Stop Water Intrusion at the Source
If you’re noticing water seeping through cracks in your basement walls, you’re not alone. Many modern homes built with poured concrete foundations develop vertical cracks over time, and those cracks are one of the most common entry points for water.
At Basement Masters, we offer professional foundation crack injection services using high-performance polyurethane to seal cracks from the inside out—stopping leaks permanently and protecting your basement from future water damage.
What Is Foundation Crack Injection?
Foundation crack injection is a specialized repair method used to seal cracks in poured concrete walls. Using advanced polyurethane materials, we inject the crack under pressure, allowing the sealant to fully expand and fill the entire depth of the wall.
Once cured, the material creates a flexible, watertight seal that prevents any further moisture from entering your basement.
This process is ideal for:
- Vertical cracks in poured concrete foundations
- Active water leaks
- Seasonal seepage or damp walls
- Preventative sealing before finishing a basement
Why Poured Foundations Crack
Unlike older block foundations, newer homes often feature poured concrete walls. While strong, these walls naturally develop cracks due to:
- Concrete shrinkage during curing
- Soil movement and settling
- Hydrostatic pressure from groundwater
- Temperature fluctuations
Even small cracks can allow water intrusion, which can lead to mold, structural issues, and costly repairs if ignored.
Signs You Need Crack Injection
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to address the issue before it gets worse:
- Water is leaking through the wall cracks
- Damp or musty basement smells
- Visible vertical or diagonal cracks
- Efflorescence (white, chalky residue)
- Water stains or discoloration on walls
Our Polyurethane Crack Injection Process
At Basement Masters, we use a proven, professional process to ensure long-lasting results:
1. Crack Assessment
We inspect the foundation to determine the size, depth, and cause of the crack.
2. Surface Preparation
The crack is cleaned and sealed along the surface to prepare for injection.
3. Injection Port Installation
Specialized ports are placed along the crack to allow for even distribution.
4. Polyurethane Injection
We inject expanding polyurethane that penetrates deep into the crack and fills all voids.
5. Final Seal & Cleanup
Once cured, the ports are removed, and the surface is sealed for a clean finish.
Why Polyurethane Injection Works
Polyurethane is the preferred material for sealing leaking foundation cracks because it:
- Expands to fill even the smallest gaps
- Remains flexible as your foundation shifts
- Creates a watertight barrier
- Works even in actively leaking cracks
This ensures a long-term solution—not just a temporary patch.
Ideal for Basement Finishing Projects
Planning to finish your basement? Crack injection is a critical first step.
Sealing foundation cracks ensures your investment is protected from hidden moisture issues that could damage drywall, flooring, and insulation down the line.
Foundation Crack Injection FAQs
How long does crack injection last?

Can you fix a leaking foundation crack from the inside?
Yes, polyurethane injection seals the crack from the inside out, stopping water at its entry point.
Is crack injection better than sealing from the outside?
