Aging combined sewer infrastructure causes basement backups during heavy storms throughout the neighborhood
Multi-family conversions of older homes often have inadequate drainage for the increased water usage and building load
Our Process
How We Handle Crack Repair in Westwood
Four steps from emergency to restored — with local expertise at every stage.
Crack Assessment
When Westwood residents call, we inspect your foundation inside and out to identify crack types — hairline, stair-step, horizontal, or vertical — and determine the underlying cause. We check for active water intrusion, bowing walls, and soil pressure to recommend the right repair method.
Injection Repair
At your Westwood property, for most cracks, we use epoxy or polyurethane injection to fill the crack from the inside out. Epoxy creates a structural bond stronger than the concrete itself. Polyurethane foam expands to seal actively leaking cracks and remains flexible to accommodate minor movement.
Structural Reinforcement
For Westwood homes, for bowing or shifting walls, we install carbon fiber straps or wall anchor systems to stabilize the foundation and prevent further movement. Carbon fiber is incredibly strong, low-profile, and can be painted over for a clean finish.
Waterproofing & Warranty
Your Westwood property is our priority. after repairs are complete, we apply waterproof coatings and address any drainage issues contributing to the problem. Every repair is backed by our written warranty. We test the repair with water to verify a complete seal before we leave.
