Is that crack in your basement wall just old-house settling, or something getting worse this winter? Midvale Foundation Pros answers that question with a real inspection, measuring crack width, direction, and whether it's actively leaking before recommending epoxy or polyurethane injection.
Freeze-thaw cycling through the Salt Lake Valley winter is the usual culprit behind cracks that widen seasonally. Water gets into a hairline crack, freezes, expands, and the crack grows a little more each cold snap. Catching it with injection before that cycle repeats keeps a small crack from becoming a structural one.

How our Foundation Crack Repair process works
Step 1Crack Inspection
Each crack is examined to determine type, width, and cause.
Step 2Surface Cleaning
Debris and loose material are removed from the crack area.
Step 3Injection Port Setup
Ports are installed along the crack to allow material injection.
Step 4Sealant Injection
Epoxy or polyurethane is injected to fill and bond the crack.
Step 5Surface Finishing
Excess material is removed and the surface is smoothed.
Step 6Final Inspection
The repair is checked to confirm a watertight and stable seal.
Materials
Materials and methods for Foundation Crack Repair
We choose epoxy or polyurethane based on whether the crack is structural, actively leaking, or both.
Epoxy Injection Resin
Bonds structural cracks for added strength and stability, the right call when the crack affects the wall's load-bearing capacity.
Polyurethane Foam Sealant
Expands to fill cracks and block water infiltration, well suited to leaking cracks common after spring snowmelt.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled delivery of sealant into the crack cavity along its full depth.
Surface Primer
Prepares concrete surfaces for proper material adhesion before injection.
Masonry Patch Compound
Used to finish and blend repaired surface areas on block or poured walls.
Protective Topcoat
Applied to shield the repaired area from the moisture cycling common in valley basements.

| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Store-bought epoxy kits on hairline cracks under 1/8 inch with no active leaking | Cracks wider than a credit card edge or with visible water intrusion |
| Monitoring a crack's width and length over several months | Diagonal or stair-step cracking, which often signals structural movement, not just surface shrinkage |

FAQs
Foundation Crack Repair FAQs
Is a hairline foundation crack normal or a sign of bigger problems?
Hairline cracks under 1/8 inch with no leaking are usually just concrete shrinkage and are low risk. Cracks that widen each season, run diagonally, or leak need a closer look.
Can I DIY a foundation crack with epoxy or do I need a pro?
Small hairline cracks with no water intrusion are reasonable DIY territory. Wider, leaking, or structurally significant cracks need pro injection with controlled pressure.
Why do I have diagonal cracks in my basement wall after winter?
Freeze-thaw cycling and soil movement during winter commonly produce diagonal or stair-step cracking, which points toward foundation settlement rather than simple shrinkage.
What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane crack injection?
Epoxy bonds the crack for structural strength. Polyurethane expands to block water and is the better choice for actively leaking cracks that don't need structural reinforcement.
How much does foundation crack repair cost?
Cost depends on crack length and whether structural reinforcement is added. A single crack injection is one of the lower-cost foundation repairs we do.
How do I prepare for a foundation crack repair visit?
Clear stored items away from the crack location so the crew has a clean, unobstructed work area.
