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 Shelbyville, 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 Shelbyville, 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 Shelbyville, 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.
Selling a Shelbyville, MI 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.
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.

— Shelbyville Seller
"Polyurethane injection stopped an active leak the same day they showed up — didn't expect it to be that fast."
— Shelbyville 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.
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.
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.
