your foundation, which saves time and money while providing a more reliable long-term solution.

How much does professional foundation crack repair typically cost in Northport?

Single crack injection typically runs $300-600 per crack, depending on length and complexity. Multiple cracks often qualify for package pricing. Structural repairs involving reinforcement or extensive waterproofing cost more, usually $1,000-3,000 depending on scope. The investment pays for itself by preventing water damage, protecting your property value, and avoiding much more expensive foundation replacement down the road. We provide written estimates after inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why each repair is necessary.

Do you guarantee your foundation crack repair work will last?

Yes, we warranty our crack injection work because we use professional-grade materials and proper installation techniques. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair and your foundation’s condition, but typically range from 5-10 years for injection repairs. The warranty covers the repair failing to stop water intrusion or the crack reopening in the same location. We stand behind our work because we’re using proven methods and materials designed for permanent repairs, not temporary fixes that need redoing in a few years.
