Foundation crack repair, waterproofing & wall support

Stop the leak, seal the crack, and brace the wall before a small foundation problem turns into a big one.

Seal the crack

Crack injection

  • Epoxy crack injection for structural cracks
  • Polyurethane injection for leaking cracks
  • Poured concrete basement walls
  • Cracks around pipes and window wells
  • Tie rod and form hole leaks

Injection fills a crack from the inside face all the way through the wall, so water can't follow it in. Most cracks are sealed in a single visit and can be painted over once cured.

Priced per crack after we see it.

Keep it dry

Basement waterproofing

  • Waterproof wall coatings and sealers
  • Mortar joint and block wall sealing
  • Window well drains and covers
  • Buried downspouts and extensions
  • Grading corrections along the foundation

Most wet basements start outside: roof water dumped at the foundation and soil sloping toward the house. We fix the water source first, then seal the walls. See buried downspouts.

Stop the movement

Wall support

  • Steel wall braces for bowing walls
  • Carbon fiber wall straps
  • Cracked and stair-stepped block walls
  • Horizontal cracks stabilized
  • Ongoing movement checked over time

Wall bracing stops bowing and leaning basement walls from moving further. Walls that have shifted significantly get an engineer's assessment first, so the fix matches the problem.

Signs to watch for

  • Water on the basement floor after rain
  • Horizontal or stair-step cracks in block walls
  • Cracks wider than a credit card
  • Walls that lean or bow inward
  • White, chalky residue on walls
  • Doors upstairs that suddenly stick

Common questions

Is every foundation crack a problem?

No. Thin vertical cracks in poured walls are common and often only need sealing. Horizontal cracks, wide cracks, and bowing walls need attention sooner. Send a photo and we'll tell you which you have.

Can you do this in winter?

Yes. Crack injection, wall sealing, and wall bracing are done from inside the basement, so they can be done year-round.
