Is that crack in your basement wall something to worry about, or just the house settling in the way older homes do? Foundation crack repair answers that with an inspection first, then an injection method matched to what's actually causing the crack, water pressure, settlement, or plain concrete shrinkage.

Provo Foundation Pros uses epoxy injection for structural bonding and polyurethane injection for active water infiltration, since Provo's older urban-core homes often have basement walls that see both kinds of cracking over time. A hairline crack sealed early is a quick fix. One left to widen can turn into a bigger job.

How Do I Seal a Crack in My Foundation?

A hairline, vertical, non-widening crack can be sealed temporarily with a store-bought epoxy kit. For anything wider, actively leaking, or diagonal, professional injection gets material deep into the crack rather than just capping the surface, which is what actually stops water and bonds the concrete.

FAQs

Foundation Crack Repair FAQs

How do I seal a crack in my foundation myself?

A hairline, non-widening vertical crack can be sealed with a store-bought epoxy kit as a temporary fix. Anything diagonal, widening, or leaking needs professional injection to actually stop it.

How much does foundation crack repair cost in Provo?

Most single-crack jobs run $400-$1,800 depending on length and whether it's actively leaking. Multiple cracks in one visit run $1,500-$3,500.

How do I know if a crack is structural or just cosmetic?

Vertical, hairline cracks under 1/8 inch are usually cosmetic settling. Diagonal, stepped, or widening cracks typically signal structural movement and should get a professional look.

Is DIY crack repair a good idea or will it make it worse?

For a true hairline cosmetic crack, DIY sealing is fine as a stopgap. Sealing the surface on a structural crack without addressing the cause can mask a bigger problem while it keeps moving underneath.

Do I need a permit for crack repair?

Standard injection work usually doesn't require a permit. If the crack is part of a larger structural repair project, a permit may apply.

How long does crack repair take?

Most jobs are done in a single visit, a few hours for prep and injection plus a 24-hour cure before normal load returns.
