A new crack in the wall of your basement isn't just unsightly. It may also lead to long term flooding and leaking basement issues, or even allow toxic radon gas into your home. Fixing foundation cracks and basement cracks doesn't have to be a stressful ordeal. We've helped thousands of homeowners fix basement cracks for good with professional crack injection services.
Professional crack injection is one of the most reliable and long-term ways to fix cracks in your basement walls or foundation. While it's tempting to simply cover the crack with sealant or something similar, this won't actually resolve the problem. Our polyurethane crack injection process actually fills the void completely, instead of just covering it up. This will stop moisture, radon gas, and other things from getting into your home.
At StayDry Waterproofing, we can assess the cause of foundation cracks in a no-pressure consultation and make recommendations for the most effective repair solutions. But don't just take our word for it! See what our customers have to say!

Our foundation crack repair services come with a lifetime warranty.
Your basement is surrounded by many exterior pressures, and even the slightest changes can cause cracks in the walls of your basement and long-term problems. Poured concrete foundations are notorious for their tendency to develop cracks. If left unchecked, these cracks can expand and become easy targets for water penetration.
We have seen this happen to thousands of homes and businesses. But we have a simple and long-lasting solution. We use a high-pressure injection tool to inject polyurethane into the void, which then expands all the way through the crack, from the exterior to the interior. This not only eliminates the crack from view, but also stops the associated problems, like moisture intrusion, stability issues, or even pest intrusion.
Polyurethane crack injection is a straightforward and reliable way to fix cracks in your basement or foundation long-term. This solution isn't right for all types of cracks or damage to basement walls or foundations, however; it won't be right for large cracks where walls are visibly buckling or coming apart. If this is the case, we can recommend other solutions that will protect the integrity of your home, like Fortress Stabilization Systems.
If the crack in the wall or foundation is allowing moisture in or causing other issues, but hasn't disrupted the stability of the home, it might be the perfect candidate for injection crack repair. Here's how the process works:
Our foundation crack repair services come with a lifetime warranty, so you can rest easy knowing that the crack is completely fixed.
Basement cracks are typical, and it's important to understand the different types of cracks you may find in your home and what causes them. Some cracks are generally harmless, while others can indicate much bigger problems.
Vertical foundation wall cracks are often caused by the normal process of the settling of the house. If you notice them widening over time or leaking water, then they need to be addressed immediately.
Horizontal foundation wall cracks can look like a straight line, or a stair-step-like pattern, and it most often means there's structural instability, likely from a lot of pressure from overly saturated soil pushing on the wall. In these instances, professional examination and reinforcement are necessary.
Diagonal foundation wall cracks can be a sign that the house has settled unevenly or that the foundation has shifted. These should also be properly sealed to prevent moisture from entering your home.
Hairline concrete cracks are also often caused by the settling process of the house. They are usually less than ⅛ inch wide and are not typically a cause for concern.
Shrinkage cracks in poured concrete form during curing and drying. Although these are shallow cracks, they must be properly sealed to prevent moisture from entering your home.
Non-structural wall cracks that are causing leaks still need to be sealed as soon as possible to avoid mold growth and interior damage to your home.
Any cracks allowing water seepage or radon entry should be assessed by one of our experts. Any crack that is more than ¼ inch wide could be a serious threat to the integrity and stability of the foundation wall.
