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 Glenolden, PA 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 Glenolden, PA 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.
Every Glenolden, PA Foundation Crack Repair job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
Structural cracks that aren't actively leaking get epoxy injection, which bonds the concrete back together rather than just sealing the surface.
Polyurethane cures even in the presence of water, which makes it the right call for a crack that's actively letting water through.
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.
Selling a Glenolden, PA 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."
— Glenolden Seller
"They explained why our crack was structural and not just cosmetic, which the previous contractor never bothered to check."
— Glenolden Homeowner
"Had two cracks — one needed epoxy, one needed polyurethane. They matched material to each one instead of using the same thing on both."
— Glenolden Customer
"Stair-step crack in our block wall had us worried about the whole foundation. Turned out to be isolated and fixable with injection."
— Glenolden Homeowner
Active leaks get flexible polyurethane regardless of classification, since stopping water intrusion is the immediate priority.
Catching a crack early with injection usually costs less than waiting until it's actively leaking.
We make the call on-site after inspecting the crack, not before we've seen it.
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.
Turnaround is usually fast enough to fit within a typical closing timeline.
