You’re not looking for a temporary patch. You need your basement foundation crack repair to actually hold up through Pennsylvania winters, spring thaw, and summer storms.
When we repair foundation cracks, you get a basement that doesn’t flood when it rains. No more shop-vacs at 2 AM. No more musty smell creeping upstairs. No more wondering if that crack is getting worse every time you walk downstairs.
Upper Moreland homes deal with clay-heavy soil and temperature swings that make foundations shift. That’s why our cracked foundation repair approach addresses what’s causing the problem, not just what you’re seeing on the wall. You’re protecting your home’s value and avoiding the kind of structural damage that turns a $500 fix into a $15,000 nightmare.
Del Val Basement Waterproofing is a family-run operation based in Plymouth Meeting. We’ve spent over 15 years working on homes throughout Montgomery County, and we’ve seen every type of foundation crack Upper Moreland basements can throw at us.
We’re not the biggest waterproofing company in Pennsylvania. We’re the one that shows up, assesses your specific situation, and tells you exactly what needs to happen. No upselling. No scare tactics about your house falling down. Just honest residential foundation crack repair that comes with a lifetime transferable warranty.
Your neighbors in Upper Moreland have older homes with foundations that were poured decades ago. We understand how these structures behave, what fails first, and how to fix it so it doesn’t come back.
First, we come out and look at your foundation. Not every crack means your house is falling apart, and we’ll tell you the difference. We identify whether you’re dealing with settlement cracks, hydrostatic pressure, or structural movement.
For most basement foundation crack repair in Upper Moreland, PA, we use polyurethane or epoxy injection. We clean out the crack, inject the material under pressure so it fills the entire depth, and seal it from the inside. If you’ve got exterior foundation crack repair needs, we excavate down to the foundation wall, apply waterproof membrane, and make sure water can’t get through.
The process is non-invasive for interior work. You can stay in your house. We’re usually done in a day for standard repairs. You’re not dealing with weeks of construction or contractors tracking mud through your kitchen.
After the repair, you get documentation, warranty information, and a foundation that’s structurally sound. If water was coming through that crack, it won’t anymore.

You get a full assessment of your foundation’s condition. We don’t just patch the crack you called about and leave. We check for other developing issues, drainage problems, and signs of ongoing movement.
Your repair includes the appropriate injection material for your specific crack type, professional-grade sealant, and our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System if hydrostatic pressure is causing your leaking basement wall repair needs. Upper Moreland gets about 38 inches of rain and 28 inches of snow annually, and all that water has to go somewhere. If it’s pushing against your foundation, we address that pressure.
We also include our lifetime transferable warranty. That means if you sell your house, the warranty goes with it. It’s not some prorated thing that loses value over time. It’s full coverage, and it tells potential buyers that your foundation was fixed correctly by a professional foundation crack repair contractor.
You’re also getting recommendations from structural engineers who trust our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System. It’s not outdated French drain technology. It’s a modern approach that actually works in Pennsylvania soil conditions.
Most foundation crack repairs run between $250 and $800 per crack for straightforward fixes. If you’re dealing with structural issues, bowing walls, or multiple cracks from settlement, you’re looking at $250 to $2,000 per crack depending on severity.
The cost depends on crack size, location, what’s causing it, and whether we’re doing interior or exterior foundation crack repair. A hairline crack from normal settling costs less than a horizontal crack that’s letting water pour in during storms.
We give you a free estimate after we look at your foundation. You’ll know exactly what it costs before we start, and there’s no pressure to decide on the spot. Most Upper Moreland homeowners find that fixing cracks early saves them thousands compared to waiting until there’s structural damage.
Interior crack injection usually takes a few hours to a full day depending on how many cracks we’re repairing. You can stay in your house during the work. We’re not tearing up your basement or making it unlivable.
Exterior foundation crack repair takes longer because we’re excavating around your foundation. That’s typically a 2-3 day job depending on access, soil conditions, and how much of the exterior wall needs waterproofing.
Weather affects exterior work, especially in Upper Moreland where we get significant rain and snow. We don’t excavate in pouring rain or frozen ground. For interior repairs, weather doesn’t matter. We can work year-round and you’ll have a sealed foundation by the end of the day.
Yes, if water is coming through the crack itself. We inject polyurethane or epoxy that expands and seals the entire crack from inside the wall. Water can’t get through a properly injected crack.
But if you’ve got water coming from other sources—floor-wall joints, poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure—fixing the crack alone won’t solve your leaking basement wall repair needs. That’s why we assess your entire foundation and drainage situation during the estimate.
Upper Moreland’s clay soil and high water table mean many homes need both crack repair and improved drainage. We’ll tell you if that’s your situation. Some homeowners just need the cracks sealed. Others benefit from adding our Sub Floor Pressure Relief System to handle the water pressure that caused the cracks in the first place.
Not always. Hairline vertical cracks are common in concrete foundations and usually result from normal settling. They’re not structural emergencies, but you should seal them before water intrusion causes bigger problems.
Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in block foundations, and cracks wider than a quarter-inch are more concerning. These can indicate soil pressure, foundation movement, or structural issues that need immediate attention from a residential foundation crack repair contractor.
The key is getting someone who knows foundations to actually look at it. We’ve seen homeowners panic over minor cracks and ignore serious ones because they didn’t know the difference. A proper assessment tells you whether you need a simple repair or more extensive foundation work. Most cracks we see in Upper Moreland are fixable without major construction.
Our foundation crack repair includes a lifetime transferable warranty. That means if the repair fails, we come back and fix it at no cost. If you sell your house, the warranty transfers to the new owner.
This isn’t common in the industry. Many contractors offer limited warranties that expire after a few years or don’t transfer when you sell. We stand behind our work because we use proper materials and techniques that last.
The warranty covers the repair itself—if the crack reopens or starts leaking again, we handle it. It doesn’t cover new cracks in different locations or damage from events outside normal wear. But for the specific cracked foundation repair we perform, you’re covered for as long as you own the home and beyond.
Interior injection is faster, less expensive, and works well for most cracks. We inject from inside your basement, seal the crack through the full wall thickness, and you’re done in a day. This handles about 90% of the foundation crack repair situations we see in Upper Moreland, PA.
Exterior foundation crack repair makes sense when you’ve got significant water pressure against the foundation, multiple cracks in the same area, or deteriorating exterior waterproofing. We excavate, repair the crack from outside, apply waterproof membrane, and improve drainage. It’s more thorough but costs more and takes longer.
We’ll recommend what actually makes sense for your situation. Some contractors push exterior work because it’s more profitable. We do interior repairs when they’ll work and only suggest excavation when there’s a real reason for it. Your foundation gets fixed correctly either way.
