Foundation Crack Repair **Tagline:** Restore your home's backbone, permanently. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/foundation-crack-repair/ **What it covers:** Repair of cracks in poured-concrete, block, brick, and stone foundation walls. Includes both leaking and dry cracks, hairline cracks and wide structural cracks, and historic-masonry foundations alongside modern poured walls. **Common signs requiring this service:** - Visible vertical, horizontal, or diagonal cracks on the foundation wall - Water seepage at the wall during or after heavy rain - Efflorescence (white powder) on the wall surface - Crack widening over seasons (use a pencil mark + date to verify) - Stair-step cracking through block walls - Recurring cracks at corners, window/door openings, or cold joints **Common causes we diagnose:** - Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil pushing against the wall - Freeze-thaw cycling on existing hairline cracks - Soil settlement under the footer causing differential movement - Tree-root pressure and clay expansion - Concrete shrinkage from improper original cure - Earthquake or seismic micro-movement (rare but documented in CT/NY) **Methods we use:** - **Polyurethane crack injection** — flexible, expanding resin that fills the full depth of the crack and stays sealed through wall flexing. Best for leaking cracks because it expands on contact with water. - **Epoxy crack injection** — high-strength rigid resin that structurally welds the wall back together. Used on dry, non-moving cracks where we want to restore structural strength. - **Carbon fiber strap reinforcement** — over the injected crack we bond Fortress Stabilization System carbon fiber straps (ICC-ES report ESR-3815) to prevent any future re-opening. The wall is stronger after this repair than it was before the crack appeared. - **Stitch repair / crack stitching** — for masonry and brick walls where injection alone won't work. **Materials we install:** - Sika Sikadur 35 Hi-Mod LV (epoxy) - Emecole Metro polyurethane injection resins - Fortress Stabilization carbon fiber straps and FRP - Crack-Stitch helical bars - Sika LM low-modulus polyurethane **Pricing range:** $400–$2,500 per typical residential crack repair. Typical full-depth structural crack injection job runs about $750. Factors that move price: crack length, accessibility (finished basement requires more work), wall thickness, whether structural reinforcement is included, and number of cracks. **Comparison vs. typical surface patch:** Most contractors apply hydraulic cement or surface paint on the inside of the wall. That seals the visible crack for a season or two, but water continues to load the wall from outside, freeze-thaw re-opens the crack, and the homeowner is back where they started. Our full-depth injection fills the wall from inside to outside soil contact, addressing the actual water path. --- ### 2. Wall Crack Repair **Tagline:** Stop cracks from becoming structural failures. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/wall-crack-repair/ **What it covers:** Cracks in any wall — foundation walls, interior drywall, plaster walls, exterior brick, stucco, block walls. Anywhere a wall has cracked and the homeowner wants the cause diagnosed, not just patched. **Common signs:** Drywall cracks above doors or windows, plaster cracks in older homes, masonry stair-step cracks, exterior brick separation, recurring cracks that come back after each repair. **Methodology:** Wall cracks tell a story about what's happening below them. Diagonal cracks above doors usually trace to foundation settlement. Horizontal cracks low on a foundation wall usually trace to lateral soil pressure. Vertical cracks at the center of a wall usually trace to concrete shrinkage or rebar issues. We read the pattern, find the source, and fix the source. Then we repair the visible damage so it doesn't come back. **Repair methods:** - Crack injection (foundation walls) - Crack stitching (masonry) - Drywall taping and skim coat (interior) - Plaster repair (historic homes) - Stucco repair (exterior, see also stucco repair service) - Structural reinforcement when underlying movement is documented --- ### 3. Basement Waterproofing **Tagline:** A dry basement, guaranteed. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/basement-waterproofing/ **What it covers:** Permanent solutions for water-entry basements — interior drainage systems, sump pump installation, exterior membrane application, footer drains, vapor barriers, dehumidification. **Common signs:** Water on the basement floor, mold smell, efflorescence on walls, humid air, recurring sump pump runs, moisture under stored items, rusted appliances or HVAC. **Methods:** - **Interior perimeter drainage** — channel along the wall-floor cove that captures water entering at the joint and routes it to a sump pump. Covered by walls or finished trim. - **Exterior excavation + waterproofing membrane** — dig down to the footer, apply a peel-and-stick waterproofing membrane plus dimple drain board, install new