We classify every crack before injecting it — structural cracks get epoxy, active leaks get flexible polyurethane, and both get a written scope before we start.
Not every Three Rivers, OR foundation crack needs the same material or approach. A vertical settlement crack behaves differently than a stair-step block crack, and we adjust injection technique and material to match what's actually happening in the wall.
Misclassifying a crack is the most common mistake in this trade, and it's the first thing we check on every Three Rivers, OR job.
An actively leaking crack rarely waits for a convenient afternoon — we prioritize dispatch for Three Rivers, OR cracks that are currently letting water in.
Pricing is based on crack length and injection material, quoted in writing before we drill any injection ports.
Polyurethane expands to fill voids behind an actively weeping wall; epoxy is reserved for cracks that need structural bonding.
We scope every Foundation Crack Repair job in person before quoting it, since two properties with the same symptom rarely need the same fix.
Epoxy-injected cracks regain much of their original structural strength, which matters for load-bearing foundation walls.
Polyurethane cures even in the presence of water, which makes it the right call for a crack that's actively letting water through.
Stair-step cracking in block foundation walls needs a different injection port pattern than a vertical crack in poured concrete, and we adjust technique accordingly.
Vertical cracks are usually settlement-related and often isolated; horizontal cracks can indicate hydrostatic pressure pushing on the wall and get flagged for further evaluation.
Fast turnaround matters during a real estate transaction, and we prioritize scheduling for time-sensitive pre-sale repairs.
Photos texted ahead of time help us prep for the visit and sometimes speed up scheduling.
We also check the exterior grading near the crack, since poor drainage is often what caused it in the first place.
You'll get a price based on crack length and material — epoxy or polyurethane — before any drilling starts.
We check the injection ports after curing to confirm the material fully filled the crack before we consider the job done.
"We were selling the house and the inspector flagged a foundation crack. They came out within two days, injected epoxy, and gave us documentation for the buyer's lender."
— Three Rivers Seller
"They explained why our crack was structural and not just cosmetic, which the previous contractor never bothered to check."
— Three Rivers Homeowner
"Had two cracks — one needed epoxy, one needed polyurethane. They matched material to each one instead of using the same thing on both."
— Three Rivers Customer
"Fast, clean work — no mess left behind after the injection ports were patched."
— Three Rivers Homeowner
Active leaks get flexible polyurethane regardless of classification, since stopping water intrusion is the immediate priority.
Catching a crack early with injection usually costs less than waiting until it's actively leaking.
Epoxy is better for structural bonding on a non-leaking crack; polyurethane is better for a crack that's actively weeping since it cures even with water present.
Most single-crack injections are completed in a few hours during one visit.
If new movement occurs elsewhere in the wall, that's a separate issue we'd assess independently.
Turnaround is usually fast enough to fit within a typical closing timeline.
