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 Upper Falls, MD 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.
Our technicians are trained to tell a cosmetic hairline crack apart from one that signals structural movement, before recommending a fix.
Most crack injection appointments can be scheduled within a day or two of your call.
A single crack repair is one of the most predictably priced jobs we do — no surprise scope creep.
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.
Epoxy-injected cracks regain much of their original structural strength, which matters for load-bearing foundation walls.
Polyurethane cures even in the presence of water, which makes it the right call for a crack that's actively letting water through.
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 Upper Falls, MD home with a flagged foundation crack? We can inspect, repair, and provide documentation for the buyer's lender or inspector.
Photos texted ahead of time help us prep for the visit and sometimes speed up scheduling.
A technician measures crack width, checks for wall bowing, and determines whether it's structural, cosmetic, or actively leaking.
You'll get a price based on crack length and material — epoxy or polyurethane — before any drilling starts.
Most single-crack injections are completed in a few hours, start to finish, in one visit.
"Crack in our basement wall had been leaking for a year before we finally called. Injection took less than an afternoon and it's been dry since."
— Upper Falls Seller
"Polyurethane injection stopped an active leak the same day they showed up — didn't expect it to be that fast."
— Upper Falls Homeowner
"Had two cracks — one needed epoxy, one needed polyurethane. They matched material to each one instead of using the same thing on both."
— Upper Falls Customer
"Fast, clean work — no mess left behind after the injection ports were patched."
— Upper Falls 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.
If new movement occurs elsewhere in the wall, that's a separate issue we'd assess independently.
Yes — we provide before-and-after photos and a repair summary that Upper Falls, MD buyers, sellers, and lenders commonly request.