footer drain in clean stone. The way commercial buildings are built; correctly the most durable residential solution but most disruptive. - **Sump pump systems** — primary pump plus battery backup. Brands we install: Zoeller, Liberty, Wayne, Pentair. We size pumps to actual basement square footage and historic water flow. - **EZ Breathe ventilation** — patented basement/crawl space ventilation system that removes moisture, allergens, and gases. We are certified EZ Breathe installers. - **Vapor barriers** — sealed plastic on crawl-space dirt floors and walls. **Comparison — interior drainage vs surface coating:** Surface waterproofing paint (DryLok and similar) seals the wall surface but does nothing for water continuing to load the wall from outside. Eventually the paint bubbles, the seal breaks, and water enters. Interior drainage doesn't try to stop the water — it accepts that some water will enter, captures it, and routes it out. Far more durable. **Materials:** Sika SikaProof A peel-and-stick membrane, Henry 790-11 EV liquid membrane, Mar-flex dimple drain board, Zoeller M53/M63 primary pumps, Watchdog battery backup systems, EZ Breathe ventilation units. --- ### 4. Pool Crack Repair **Tagline:** Stop the leak. Save the season. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/pool-crack-repair/ **What it covers:** Concrete pool shell cracks, gunite pool cracks, leaking pool walls and floors. Both in-ground residential pools and commercial pool work. **Common signs:** Pool water level dropping faster than evaporation, visible cracks in the pool shell, wet spots around the pool deck, settled deck near the pool wall, plaster lifting from underlying gunite. **Methodology:** Pool cracks need flexible repair material that stays sealed through summer-winter expansion/contraction cycles plus chlorine exposure. Rigid epoxy fails. We use flexible polyurethane chemical grout injected from the dry side (or via drilled ports on the wet side when access requires). Plus structural reinforcement when the underlying shell has actually moved. **Methods:** - Flexible polyurethane injection (the standard repair) - Hydraulic cement pre-seal where water flow needs stopping first - Carbon fiber strap reinforcement on shell sections that have moved - Plaster patching and color-matching to make the repair invisible --- ### 5. Concrete Floor Crack Repair **Tagline:** Flat, sealed, and strong again. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/concrete-floor-crack-repair/ **What it covers:** Basement slab cracks, garage floor cracks, driveway slab cracks, pool deck slab repair, sidewalk slab leveling, and polyurethane slab lifting for settled concrete. **Common signs:** Cracks across the slab surface, tripping hazards from raised slab edges, water entering through floor cracks, slab settlement causing doors to bind, slope changes draining water toward the house instead of away. **Methods:** - **Polyurethane slab lifting (mudjacking alternative)** — HMI-certified equipment injects expanding polyurethane foam under the settled slab to lift it back to grade. We are HMI-trained, have completed the 2-day Concrete Raising Training and the 2-day Soil Improvement Seminar, and Raf passed the 2023 HMI Polyurethane Certification Exam. - **Crack injection on slab cracks** — polyurethane for moving cracks, epoxy for static structural cracks. - **Joint sealing** — keep water out of cold joints and expansion joints. --- ### 6. Basement Bowing Wall Repair **Tagline:** Straighten the lean. Restore the structure. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/basement-bowing-wall-repair/ **What it covers:** Foundation walls that are bowing inward due to lateral soil pressure. This is a structural emergency — left untreated, a bowing wall fails catastrophically. Both block walls (most common) and poured concrete walls. **Common signs:** Horizontal crack across the middle of the wall, visible inward lean (use a level on the wall to measure), stair-step cracking in block walls, mortar joints opening, basement floor cracking parallel to the wall. **Methods:** - **Carbon fiber strap reinforcement** — Fortress Stabilization carbon fiber straps bonded vertically to the wall, anchored to the floor and sill plate. ICC-ES certified (report ESR-3815). The wall cannot bow further. Best for walls that have moved less than 2 inches. - **Stabl Wall structural strengthening system** — engineered wall reinforcement system for walls beyond carbon fiber's range. We are certified Stabl Wall installers. - **Wall straightening / Atlas Resistance Piers** — for walls that have already moved significantly, we can pull them back toward plumb using helical anchors driven from outside, before reinforcing. - **Exterior excavation + waterproofing** — addresses the cause (saturated soil pressure) while we fix the symptom. **Comparison — full-wall carbon fiber vs partial straps or wall braces:** Many contractors install carbon fiber on just the bowing section, or temporary I-beam braces. Both leave the rest of the wall unreinforced. We install full-wall carbon fiber (every 4 feet, top to bottom), which addresses the entire wall as a structural unit. Permanent, code-compliant, and unobtrusive (paint over it). --- ### 7. Exterior Crack Repair & Foundation Waterproofing **Tagline:** Fix the leak from outside. The way it actually stays fixed. