How does Pine Valley's climate affect this service?
Pine Valley foundation work is mountain-elevation (3,750 feet) rural-residential scope. Cabin and custom-home foundation work, freeze-thaw cycling considerations, post-Cedar-Fire rebuild, and Cleveland National Forest-adjacent property work define the call mix.. We account for local conditions in every job.
Should I use epoxy or polyurethane?
Epoxy bonds the two sides of the crack back into a structural unit, but only if the crack is dry and stable. Polyurethane expands when it contacts water and seals against active leaks but does not restore structural strength.
Can I just use a DIY crack kit from the hardware store?
For a hairline cosmetic crack on the inside face of a stem wall, a DIY kit is fine. For anything full-depth, anything weeping, or anything you suspect is structural, the DIY kits do not put enough product into the full depth of the crack. They seal the surface and the crack reopens behind the patch.
