We classify every crack before injecting it — structural cracks get epoxy, active leaks get flexible polyurethane, and both get a written scope before we start.
Not every Sandusky, OH foundation crack needs the same material or approach. A vertical settlement crack behaves differently than a stair-step block crack, and we adjust injection technique and material to match what's actually happening in the wall.
Misclassifying a crack is the most common mistake in this trade, and it's the first thing we check on every Sandusky, OH job.
Most crack injection appointments can be scheduled within a day or two of your call.
Pricing is based on crack length and injection material, quoted in writing before we drill any injection ports.
Polyurethane expands to fill voids behind an actively weeping wall; epoxy is reserved for cracks that need structural bonding.
We scope every Foundation Crack Repair job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
Structural cracks that aren't actively leaking get epoxy injection, which bonds the concrete back together rather than just sealing the surface.
Cracks that are still weeping get flexible polyurethane, which expands into voids and stays flexible enough to handle minor seasonal movement.
Stair-step cracking in block foundation walls needs a different injection port pattern than a vertical crack in poured concrete, and we adjust technique accordingly.
Vertical cracks are usually settlement-related and often isolated; horizontal cracks can indicate hydrostatic pressure pushing on the wall and get flagged for further evaluation.

A technician measures crack width, checks for wall bowing, and determines whether it's structural, cosmetic, or actively leaking.
We explain why we're recommending one material over the other so the choice isn't a black box.
Most single-crack injections are completed in a few hours, start to finish, in one visit.

Active leaks get flexible polyurethane regardless of classification, since stopping water intrusion is the immediate priority.
We repair cracks of nearly any size — hairline cracks are often the easiest and cheapest to seal before they widen further.
Epoxy is better for structural bonding on a non-leaking crack; polyurethane is better for a crack that's actively weeping since it cures even with water present.
Most single-crack injections are completed in a few hours during one visit.
If new movement occurs elsewhere in the wall, that's a separate issue we'd assess independently.
