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 McLean, VA 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.
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.
Epoxy-injected cracks regain much of their original structural strength, which matters for load-bearing foundation walls.
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 McLean, VA 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.
We also check the exterior grading near the crack, since poor drainage is often what caused it in the first place.
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."
— McLean Seller
"They explained why our crack was structural and not just cosmetic, which the previous contractor never bothered to check."
— McLean Homeowner
"Appreciated the before-and-after photos for our records in case we ever need them for a future sale."
— McLean Customer
"Fast, clean work — no mess left behind after the injection ports were patched."
— McLean 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.
