How Crack Injection Works
The crack injection process involves injecting a specialized material into the cracks of concrete structures. This material can be either epoxy or polyurethane, depending on the specific needs of the repair. Here's a step-by-step overview of how crack injection works:
- Inspection: Our experts conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage and determine the appropriate injection material.
- Preparation: The surface is cleaned, and injection ports are installed along the crack to facilitate the injection process.
- Injection: The chosen material, either epoxy or polyurethane, is injected into the crack under pressure, filling the voids and sealing the crack completely.
- Curing: The injected material is allowed to cure, forming a strong bond that restores the structural integrity of the concrete.
Benefits of Crack Injection
Crack injection offers numerous benefits, making it a preferred choice for foundation and basement repairs:
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other repair methods, crack injection is a more affordable solution that delivers long-lasting results.
- Non-Invasive: The process is minimally invasive, requiring no major excavation or disruption to your property.
- Versatile: Suitable for both vertical and horizontal cracks, as well as various types of concrete structures.
- Durable: Provides a permanent seal that prevents water intrusion and further damage.
Epoxy vs. Polyurethane Crack Injection
Choosing between epoxy and polyurethane crack injection depends on the specific requirements of the repair:
- Epoxy Crack Injection: Ideal for structural repairs, epoxy provides a strong bond and restores the original strength of the concrete. It is best suited for dry conditions.
- Polyurethane Crack Injection: More flexible than epoxy, polyurethane is perfect for sealing active leaks and is effective in wet conditions. It expands upon injection, filling voids and accommodating slight movements in the structure.

Basement leaks can lead to significant damage if not addressed promptly. Our crack injection services are specifically designed to tackle basement leaks, providing a waterproof seal that protects your home from water damage. Whether it's a minor leak or a major crack, our team is equipped to handle all types of basement repairs.
Crack Injection vs. Other Methods
When it comes to repairing foundation and basement cracks, crack injection stands out as a superior method compared to other techniques:
- Efficiency: Crack injection is faster and more efficient than traditional methods like patching or resurfacing.
- Longevity: Provides a permanent solution that prevents future leaks and structural issues.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Offers a more affordable option without compromising on quality and durability.

“I’ve been working with Henry since early December when I called ALD out to find a leak in my pier and beam house. Henry was able to find the leak and offer multiple options for repair after doing so. Shortly after his initial visit he was able to repair the leak and get me up and running through the holidays. Unfortunately due to the condition of my plumbing there was no guarantee another leak wouldn’t occur in the near future. My house is 90 years old and all of the cold water plumbing was original galvanized pipe from the 20’s. We decided to come back at a later date and replace the cold side from the service line to each of the fixtures. Below you will find examples of how Henry performed during the job. Quality of Work: Henry performed outstanding work which passed visual and hydrostatic testing with the city Self Motivation: Each day Henry and I discussed the scope of his project and laid out plans for what was to be done. I left him alone unsupervised throughout the job and there was never an issue with him dragging his feet or underperforming the daily tasks. Ingenuity: Henry was able to create logical solutions to several of the issues in and around re-plumbing my house. I challenged him to create an easier way to control the water from inside and outside of the house, offering several service solutions with minimal flow interruptions. Ultimately, Henry was able to build several utility manifolds allowing for independent operation of rooms and fixtures throughout the house. This solution added value to my property and future proofed several common plumbing issues found in other homes. Henry was able to tie into the original service line, minimizing downtime and allowing the project to come in 40% under budget. Ability to Work with Others: Each day Henry showed up with a helper and always go the most out of them while on property. I witnessed him treating each one of them fairly and successfully motivated them to work with him on his tasks. Honesty: Henry realizes the importance of forming long term relationships with his customers. He speaks frank about project goals and challenges and communicates the risk of potential solutions clearly. Henry’s ability to gain trust is his strongest quality, I believe ALD will benefit from the many relationships he forms while on the job now and in the future. I will continue to do business with ALD and I have no problem recommending Henry for future work. Thanks for helping me out.”- E. Estes

“Dear Mr. Thompson, I am writing to inform you of the behavior of two of your technicians that come to my home to diagnose a leak. They were both incredibly courteous and professional and took their time to explain what they were doing. I have not had as great an experience with plumbers in the past as I had using the services these two provided. I was very impressed with their depth of knowledge not only with plumbing but also with ants! They found a massive ant colony behind the wall and helped guide us through how we could get rid of them until we could contact a pest service and even helped to clean up some of the mess with us. The only name I have is Mike Mendoza but he had a colleague with him who deserves the same pat on the back for a job well done. I hope Mike remembers who he rode with that day… would have been 12/20/15 approx. So often, people just call to complain about things so I felt that service as well rendered as these guys did needed a note to the boss-man. My hope is to have them back for the repair phase should this be approved for payment by American Home Shield. Thank you very much for holding a high standard of customer service that these gentlemen have displayed. I hope that you have a way to commend them for putting a great face to your company. Strong work!!”- C. Dunlap

“Just wanted to pass on my thanks to both Mike Mendoza & Doyle. They were both very thorough on the first visit and Mike's second visit today to make the repairs and finish the testing needed. It's traumatic enough to go through foundation repairs to then be told you have a plumbing leak. I didn't trust the results received from the plumbing company contracted by the foundation repair company. That's why I called ALD. From the onset I felt comfortable and secure with what Mike was doing. He kept me informed every step during the process and gained my ultimate trust in everything he told me. He was able to isolate the issue right off the bat, where the other company just said the test failed. It's employees like Mike, that make me the consumer feel at ease with what needed to be done. Repairs have been completed and I am more than pleased with the final outcome. Thank you for having such dedicated employees on your staff.”- R.McAuley