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/exterior-crack-repair/ **What it covers:** Excavation-based foundation waterproofing — the original-construction-grade way to fix a leaking foundation. Dig down to the footer along the wet wall, apply waterproofing membrane plus drain board, install footer drain in clean stone, backfill properly. **When this is the right call:** When interior crack injection won't permanently stop the water (e.g. the wall is full of micro-cracks, not one big one), when the original waterproofing failed and is now letting water through the whole wall, when the homeowner is doing a finished-basement remodel and wants to eliminate water entry at the source. **Methods:** - Excavation to footer (typically 6–10 feet down) - High-pressure cleaning of the foundation wall - Crack injection from outside on any visible cracks - Application of Sika SikaProof A peel-and-stick membrane OR Henry 790-11 EV liquid membrane - Mar-flex dimple drain board installation - New 4-inch footer drain in clean stone - Filter fabric and clean backfill - Final grade restoration **Comparison — exterior vs interior approach:** Interior is faster, cheaper, less disruptive. Exterior is more durable, addresses the actual water source, prevents long-term wall deterioration. We recommend honestly based on the specific situation, not based on which is more profitable. --- ### 8. Ground Improvement & Soil Stabilization **Tagline:** Don't replace the soil. Fix it where it failed. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/ground-improvement/ **What it covers:** Failing soil under foundations, slabs, driveways. Instead of excavating and replacing soil (massive disruption + cost), we inject expanding polyurethane chemical grout to densify and stabilize the soil in place. **Common signs:** Settled foundation, sinking slab, cracked driveway, voids under concrete, water erosion under footers. **Methodology:** HMI is the leading manufacturer of polyurethane equipment for this work. We are HMI-trained and HMI-certified (2-day Soil Improvement Seminar, 2-day Concrete Raising Training, plus the 2023 HMI Polyurethane Certification Exam). The polyurethane is injected through small drilled ports, expands on contact, fills voids, and densifies surrounding soil. We measure soil density before and after with cone penetration testing. **Common applications:** - Lifting settled concrete (driveways, garage floors, sidewalks, pool decks) - Stabilizing soil under footer that has failed due to water erosion - Filling voids under slabs and crawl-space dirt floors - Backfilling settled fill behind retaining walls - Stabilizing utility trench backfill that has consolidated --- ### 9. Stucco Wall Repair **Tagline:** Seamless repairs that last. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/stucco-wall-repair/ **What it covers:** Exterior stucco wall repair on historic homes, modern stucco buildings, and stucco-over-block construction. Crack repair, water-damage repair, color-matching, and texture-matching. **Methods:** Diagnostic stucco repair — we identify why the stucco failed (water intrusion behind the stucco, building movement, freeze-thaw) and address the cause. Then we repair the stucco using period-appropriate methods (traditional three-coat for historic homes, modern synthetic for newer construction). Color and texture matching done in small test patches before committing to the visible area. --- ### 10. Drywall Repair **Tagline:** Stop the cracks at the source, not the surface. **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/services/drywall-repair/ **What it covers:** Interior drywall cracks, water-damaged drywall, settlement cracks above doors and windows, drywall replacement after waterproofing or foundation work. **Diagnostic approach:** Most drywall cracks are not actually drywall problems — they're framing or foundation problems telegraphing to the wall surface. Diagonal cracks above doors trace to settlement. Cracks at room corners trace to seasonal humidity expansion. Cracks running the length of a long wall trace to truss uplift or framing shrinkage. We diagnose the cause, fix the cause if it's structural, then repair the drywall so the crack doesn't return. **Comparison — diagnostic vs typical patch:** A typical handyman skim-coats over the crack. It looks fine for one season. The crack returns. We address what's making the wall move, then patch. Patches don't reopen because the underlying movement is gone. --- ## Service Area Details ### Fairfield County, Connecticut **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/fairfield-county-ct/ **Local phone:** 203-504-7734 **Towns covered (32):** Bethel, Black Rock, Bridgeport, Brookfield, Byram, Cos Cob, Danbury, Darien, Easton, Fairfield, Georgetown, Greenwich, Monroe, New Canaan, New Fairfield, Newtown, Norwalk, Old Greenwich, Redding, Ridgefield, Riverside, Rowayton, Sandy Hook, Shelton, Sherman, Southport, Stamford, Stratford, Trumbull, Weston, Westport, Wilton. **Featured towns:** Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, Fairfield, Westport, Ridgefield, Darien, New Canaan. **Local foundation challenges:** -

