Types of Cracks:
Vertical cracks
Vertical foundation wall cracks are common and may leak when water pressure increases outside the foundation. These cracks are often repaired with crack injection after an inspection confirms the leak path and crack conditions.
Horizontal cracks
Horizontal cracks may indicate higher pressure or movement in the foundation wall. These cracks require inspection to confirm whether standard crack injection is appropriate or whether epoxy crack injection is required for structural repair.
Crack Injection Cost
Crack injection cost depends on the crack length, crack location, crack direction (vertical or horizontal), wall access, and whether epoxy crack injection is required. Most residential crack injection projects are priced per crack based on standard wall conditions. For an accurate price, request a free inspection and written estimate.
Foundation Cracks typically cost between $650 – $1,500 per crack depending on many factors
