Finger Lakes Foundation Repair provides professional foundation crack repair using advanced injection techniques. Best for homeowners with leaking cracks, structural cracks, or cracks that keep growing. Free inspections and guaranteed repairs.
Foundation cracks are common in Finger Lakes homes. Our clay-heavy soils expand and contract with moisture changes, and our freeze-thaw cycles put constant stress on concrete and block foundations.
Some cracks are cosmetic. Others are warning signs of serious structural problems. The key is knowing the difference—and addressing problems before they get worse.
We've repaired thousands of foundation cracks in the Finger Lakes region. We'll tell you honestly which cracks need attention and which ones you can monitor.
Understanding what type of crack you have helps determine the right repair approach.
Usually caused by concrete shrinkage during curing or minor settling. These are the most common and typically the least concerning.
Severity: Usually Low
Often indicate differential settling—one part of your foundation is moving more than another. Should be evaluated promptly.
Severity: Moderate
A serious warning sign. These indicate lateral pressure from soil pushing against your foundation walls. Requires immediate attention.
Severity: High
Found in block or brick foundations, following mortar joints. Often indicates significant settling or lateral pressure.
Severity: High
Any crack allowing water entry needs repair, regardless of its direction. Water intrusion causes further damage over time.
Severity: Moderate to High
Very thin surface cracks, often from concrete curing. Usually cosmetic, but worth monitoring for changes.
Severity: Low
Our most common repair method. We inject expanding polyurethane foam that fills the entire crack from inside out, creating a flexible, waterproof seal.
We inject structural epoxy that bonds the crack together, restoring the concrete's original strength. Creates a rigid, permanent repair.
For cracks associated with wall movement, we apply carbon fiber straps that prevent further cracking and add tremendous tensile strength.
For severe or recurring cracks, we excavate to apply waterproof membrane from the outside, addressing the crack at its source.
We inspect the crack, identify its cause, and determine the best repair method.
We clean the crack and install injection ports along its length.
We inject repair material under pressure, filling the crack completely.
We remove ports, smooth the surface, and provide warranty documentation.
Crack repair is one of the most affordable foundation repairs. Catching cracks early means simpler, less expensive fixes. Waiting until cracks become structural problems costs significantly more.
