Is that crack in your foundation wall getting wider, or has it looked the same for years? That distinction matters more than the crack's length. American Fork Foundation Pros checks crack pattern and width before recommending anything, because a hairline settling crack and a structural one need different fixes.

Freeze-thaw cycling along the Wasatch Front widens cracks every winter that a homeowner might otherwise ignore in summer. Left alone, water gets in, the crack grows, and a cosmetic issue turns into a structural one.

What's included

What's included

Typically included: crack inspection, surface cleaning, injection port setup, epoxy or polyurethane injection, surface finishing. Optional: structural referral if the crack signals movement beyond what injection can fix. Customer prep: clear access to the crack area, move stored items away from the wall.

Materials

Materials and methods for Foundation Crack Repair

Which material we use depends on whether the crack is structural or actively leaking.

  • Epoxy Injection Resin photo

    Epoxy Injection Resin

    bonds structural cracks for added strength, the right call when the crack is dry but compromising the wall's integrity.

  • Polyurethane Foam Sealant photo

    Polyurethane Foam Sealant

    expands to block active water infiltration, suited to cracks still weeping after snowmelt.

  • Injection Ports photo

    Injection Ports

    allow controlled, even delivery of sealant through the full depth of the crack.

  • Surface Primer photo

    Surface Primer

    preps the concrete so the sealant actually bonds instead of flaking off later.

  • Masonry Patch Compound photo

    Masonry Patch Compound

    blends the finished repair into the surrounding surface.

  • Protective Topcoat photo

    Protective Topcoat

    shields the repair from continued moisture exposure through future winters.

FAQs

Foundation Crack Repair FAQs

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

Width, direction, and whether it's actively changing matter most. Diagonal or stair-step cracks wider than a quarter inch, or ones that keep growing, usually point to structural movement rather than normal shrinkage.

What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane injection?

Epoxy bonds structural cracks and restores strength to the wall. Polyurethane expands and flexes, making it better for cracks that are actively letting water through.

How much does crack injection cost?

Most single-crack injections run a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on crack length and material. A free estimate gives an accurate number for your specific crack.

Can I just fill a crack myself?

Store-bought caulk can hold back minor seepage temporarily, but it doesn't bond the way injected epoxy does, and it won't stop a structural crack from continuing to move.

Will crack repair stop future cracking?

It seals the current crack and restores strength at that spot. If the underlying settlement or pressure issue isn't addressed, new cracks can still form elsewhere.
