How does Scripps Ranch's climate affect this service?
Scripps Ranch foundations are 1985-2000 master-planned slab-on-grade on engineered fill, with the post-2003-Cedar-Fire rebuild stock adding a second wave of newer construction. Hillside settlement on the Aviary and Stonebridge Estates downhill perimeters is the highest-frequency call type.. 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.
