What is foundation crack repair?
Foundation crack repair seals a crack in your concrete foundation wall so water and soil gas stop coming through. The most common method is polyurethane (or epoxy) injection, where a flexible resin is pumped into the full depth of the crack and cures into a watertight seal that flexes with minor movement.
How much does foundation crack repair cost in Regina?
Minor crack repair by polyurethane injection typically costs $500 to $1,500 in Regina. If you have multiple cracks plus drainage work, the moderate range is $2,200 to $8,100. Cracks caused by active settlement may need piering, which is a larger project. See the full cost hub.

Are foundation cracks serious?
Hairline vertical cracks are often cosmetic. Horizontal cracks, widening cracks, and stair-step cracks in block or brick, plus any bowing, signal real structural movement and should be assessed promptly. In Regina the cause is almost always gumbo clay pushing or settling, so a crack is often a symptom of a bigger soil problem.
Why crack injection alone often is not enough in Regina
Injection is the right fix for a leaking, stable crack. But Regina's expansive clay keeps moving with every wet-dry and freeze-thaw cycle. If the soil is still shifting, a sealed crack can simply reopen or a new one can form nearby. That is why we assess the cause first. Sometimes you need injection. Sometimes you need piles to stop the movement, then sealing.
Our crack repair process
- On-site assessment of the crack, the wall, and moisture conditions.
- Diagnosis: leak-only, or a symptom of settlement or lateral pressure.
- Polyurethane or epoxy injection for the full depth of stable cracks.
- If movement is active, an engineered piering or wall-reinforcement plan.
- Written warranty on workmanship.
Frequently asked
How long does a foundation crack injection last in Regina?
When the crack is non-structural and properly injected full-depth, polyurethane and epoxy repairs are typically warranted long-term. If gumbo clay movement reopens or widens the crack, structural reinforcement is needed in addition.
Can I inject a foundation crack myself?
DIY kits seal surface moisture only. They rarely achieve full-depth fill, and they cannot diagnose whether the crack signals dangerous soil movement, which is common in Regina. A professional assessment is strongly recommended.
