Foundation wall crack repair in Metro Detroit: what to expect

Cracks in basement walls are common in Metro Detroit. Many thin vertical cracks in poured walls come from concrete shrinkage and mainly cause leaks. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in block, and cracks that widen or shift out of plane can signal pressure or settlement and need a closer look.

Leaking cracks in poured walls are usually sealed by injecting polyurethane or epoxy from the inside. Structural cracks may call for carbon fiber straps, wall anchors or other repairs, and block walls are handled differently than poured walls.

If you are unsure whether a crack is structural, a foundation inspection is the right first step.

What a proper job includes

  • Crack mapping with width, length and direction noted
  • An opinion on whether the crack is structural or only leaking
  • Injection with polyurethane or epoxy for poured walls
  • Reinforcement where the crack is structural
  • Surface cleanup and sealing
  • Written warranty against leaks for the treated crack
  • Advice on gutters, downspouts and grading to reduce pressure on the wall

What drives the price

  • Number and length of cracks
  • Wall type: poured concrete or block
  • Leak repair only, or structural reinforcement
  • Access around finished walls or mechanicals
  • Exterior excavation if the crack is sealed from outside
  • Permit and engineering when reinforcement is needed

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Sealing a non-structural leaking crack is often an ordinary repair. Reinforcing a structural crack alters structural parts, so expect a building permit from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit), and possibly an engineer's design.

Basement waterproofing is a Michigan Maintenance and Alteration Contractor trade, and structural work falls under the Residential Builder license. Check the license on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes

  1. Ask whether each crack is structural and how they decided.
  2. Compare materials: polyurethane, epoxy or reinforcement.
  3. Get quotes that list each crack and its treatment.
  4. Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
  5. Read the warranty terms for the treated cracks.

Common questions

Wall Crack Repair FAQ

Many thin vertical cracks in poured walls are shrinkage cracks that are not structural but may leak. Wide, growing or horizontal cracks should be evaluated.
Polyurethane is often used to stop leaks because it flexes, while epoxy is used when a structural bond is needed. Ask which the contractor recommends and why.
Small non-structural cracks can sometimes be sealed with DIY kits, but horizontal or widening cracks need a professional evaluation.
Simple leak sealing often does not, but structural reinforcement usually does. Confirm with your local building department.
Cracks usually leak when the soil outside is saturated, such as after snowmelt or heavy storms. A crack that stays dry in summer can still leak in spring.
