A crack that leaks every spring isn't random. It's the high water table near Salem Pond pushing water through the path of least resistance, and freeze-thaw cycling every winter widens that path a little more each year. Salem Foundation Pros injects epoxy or polyurethane resin directly into the crack to seal it from the inside out, matching the material to whether the crack is structural or just leaking.
Not every crack needs the same fix. We check width, direction, and whether it's actively leaking before recommending epoxy for structural bonding or polyurethane for a flexible water seal.

How Our Foundation Crack Repair Process Works
Step 1Crack Inspection
Each crack is examined to determine type, width, and likely 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 control material delivery.
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, stable seal.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Foundation Crack Repair
Material choice depends on whether the crack is structural or primarily a water-intrusion problem.
Epoxy Injection Resin
Bonds structural cracks rigidly, restoring strength where the crack affects the wall's load capacity.
Polyurethane Foam Sealant
Expands to fill the crack and flexes with seasonal movement, a better match for cracks that leak with spring runoff.
Injection Ports
Spaced along the crack to deliver sealant at controlled depth rather than just surface-patching.
Surface Primer
Preps the concrete so injected material bonds properly instead of peeling later.
Masonry Patch Compound
Finishes and blends the repaired surface with surrounding concrete.
Protective Topcoat
Shields the finished repair from the same moisture exposure that caused the original crack.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Foundation Crack Repair
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Caulking a hairline, non-leaking surface crack for cosmetic purposes. | Any crack that leaks water, since surface caulk doesn't stop water finding a path through the wall under pressure. |
| Monitoring a small crack over a season to see if it changes. | Cracks wider than a hairline or that are growing season to season. |
| — | Diagonal cracks above basement windows, which often indicate structural movement rather than surface shrinkage. |

FAQs
Foundation Crack Repair FAQs
Is it normal for a foundation crack to leak water every spring?
It's common in Salem given how close the water table sits to the surface near the pond, but normal doesn't mean it should be ignored. A recurring leak means the crack is an active path for water and needs sealing from the inside, not just surface caulk.
Can I caulk a foundation crack myself or does it need a pro?
Caulk sits on the surface. Water under pressure still finds the gaps around it. Epoxy or polyurethane injection bonds through the full depth of the crack, which is what actually stops the leak.
Do I need a permit to fix a foundation crack in Utah County?
Most standalone crack injection work doesn't require a permit. If the repair is part of a larger structural scope like wall anchoring, check with the county or city building department first.
What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane for crack injection?
Epoxy is rigid and bonds the crack for structural strength. Polyurethane expands and stays flexible, which handles water infiltration and seasonal movement better. We pick based on what the crack is actually doing.
How much does foundation crack repair cost in Salem?
Cost depends on crack width, length, and whether it's a single crack or multiple. A single hairline-to-moderate crack injection typically runs in the few-hundred to low-thousand range; we'll give you an exact number after inspection.
