UNDERSTANDING CRACKS

Foundation Crack Repair Hamilton - Reading the Crack Before Choosing the Fix

Real crack repair starts with correctly reading the crack in front of you. Direction, width, location, and moisture all tell a different structural story. A vertical crack running top to bottom in poured concrete with no lateral offset is usually just a shrinkage crack from curing - common, low urgency, worth sealing to keep water out but not alarming. A horizontal crack in a block wall is an entirely different situation: that's bending stress from lateral soil pressure, and it needs a structural engineer's eyes on it.

Every project gets a hands-on assessment before we recommend a single thing. We measure crack width at multiple points, check for lateral displacement, probe for moisture, and look at the crack's history if you can tell us anything about it. Only after that do we decide whether injection alone is enough, or whether it needs structural reinforcement alongside it.

HIGH PRIORITY
Horizontal Cracks
A structural concern driven by lateral soil pressure - this needs a proper assessment, and injection may need wall reinforcement alongside it.
HIGH PRIORITY
Cracks Wider than 3mm
A crack this wide points to significant movement and often comes with active water intrusion - polyurethane expansion injection is usually the right call here.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Stair-Step Cracks
A classic settlement indicator in block or brick walls, following the mortar joint failure pattern - needs an assessment to tell whether the movement is active or just historic.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Diagonal Cracks
Usually points to differential settlement, and the direction and offset matter a lot here - an assessment determines whether injection alone is enough or a structural approach is needed.
MONITOR
Hairline Vertical Cracks
Usually just a shrinkage crack from the concrete curing - under 1mm, no offset, no moisture. Worth sealing as a precaution, but low structural priority.
MONITOR
Old Repaired Cracks
A previously repaired crack showing no new growth or moisture just needs annual monitoring. If it starts leaking or widening again, that's when to book an assessment.

OUR PROCESS

How Foundation Crack Repair Hamilton Injection Works

Matched to the right crack, injection repair is a genuinely permanent fix - clean, done in a single day, with no structural disruption to the rest of the wall.

1
Surface Preparation
Loose material comes off the crack face first, and the surface gets cleaned and dried to whatever standard the chosen injection material requires.
2
Port Installation
Ports go in every 8 to 12 inches along the crack, either surface-bonded or drilled, with spacing and angle adjusted for the crack's depth and width.
3
Surface Sealing
Hydraulic cement or epoxy paste seals the crack face between ports, containing injection pressure so the material actually gets forced deep into the crack instead of just surface-coating it.
4
Material Selection
Epoxy for dry structural cracks that need strength restored, polyurethane for wet or actively leaking cracks that need a watertight seal - never a one-size-fits-all material choice.
5
Injection
Material gets injected at low pressure starting from the lowest port and working upward, watching each port until material shows up at the next one - confirmation the crack has filled full-depth.
6
Cure and Inspect
Ports get capped and the repair inspected once cured. Epoxy reaches full structural strength in 24 to 48 hours; polyurethane seals watertight essentially on contact.

PRICING

Foundation Crack Repair Hamilton - What It Costs

Pricing depends on the crack's length, width, access, and which material the job calls for. Most injection repairs are priced per crack and wrapped up in a single appointment.

We won't quote crack repair over the phone. An accurate number requires seeing the crack in person, since width, length, interior or exterior access, and moisture condition all move the price. Our written fixed-price quotes cover labour, materials, and surface preparation, full stop.

Fixed-Price Guarantee
Every quote is fixed-price, labour and materials included. Your invoice will never come in higher than the number on your written proposal.
$500to $1k
Small Single CrackHairline up to 3mm, under 24 inches long, interior access, dry - epoxy injection, same day, one appointment.
$800to $2k
Active Leaking CrackA wet or actively leaking crack needing polyurethane foam injection - the expansion material fills and seals, and through-wall cracks sometimes need exterior injection as well.
$1.5kto $4k
Multiple CracksWhen two or more cracks in the same wall need injection, a single mobilization brings the per-crack cost down - multi-crack pricing applies.
$3kto $8k
Crack Plus ReinforcementCrack repair combined with carbon fibre wall reinforcement, for cracks that point to lateral movement or bowing - a structural assessment is required before this scope gets quoted.
