Our Process

Professional 6-Step Crack Injection Process

1

Assessment & Diagnosis

Every foundation crack repair begins with a thorough evaluation. Our technicians measure crack width, length, and depth while conducting moisture testing to detect active water infiltration. We assess whether the crack is structural or non-structural, static or actively moving, and determine the underlying cause, whether from concrete shrinkage, settlement, or hydrostatic pressure. This detailed diagnosis ensures we select the right injection material and technique for a permanent repair.

2

Surface Preparation

Proper surface preparation is critical for injection success. We clean the crack and surrounding concrete, removing loose debris, efflorescence, and any contaminants that could prevent proper adhesion. The crack surface is then sealed with a specialized epoxy paste, creating a dam that contains the injection material within the crack. This surface seal ensures the resin penetrates deep into the foundation rather than leaking out during injection.

3

Port Installation

Injection ports are strategically installed along the entire crack length at calculated intervals, typically 6 to 12 inches apart depending on crack characteristics and wall thickness. These ports serve as entry points for the injection material, allowing controlled delivery at multiple locations. Proper port spacing ensures complete material distribution from the interior surface through the full wall thickness to the exterior soil side.

4

Material Injection

Using professional-grade equipment, we inject Polyurethane or Epoxy resin under controlled low pressure, starting from the lowest port and working upward. The material flows through the crack, filling voids and bonding to the concrete substrate. We monitor flow patterns at adjacent ports to confirm complete saturation, when material appears at the next port, we know the section is fully filled. This methodical approach guarantees no gaps remain in the repair.

5

Quality Verification

Before the material fully cures, we perform quality assurance checks to verify complete penetration throughout the crack. This includes visual confirmation of material flow, pressure monitoring during injection, and verification that the repair extends through the full foundation thickness. For polyurethane foam repairs, the expanding material creates positive confirmation as it emerges from the exterior soil side, proving the crack is sealed from inside to outside.

6

Final Inspection & Warranty

Once cured, injection ports optionaly can be removed. Our technician conducts a final inspection documenting the completed repair with photos and detailed notes when required. You receive a comprehensive warranty package including our 2-10-year transferable warranty, care instructions, and direct contact information for any future questions. We stand behind every crack injection repair we perform in Grande Prairie and surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers to Your Foundation Crack Questions

Get professional insights on concrete crack injection that other contractors won't tell you.

Most contractors use a generic single solution for all repairs that does not address Grande Prairie's expansive clay soil movement. Our Epoxy and Ployurethane systems are specifically chosen for Alberta's freeze-thaw cycles and provide flexible or rigid repair depending on crack type. We also address the root cause, not just the symptom. Many reinforcement solutions are avilable .

Box store DIY kits use consumer-grade materials with no warranties. Most are general-purpose products, not specialized for foundation repair and fail within 2-3 years in Alberta's freeze-thaw climate. Our professional NextStar systems are ASTM-approved, require proper crack diagnosis and pressure testing, and create repairs stronger than the original concrete. NextStar also offers professional-grade kits using the same high-performance chemicals for those who prefer a DIY approach.

Professional crack repair with documentation and warranty typically increases your home's sellable value by $3,000-8,000 vs repairs left, triggering buyer negotiations. Home inspectors specifically look for unrepaired foundation cracks. Our warranty transfers to new owners, providing additional selling confidence.

Epoxy repairs: 24 hours in normal conditions
Polyurethane repairs: 4-6 hours
Temperature and humidity affect cure times. We provide specific timelines and can coordinate with your finishing contractor to minimize delays.

When done properly with professional materials, crack injection creates a permanent repair. Our Startech epoxy actually makes the repair area stronger than the original concrete. However, if underlying drainage or soil issues aren't addressed, new cracks may form elsewhere.

Low-cost repairs use generic materials with no warranties. Professional repairs include proper assessment, premium materials, pressure testing, and comprehensive warranties. The $200 repair often fails, requiring complete redo. Invest once in professional repair rather than multiple cheap fixes.

Yes, 95% of our crack repairs are completed from inside, avoiding excavation costs. Our injection systems penetrate completely through foundation walls. Interior injection is faster, less expensive, and equally effective as exterior methods for most crack types.

Our Limited 2-10-year warranty covers re-injection at no cost if the original repair fails. This includes materials, labor, and cleanup.