Not a primary service area — we travel for documented repair work where the homeowner specifically wants our methodology. --- ## Methodology & Inspection Process ### Inspection Process **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/inspection-process/ **Step 1 — Free on-site inspection.** Raf personally arrives at the property. No subcontracted estimator. Typically within 48 hours of the call, faster for emergencies. **Step 2 — Measurement and diagnosis.** We measure every crack with calipers (width to 0.01" precision), check wall movement against plumb with a 6-foot level, evaluate soil grade and drainage at the foundation perimeter, check moisture readings on the basement wall with a Tramex moisture meter, document visible damage with photos. **Step 3 — Root-cause analysis.** Crack pattern is interpreted against soil behavior, hydrology, foundation age, and observable structural movement. The actual problem is identified — not just the symptom. This step takes 30–60 minutes on a typical inspection. **Step 4 — Written quote on-site.** You receive a written quote during the inspection, not a follow-up email a week later. The quote specifies materials, methodology, warranty terms, and timeline. **Step 5 — Scheduling.** Typical lead time is 1–3 weeks for standard repairs, sooner for emergencies (active leak, dangerous structural movement). ### Our Methodology We make three diagnostic-first commitments: 1. **Find the cause before fixing the symptom.** Most failed repairs are correct techniques applied to the wrong cause. We diagnose first. 2. **Use manufacturer-grade materials.** No hardware-store filler. Every product we install comes from manufacturers who do not sell to DIYers and require contractor certification. 3. **Document everything.** Every repair gets photos before, during, and after. Every quote is written. Every warranty is documented. --- ## Certifications & Training **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/certifications/ **Industry credentials:** - IICRC Water Damage Restoration (WRT) — register #219098 - IICRC Fire & Smoke Restoration — register #217019 - InterNACHI cross-trained for home inspector standards - OSHA construction safety standards **Featured manufacturer certifications:** - Stabl Wall Structural Strengthening System — certified installer (2018) - Fortress Stabilization Carbon Fiber & FRP Structural Repair (ICC-ES ESR-3815) — 2023 - Emecole Metro Poured Wall Crack Repair + Slab Repair & Reinforcement — May 2026 - EZ Breathe Ventilation System — certified installer (2026) - Goldmorr AIM (Airborne Indoor Mycotoxin Removal) Protocol — applicator certification #116315137 (2024) - HMI 2-Day Concrete Raising Training (2023) - HMI 2-Day Soil Improvement Seminar (2025) - HMI 2023 Polyurethane Certification Exam (July 13, 2023) - The Concrete Protector — manufacturer training course (2023) **Continuing education:** - 20+ Sika USA continuing-education webinars on injection chemistry, joint waterproofing, CFRP structural strengthening, concrete protection, hydrophobic vs crystalline waterproofing, sheet-membrane systems, post-tensioning, and material selection (2021–2024) **Industry events:** - World of Concrete — Raf attends annually since 2002. Direct relationships with the engineers who write the structural repair standards. **Why this matters:** Raf personally holds these credentials. He is not delegating training to other staff. When a manufacturer publishes a methodology update, Raf is in the classroom for it. When a job behaves unusually, he can directly call the engineer who designed the system. --- ## Lifetime Transferable Warranty **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/lifetime-warranty/ **Coverage:** Qualifying structural repairs include foundation crack injection, carbon fiber reinforcement, Stabl Wall installation, and structural-grade waterproofing. Cosmetic repairs (drywall, paint, plaster) carry a 1-year workmanship warranty. **Lifetime:** As long as you own the home, the structural repair is warranted against re-opening and failure. **Transferable:** When you sell the home, the warranty transfers to the new owner free of charge. This is documented in writing and is often cited at closing as a value-add to the sale. **Claim process:** Call us. We come back, evaluate, and re-repair at no cost if the failure is covered by the warranty. Typical claim response: same week. **What's NOT covered:** Damage from new structural events (earthquakes, foundation modifications, additions), damage from new water sources we didn't address in the original quote, damage to areas we didn't work on. --- ## Pricing Transparency We don't publish per-job