A thin, straight vertical crack is usually just cured concrete shrinking. A diagonal crack, a stair-step crack in a block wall, or one that's widening after a hard winter is a different story, and the difference matters before you reach for a tube of caulk. In Draper, freeze-thaw cycling through the winter and spring snowmelt pressure against basement walls both widen existing cracks, so a crack that looked minor last fall can be actively leaking by spring.
Bluffdale Foundation Pros inspects the crack type, width, and location before recommending epoxy or polyurethane injection, and flags anything that looks like a symptom of larger settlement rather than a standalone crack.

How our Foundation Crack Repair process works
Step 1Crack Inspection
Each crack is examined to determine type, width, and cause.
Step 2Surface Cleaning
Debris and loose material are removed from the crack area.
Step 3Injection Port Setup
Ports are installed along the crack to allow material injection.
Step 4Sealant Injection
Epoxy or polyurethane is injected to fill and bond the crack.
Step 5Surface Finishing
Excess material is removed and the surface is smoothed.
Step 6Final Inspection
The repair is checked to confirm a watertight and stable seal.
Materials
Materials and methods for Foundation Crack Repair
Draper's freeze-thaw cycle means a crack sealed with the wrong material can reopen within a year, so method selection depends on whether the crack is structural or just needs a water seal.
Epoxy Injection Resin
Bonds structural cracks back together for added strength, used when the crack affects wall integrity rather than just water intrusion.
Polyurethane Foam Sealant
Expands to fill cracks and block water infiltration, well suited to active leaks during spring snowmelt.
Injection Ports
Allow controlled delivery of sealant into the crack cavity from top to bottom.
Surface Primer
Prepares concrete surfaces for proper material adhesion before injection begins.
Masonry Patch Compound
Used to finish and blend the repaired surface area with surrounding concrete.
Protective Topcoat
Applied to shield the repaired area from ongoing moisture exposure.

FAQs
Foundation Crack Repair FAQs
Can I just fill foundation cracks myself with epoxy, or do I need a pro?
Store-bought epoxy kits can work for truly hairline, non-leaking cracks, but pro-grade injection reaches the full depth of the crack and matches material to whether the issue is structural or just water intrusion.
How do I tell if a crack is cosmetic or structural?
Straight vertical hairline cracks under 1/16 inch are usually shrinkage. Diagonal cracks, stair-step patterns in block walls, or cracks wider than a quarter inch point toward settlement and need a professional look.
How much does foundation crack repair cost in Draper?
Cost depends mostly on crack length, depth, and which injection material fits the crack type, so pricing is a range rather than a flat number until a technician sees it.
How long does crack injection take?
Most single-crack injections finish in one visit, with cure time measured in hours rather than days.
Do I need a permit for crack injection?
Standalone crack injection usually doesn't need a permit. If the crack is part of a larger structural repair involving piers or wall anchors, that broader scope may require one.
Will sealing a crack stop water for good?
A properly injected crack should stop water at that specific point, but ongoing hydrostatic pressure from poor grading or drainage can eventually cause a new crack elsewhere if the water source isn't addressed too.
