Crack Injection in North Vancouver
Crack injection seals discrete foundation cracks with polyurethane or epoxy when the leak path is localized. It is faster and less invasive than full waterproofing - and the wrong tool when perimeter drainage or grade failure is the real source. We say which case you are in after seeing the crack and the rest of the basement.
Who this is for
- Single active or dormant cracks with clear moisture staining
- Basements otherwise dry away from the crack line
- Owners seeking a targeted repair before considering full digs
- Inspection-flagged cracks that need a documented response
Focused repair when a specific crack is the entry point. Faster and less invasive than full waterproofing.
How the work typically runs
- 1
Crack and context check
We measure width, note movement signs, and check whether water is active. Surrounding walls and slab edges get a quick source scan.
- 2
Material choice
Flexible polyurethane suits many wet cracks; structural epoxy is considered when dryness and movement allow. Choice is explained before injection.
- 3
Inject and clean
Ports are set, material is injected to refusal or design volume, and the work area is cleaned.
- 4
Monitor guidance
You get notes on what to watch after the next storms and when to call if moisture returns elsewhere.
What influences cost
We do not publish fixed prices here. Access, wall length, soil, restoration, and discharge routing vary too widely on North Shore lots. These are the factors that usually shape an estimate:
- Crack length and accessibility
- Active water versus dry crack conditions
- Number of cracks in the same visit
- Interior finish protection needs
- Whether assessment finds larger system issues
Questions about crack injection
Will injection fix every wet basement?
No. Injection seals crack paths. Wall-floor seepage, failed drains, or reverse grade need different systems. We will not sell injection as a perimeter fix.
How long does injection take?
Many single-crack jobs finish in a day. Multiple cracks or difficult access can extend the visit.
Polyurethane or epoxy?
Wet, moving cracks often call for flexible polyurethane. Dry structural cracks may suit epoxy. Site conditions decide - not a brand preference.