pricing because every foundation is different, but here are honest ranges from actual recent work: - **Single residential crack injection:** $400–$900 typical - **Carbon fiber strap installation (single bow point):** $700–$1,200 per strap - **Full-wall carbon fiber reinforcement (8 straps on a 32-foot wall):** $5,000–$8,000 - **Interior perimeter drainage system (full basement):** $7,000–$15,000 depending on size and complexity - **Exterior excavation + waterproofing membrane (one wall):** $8,000–$25,000 depending on depth and access - **Polyurethane slab lifting:** $5–$25 per square foot lifted, with $1,500 minimum **Financing:** 0% APR available on qualifying repairs through Hearth, Synchrony, and other lenders. Apply during inspection — instant decision. --- ## Recent Documented Projects **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/recent-projects/ We document case studies with before/after photos from real jobs. Recent featured projects (a sample): - **Hopewell Junction, NY** — leaking wall crack with carbon fiber structural reinforcement (March 2026) - **Katonah, NY** — outer corner structural crack repair - **Norwalk, CT** — old masonry repair and waterproofing - **Purchase, NY** — foundation crack restoration after a failed builder repair - **Armonk, NY** — structural crack repair (insufficient original reinforcement) - **Rye, NY** — earthquake crack repair on a 270-year-old building - **Cos Cob, CT** — structural reinforcement on an old underground cooler - **Weston, CT** — wall and slab structural reinforcement - **Norwalk, CT** — missing footer rebuild plus structural reinforcement - **Ardsley, NY** — structural wall crack repair - **Mount Kisco, NY** — basement wall crack repair plus waterproofing - **Rye, NY** — slab crack reinforcement (carbon fiber + Kevlar) - **Westport, CT** — footer repair and reinforcement - **Greenwich, CT** — leaking basement exterior excavation and waterproofing Each project page documents the problem, the solution, the materials used, and includes before/after photos. --- ## Common Questions **Q: Do you offer free inspections?** A: Yes. Free on-site inspection with no obligation to book. Written quote provided at the inspection. **Q: How fast can you come out?** A: Typically within 48 hours of the call, faster for emergencies (active leak, dangerous structural movement). Call 203-504-7734 (CT) or 914-920-2060 (NY). **Q: How long does the repair take?** A: Single crack injection: 2–4 hours. Carbon fiber reinforcement: 1 day. Interior drainage system: 2–4 days depending on basement size. Exterior excavation waterproofing: 3–10 days depending on wall length and depth. **Q: Do you offer financing?** A: Yes — 0% APR on qualifying repairs through Hearth, Synchrony, and similar lenders. Instant decision during the inspection. **Q: Is the warranty really lifetime, or is there a sneaky termination clause?** A: Lifetime as long as you own the home, transferable to the next owner when you sell. The warranty document is signed at the end of the job and stays with the property. We are still honoring warranties from 2003. **Q: Do you sub the work out?** A: No. Every job is supervised by Raf, the founder. We have a small in-house crew. We do not flip leads to other contractors. **Q: Can you fix it myself with hardware-store epoxy?** A: Honestly, you can sometimes seal a hairline non-leaking crack temporarily with hardware-store epoxy. You cannot do full-depth structural injection, you cannot install carbon fiber reinforcement, and you cannot diagnose root cause without the training. If the crack is leaking, moving, or wider than a credit card, call a professional. **Q: Why is 68% of your work fixing failed repairs?** A: Because most contractors apply hydraulic cement or surface paint to the inside of the wall and call it done. That fails predictably. Homeowners then call us. We don't blame them — the original contractor sold them a $400 patch that should have been a $1,200 root-cause repair. **Q: Do you handle insurance claims?** A: We document repairs to insurance-grade standards (photos, written quotes, methodology specs) so the homeowner can file claims. We are not an insurance billing operation — the homeowner is our customer, and we are paid by them directly. **Q: What if I'm not in CT or NY?** A: We service Boston metro for project work, and we occasionally take projects outside our core counties when the homeowner specifically wants our methodology. Call us to discuss. **Q: How is your work different from the national chains (Basement Systems, etc.)?** A: National chains are franchised — local owners apply standardized methodology that has to work everywhere. We are a regional specialist. We tune our methodology to the specific geology, climate, and housing stock of Fairfield/Westchester/Putnam/Dutchess. The chains' standardized approach works most of the time. Our regional specialization works in the cases where standardized fails. --- ## Reviews and Reputation **URL:** https://www.we-fix-cracks.com/reviews/ 5.0-star average on Google verified reviews.
