Backcountry foundations deal with rock outcrops, decomposed granite, post-burn slope instability, and freeze-thaw at higher elevations. Pine Valley work is bread-and-butter post-and-pier and cripple wall on older raised homes; access and travel time are the bigger schedule constraints.. 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. If the crack is dry and the foundation is not actively moving, we use epoxy. If the crack is wet, weeping, or active, we use polyurethane and address the underlying movement separately.

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.
