Foundation Crack Repair in Kearns, UT
Epoxy and polyurethane crack injection in Kearns, UT seals structural and water-entry cracks in aging foundations. Free estimate.
Serving Kearns and nearby communities.
Aging footings and basement walls in Kearns' post-war tract homes develop two kinds of cracks: hairline vertical cracks from normal curing shrinkage, and diagonal or stair-step cracks that signal actual movement. Foundation crack repair uses epoxy or polyurethane injection to seal the crack and, where movement is involved, Kearns Foundation Pros checks for an underlying cause before calling the repair done.
Epoxy injection bonds a structural crack back together for strength. Polyurethane handles active water seepage cracks by expanding to block moisture entry. Picking the right material for the crack type matters more than just filling the gap.
Materials
Materials and methods for Foundation Crack Repair
Epoxy Injection Resin
Bonds structural cracks for added strength and stability, suited to cracks without active water flow.
Polyurethane Foam Sealant
Expands to fill cracks and block water infiltration, the better choice for seeping cracks common after 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 for a clean look.
Protective Topcoat
Applied to shield the repaired area from the valley's recurring freeze-thaw moisture.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Foundation Crack Repair
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Hardware-store crack sealant on a hairline cosmetic crack with no water intrusion | Diagonal or stair-step cracks, since these usually signal movement rather than simple shrinkage |
| — | Any crack with active water seepage, since DIY sealant rarely holds under hydrostatic pressure |
| — | Cracks that keep widening over time |

Foundation Crack Repair FAQs
Is a hairline crack in my basement wall something to worry about?
A thin vertical hairline crack from normal concrete curing is usually cosmetic, but diagonal or widening cracks should get a look.
What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane injection?
Epoxy bonds the crack for structural strength, while polyurethane expands to seal out water, so the choice depends on whether the crack is leaking.
Can I just caulk a foundation crack myself?
Surface caulk can slow water for a season but doesn't bond the crack structurally or stop it from reopening under pressure.
How much does crack injection typically cost?
Cost depends on crack length and material, but a single crack repair is usually the most affordable foundation service available.
Will the crack come back after repair?
A properly injected crack is sealed and bonded, though if the underlying settlement continues, nearby new cracking can appear.
Does insurance cover foundation crack repair?
Most homeowners insurance treats gradual settlement as excluded, so coverage is uncommon unless tied to a sudden covered event.
