Epoxy Injection Crack Repair by AMC911
Walking downstairs and noticing water seeping in through a crack in your crawl space or basement wall is an unsettling feeling. The good news is that water intrusion through cracks in your foundation wall can be injected and sealed with a polyurethane foam before a small crack turns into full concrete failure.
AMC911 Crawl Space & Foundation Repair provides the right solution to eliminate water leaks entering your crawl space or basement foundation wall. Epoxy injection crack repair fills the crack from the inside out, restoring structural strength to the wall.
Our top-of-the-line products are designed to stop water seepage from entering wall cracks. The liquid contains urethane that fills concrete cracks before they start to expand and widen. This method works so well because it keeps water outside of the foundation, preventing mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage to your home.
Benefits of Crack Injection Repair by AMC911
Epoxy injection restores the structural integrity of the foundation by sealing cracks as small as .005″. The professional-grade injection polyurethane resin we use is flexible, and it can move with the wall as the soil expands and contracts.
Polyurethane can be injected into actively water-seeping cracks, eliminating water leaks within seconds. Surface sealer epoxy is a fast-setting crack sealer that seals cracks before injection begins. We also use crack injection accessories, such as dispensing guns, surface ports, and static mixers, to complete the crack repair process.
All of these components lend you your best defense against water damage.
They offer the following benefits:
- Provides permanent repair to foundation cracks
- Guards against air leaks
- Stops water leaks and seepage
- Flexible
- Seals wall cracks
- Reduces moisture levels and humidity
- Can be applied to the exterior of the home or from the inside of your crawl space or basement
- Reduces water vapor permeation
Our crack injections are commercial-grade products that are reliable and economical. The epoxy hardens quickly after the application process to keep the seal intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does crack injection repair work?
Crack injection repair seals foundation wall cracks by injecting polyurethane material into the crack. Injection ports and specialized equipment fill the crack with injection resin to create a seal that helps prevent water intrusion. The repair approach depends on crack width, wall conditions, and the source of the leak.
What type of cracks can be repaired with injection?
Crack injection can be an effective solution for many foundation wall cracks, including hairline cracks and cracks that allow water intrusion. During an inspection, we evaluate the crack condition and the foundation’s overall structural integrity to determine the right repair approach. Some cracks may require additional structural repair.
What is the difference between epoxy crack injection and polyurethane injection?
Polyurethane injection seals foundation cracks and remains flexible after curing, allowing it to move with normal foundation changes. Epoxy crack injection creates a rigid bond and is used for structural crack repair when restoring structural integrity is the goal. The right method depends on the crack and the condition of the concrete surfaces involved.
Can crack injection repair stop active leaks?
Yes. Polyurethane injection is designed to seal actively leaking foundation cracks. The material expands when it contacts water, making it an effective solution for stopping water intrusion.
How long does crack injection repair last?
A properly completed crack injection repair provides a durable seal that can accommodate normal foundation movement. Polyurethane remains flexible after curing, allowing it to continue sealing the crack as conditions change.
Is crack injection repair better than patching a crack?
Yes. Surface patches only cover the visible portion of a crack and may not address water intrusion through the foundation wall. Crack injection seals the crack itself for a more complete repair in concrete structures.
Can all foundation cracks be repaired with injection?
Not every foundation crack can be repaired with injection alone. Some cracks may require additional structural repair depending on their size, movement, crack width, and cause. An inspection helps determine the right solution.
