Not every crack means you need piering. We identify which cracks are cosmetic and which are structural, then seal the structural ones against Burleson's wet-dry clay cycle for good.
Most foundation cracks in Burleson start the same way: the slab or wall shifts slightly as the clay beneath it swells or shrinks, and the concrete cracks along its weakest point rather than bending. A crack that's wider at one end than the other, or that runs diagonally from a door or window corner, is usually structural rather than surface shrinkage.
We inject either epoxy or polyurethane resin directly into the crack, depending on whether the crack is actively taking on water. Epoxy bonds the concrete back into a single structural unit and is used on dry, load-bearing cracks. Polyurethane expands to fill the void and is the better choice for cracks with active moisture intrusion, since it seals even as water is present.
A single crack injection typically runs $400–$800. Homes with multiple cracks, or cracks combined with a drainage issue, run $1,200–$1,800 for the full scope. You'll get an exact number in writing before any work starts.
If the elevation survey shows more than about half an inch of differential settlement near the crack, sealing it alone won't hold — the section needs piering first, then the crack gets sealed as part of the same visit. We'll tell you plainly if that's the case rather than selling a repair that won't last.
Usually not on its own. Hairline shrinkage cracks under about 1/16" are common and typically cosmetic. We'll measure it during the free inspection and tell you honestly if it needs anything.
You can, but a DIY sealant won't tell you whether the crack is still active or how deep it goes, and it can make a professional repair harder to bond to later. Worth getting the free read first.
Not if the underlying movement is addressed. That's why we check elevation before treating any crack — sealing a symptom without fixing the cause just means it reopens.
