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 College Park, 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.
Misclassifying a crack is the most common mistake in this trade, and it's the first thing we check on every College Park, MD job.
An actively leaking crack rarely waits for a convenient afternoon — we prioritize dispatch for College Park, MD cracks that are currently letting water in.
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 College Park, MD 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.
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.
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 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.
If new movement occurs elsewhere in the wall, that's a separate issue we'd assess independently.
