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 Ferndale, MI 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 Ferndale, MI job.
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.
Every Ferndale, MI 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.
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.
We document crack width and location with photos before and after injection so you have a record of the repair.
Fast turnaround matters during a real estate transaction, and we prioritize scheduling for time-sensitive pre-sale repairs.
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.
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.
"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."
— Ferndale Seller
"Polyurethane injection stopped an active leak the same day they showed up — didn't expect it to be that fast."
— Ferndale Homeowner
"Appreciated the before-and-after photos for our records in case we ever need them for a future sale."
— Ferndale Customer
"Stair-step crack in our block wall had us worried about the whole foundation. Turned out to be isolated and fixable with injection."
— Ferndale Homeowner
Crack classification is separate from water contamination — we assess whether the crack is structural or cosmetic based on width, pattern, and any wall bowing.
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.
Yes — we provide before-and-after photos and a repair summary that Ferndale, MI buyers, sellers, and lenders commonly request.
