Foundation Crack Repair Process
The process involves several steps. First, a professional repair contractor should assess the extent and cause of the crack(s) to determine the best repair method. Next, the area around the crack will be cleaned and prepared. Then, depending on the size of the foundation crack, a liquid epoxy or polyurethane material may be injected into the crack to seal it. After that, in some cases, carbon fiber straps or steel reinforcement may be added to the crack to further strengthen the foundation. Lastly, the area around the repaired crack will be smoothed and finished to match the surrounding foundation.Â
