Your basement stays dry when it rains. No more shop-vacs at 2 AM. No more musty smell that won’t go away no matter how many times you run the dehumidifier.
The cracks stop growing. The water stops coming in. And you stop wondering if this is the year the problem gets worse.
You’re not just patching a crack. You’re preventing the kind of damage that drops your home value by 20% and costs five figures to fix later. The foundation stays stable. The walls stay straight. And if you ever sell, the lifetime transferable warranty goes with the house.
Del Val Basement Waterproofing is a family-run company based in Plymouth Meeting. We’ve spent nearly two decades fixing foundation problems across Montgomery County, and we know exactly what Abington’s soil and weather do to your foundation.
The freeze-thaw cycles here are brutal. Glenville silt loam on the hillslopes, Hatboro silt loam in the floodplains—these soils shift with the seasons. Add 48 inches of annual rain and temperature swings from 24°F to 85°F, and your foundation is under constant pressure.
We’re recommended by structural engineers. We’ve done thousands of installations. And every job comes with a lifetime transferable warranty because we stand behind the work.
First, we come out for a free inspection. We look at the cracks, check the drainage around your foundation, and figure out why the cracks formed in the first place. Not all cracks are the same, and the fix depends on what’s causing them.
For most residential foundation crack repair in Abington, PA, we use polyurethane or epoxy injection. We clean out the crack, inject the material under pressure, and seal it from the inside out. It stops water immediately and bonds stronger than the concrete around it.
If the crack is part of a bigger problem—like bowing walls or settlement—we’ll tell you. We’re not here to patch something that needs a different fix. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong and what it takes to make it right.
The work itself is fast. Most cracked foundation repair jobs are done in a day. You can stay in your house. And the first time it rains after we’re done, you’ll see the difference.

You get a full assessment of the crack and the surrounding foundation. We don’t just look at the symptom—we figure out what caused it. If it’s hydrostatic pressure from poor drainage, we’ll tell you. If it’s settlement from Abington’s expansive clay soil, you’ll know that too.
The repair itself includes crack injection with commercial-grade polyurethane or epoxy, depending on whether the crack is active or dormant. We seal it from the inside, so water can’t get through. If the crack is on the exterior, we excavate, waterproof, and backfill properly so the problem doesn’t come back.
Every job comes with a lifetime transferable warranty. That’s not a 10-year patch job warranty. It’s lifetime. If the crack leaks again, we come back and fix it. And if you sell the house, the warranty transfers to the next owner.
We also handle leaking basement wall repair in Abington, PA, because cracks are usually just one piece of a bigger water problem. If your basement’s wet, we’ll find out why and fix it right the first time.
Most homeowners spend between $300 and $800 for small crack sealing. If you’re dealing with multiple cracks or a more serious structural issue, costs can run between $2,200 and $8,100 depending on the scope of work.
The price depends on how many cracks you have, how long they are, and whether they’re active or dormant. Active cracks are still moving, which means there’s an underlying issue like settlement or hydrostatic pressure. Those cost more to fix because you’re addressing the cause, not just sealing the surface.
We give you a free estimate up front. No surprises. You’ll know exactly what the job costs before we start, and we’ll explain why it costs what it does. If there’s a cheaper way to do it right, we’ll tell you. If there’s not, we’ll tell you that too.
You can try, but it usually doesn’t work for long. Store-bought crack fillers sit on the surface. They don’t inject under pressure, so they don’t bond with the concrete or stop water from coming through under hydrostatic pressure.
Professional foundation crack repair in Abington, PA uses injection methods that fill the entire crack from the inside out. We’re not just covering it up—we’re sealing it at the source. The materials we use are commercial-grade and designed to flex with the concrete as temperatures change.
If the crack is hairline and bone dry, a DIY fix might hold for a while. But if you’re seeing water, or if the crack is wider than a credit card, you’re better off getting it done right the first time. Otherwise, you’ll spend money twice—once on the product that didn’t work, and again when you call us to fix it.
Abington’s soil and weather are the main culprits. The freeze-thaw cycle here is relentless. When the ground freezes, it expands. When it thaws, it contracts. That movement puts constant pressure on your foundation, and over time, cracks form.
The soil doesn’t help. Glenville silt loam and Manor loam drain well, but Hatboro silt loam holds water. If your house sits on poorly drained soil, water builds up around the foundation and pushes against the walls. That’s called hydrostatic pressure, and it’s one of the most common reasons for leaking basement wall repair in Abington, PA.
Older homes also deal with undersized concrete blocks and rock foundations that weren’t built to modern standards. Add in 48 inches of rain a year and summer thunderstorms that dump water fast, and your foundation is under constant stress. Cracks aren’t a matter of if—they’re a matter of when.
Most jobs are done in a day. If you’ve got a few cracks that need injection, we’re usually in and out in a few hours. Larger jobs—like exterior foundation crack repair in Abington, PA that requires excavation—can take a couple of days depending on access and weather.
You don’t have to move out. The process is minimally invasive. We’re not tearing up your whole basement or ripping out finished walls unless the damage is behind them. You can go about your day while we work.
The repair itself cures fast. Polyurethane starts working immediately. Epoxy takes a little longer to fully harden, but you’ll see results the first time it rains. No more water. No more wet spots. Just a dry basement that stays that way.
Not if they’re fixed correctly. If we inject the crack with polyurethane or epoxy and address the underlying cause—like drainage issues or settlement—the crack stays sealed. That’s why we offer a lifetime transferable warranty. If it leaks again, we come back and make it right.
But here’s the thing: if you only patch the crack and ignore why it formed, you’ll get new cracks. That’s why we always inspect the whole foundation, not just the visible damage. If water is pooling around your foundation because your gutters are dumped too close to the house, we’ll tell you. If the soil is settling unevenly, you’ll know that too.
Foundation crack repair in Abington, PA isn’t just about sealing what you see. It’s about preventing the next crack from forming. Fix the cause, seal the crack, and you’re done. Skip the cause, and you’ll be calling someone again in a few years.
Not always, but they shouldn’t be ignored. Hairline cracks are common and usually cosmetic. Wider cracks—especially horizontal ones or cracks that are growing—can signal a bigger structural problem like bowing walls or foundation settlement.
If you’re seeing water come through the cracks, that’s a sign of hydrostatic pressure. If the cracks are wider at the top than the bottom, that’s settlement. If the walls are bowing inward, that’s serious and needs immediate attention. Left unchecked, foundation problems can lead to walls collapsing or major structural damage to the house above.
The best thing you can do is get a free inspection. We’ll tell you if it’s something you need to fix now or if you can monitor it. We’re not going to scare you into a repair you don’t need, but we’re also not going to tell you it’s fine if it’s not. You’ll get a straight answer and a clear plan for what to do next.
