Not all foundation cracks are equal. BaseWorks identifies what each crack means structurally, selects the right injection material, and seals it permanently. Fixed-price contracts, no upselling.
UNDERSTANDING CRACKS
Effective foundation crack repair Toronto starts with correctly reading the crack. The direction, width, location, and moisture state of a crack each tell a different structural story. A vertical crack in poured concrete running from top to bottom with no lateral offset is typically a shrinkage crack from curing - common, low urgency, but worth sealing to prevent water entry. A horizontal crack in a block wall is a different matter entirely: it indicates bending stress from lateral soil pressure and should be assessed by a structural engineer.
BaseWorks conducts a hands-on assessment of every foundation crack repair Toronto project before recommending any repair method. We measure crack width at multiple points, check for lateral displacement, probe for moisture, and look at crack history if the homeowner can provide it. Only after that assessment do we determine whether injection alone is appropriate or whether structural reinforcement should accompany the repair.

PRICING
Foundation crack repair Toronto injection pricing depends on crack length, width, access, and the material required. Most injection repairs are priced per crack and completed in a single appointment.
BaseWorks does not price foundation crack repair Toronto by phone. A free assessment is required to provide an accurate quote - because crack width, length, access from interior or exterior, and moisture condition all affect the price. Our written fixed-price quotes include all labour, materials, and surface preparation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers to what Toronto homeowners ask most about crack injection.
Foundation crack repair Toronto is warranted for: horizontal cracks (structural concern, always needs repair), cracks wider than 3mm, cracks actively leaking water, stair-step cracks in block or brick walls indicating settlement, and any crack that has grown measurably. Hairline shrinkage cracks in poured concrete under 1mm are generally low priority and can be monitored.
Epoxy injection restores structural bond across the crack - it bonds as strong as or stronger than the original concrete once cured. Use for dry cracks in structural walls. Polyurethane injection expands to fill and seal cracks that are wet or actively leaking - it creates a watertight seal but does not restore structural strength. BaseWorks selects the right material for your specific crack condition.
Most foundation crack repair Toronto appointments are completed in 2 to 6 hours per crack depending on length, width, and access. Injection ports are typically installed every 8 to 12 inches along the crack. The material cures within 24 to 48 hours of injection. The repaired area is waterproof within hours for polyurethane, and at full structural strength in 24 to 48 hours for epoxy.
Injection-based foundation crack repair Toronto does not require a City of Toronto building permit in most cases. It is a material repair to an existing foundation element. If crack repair is part of a larger structural project, permits may be required for the overall project. BaseWorks advises on permit requirements at the assessment stage.
Properly injected foundation crack repair Toronto is permanent for the repaired crack. New cracks can form adjacent to the original repair if the underlying cause - soil pressure, water pressure, settlement - is not addressed. BaseWorks identifies and recommends addressing root causes alongside crack repair to prevent recurrence.
Foundation crack repair Toronto injection pricing typically runs $500 to $2,000 per crack depending on length and access. BaseWorks provides written fixed-price quotes after a free assessment. The quote covers labour, materials, and surface preparation. No hidden costs.
