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.
Misclassifying a crack is the single most common mistake in this trade — treating a structural crack with the wrong material, or injecting a crack that actually needed a broader drainage fix behind it. We classify before we inject, every time.
Our technicians are trained to tell a cosmetic hairline crack apart from one that signals structural movement, before recommending a fix.
An actively leaking crack rarely waits for a convenient afternoon — we prioritize dispatch for Dickerson, MD cracks that are currently letting water in.
Pricing is based on crack length and injection material, quoted in writing before we drill any injection ports.
We carry both structural epoxy and flexible polyurethane so the crew can match material to the crack on the same visit.
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.
We also check for bowing alongside stair-step cracks, since that combination can point to a bigger structural issue.
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.
Selling a Dickerson, MD home with a flagged foundation crack? We can inspect, repair, and provide documentation for the buyer's lender or inspector.
Tell us the crack's location, whether it's actively leaking, and roughly how wide it is so we can bring the right materials.
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.
We check the injection ports after curing to confirm the material fully filled the crack before we consider the job done.
"We were selling the house and the inspector flagged a foundation crack. They came out within two days, injected epoxy, and gave us documentation for the buyer's lender."
— Dickerson Seller
"Polyurethane injection stopped an active leak the same day they showed up — didn't expect it to be that fast."
— Dickerson Homeowner
"Had two cracks — one needed epoxy, one needed polyurethane. They matched material to each one instead of using the same thing on both."
— Dickerson Customer
"Stair-step crack in our block wall had us worried about the whole foundation. Turned out to be isolated and fixable with injection."
— Dickerson Homeowner
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.
We make the call on-site after inspecting the crack, not before we've seen it.
Multiple cracks or hard-to-access areas can extend the timeline, which we'll flag in the written quote.
A properly injected crack is unlikely to reopen at the same spot, and our work comes with a written warranty covering exactly that.
