4. After the epoxy coating dries we inject the crack with a urethane grout.

Once the injection material gets behind the coating, it is forced into the void of the crack up against the dirt on the outside. This injection, once fully cured will keep water from entering the crack. All of our foundation crack repairs by injection are covered by our lifetime transferrable warranty.
