How does San Ysidro's climate affect this service?

South County housing splits between older Chula Vista and National City stock with post-and-pier issues and newer Otay Ranch master-planned slabs with perimeter settlement. San Ysidro work usually requires permit and engineer coordination with the city building department.. 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.
