Foundation Crack Repair Company & Contractor Serving Shreveport, LA
Pelican Foundation Repair is a Shreveport-based foundation crack repair contractor that inspects the crack, identifies the structural or cosmetic cause, and applies the correct repair method — not a one-size-fits-all patch.
Whether the crack is in a poured concrete wall, a block foundation, or a basement slab, our crews handle the diagnosis and the repair as one visit whenever possible.
We work across Shreveport, Bossier City, Haughton, and Greenwood, and our trucks are stocked for both epoxy and polyurethane injection so the right material goes into the crack the first time.
Concrete Foundation Crack Repair for Lasting Structural Stability
Our concrete foundation crack repair services address a wide range of conditions, including settlement cracks, shrinkage cracks, diagonal cracks, and structural concrete damage. Depending on the severity of the issue, repairs may involve epoxy injection to restore structural bonding, polyurethane foam injection to stop active water leaks, or reinforcement systems that strengthen weakened foundation walls.
For homes experiencing differential settlement, recurring cracks, or movement-related damage, we may recommend additional stabilization measures alongside crack repair. Addressing the underlying cause helps reduce the likelihood of future cracking while preserving the overall integrity of the structure.
Every repair begins with a detailed inspection because no two foundation cracks develop for the same reason. Our goal is to provide a repair solution that delivers long-term performance rather than a temporary cosmetic improvement.

Whether your home is near Downtown Shreveport, close to the Louisiana Boardwalk, or out toward Barksdale Air Force Base, our crews know how the local soil and water table around the Red River and Cross Lake tend to affect foundations differently block by block — which helps us diagnose cracks faster on the first visit.
Exterior & Interior Foundation Crack Repair From Outside
Some cracks are best repaired from outside the foundation wall, especially when there’s no interior access or when the goal is to stop water before it ever reaches the concrete. Exterior foundation crack repair typically involves excavating along the wall, applying a waterproof membrane or sealant directly over the crack, and improving drainage at that section before backfilling.
Interior injection is faster and less invasive, which is why most homeowners start there. But for foundation crack repair from outside, especially on a wall with a history of leaking, addressing it at the source — where water meets concrete — often gives a longer-lasting result than an interior patch alone.
We’ll walk you through both options during your inspection and explain which one fits your specific crack, your budget, and how the home is graded.

Basement Foundation Crack Repair
A basement wall is in constant contact with surrounding soil and groundwater, so a crack there is more likely to be an active leak path than a crack in an exposed exterior wall.
For basement crack repair, we inspect both the interior crack and the exterior grading and drainage. Often, a basement crack repair lasts longer when it’s paired with a drainage fix outside — regrading soil away from the foundation or extending a downspout — so the wall isn’t fighting the same water pressure that caused the original crack.
Our Foundation Crack Repair Process
Every foundation crack is different, which is why we begin with a detailed inspection rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all repair. Our goal is to identify the underlying cause of the crack before selecting the most effective repair solution.
Comprehensive Foundation Inspection
We evaluate crack width, direction, structural movement, moisture intrusion, drainage conditions, and soil settlement. This allows us to determine whether the crack is cosmetic, structural, or related to hydrostatic pressure.
Choosing the Right Repair Method
Based on our findings, we may recommend epoxy injection, polyurethane injection, carbon fiber reinforcement, exterior foundation crack repair, waterproofing improvements, or additional stabilization if foundation settlement is present.
Professional Repair & Final Evaluation
After completing the repair, we verify that the crack has been properly sealed, structural integrity has been restored where applicable, and the foundation is protected against future moisture intrusion. We also provide recommendations to help minimize future foundation movement.

Foundation Leak Repair & Cracks in Foundation Walls
A foundation wall crack that’s letting in water is a sign that pressure from outside is pushing moisture through the concrete, and over time that moisture can compromise the wall’s structural integrity, encourage mold growth, and damage anything stored in the basement.
For active foundation leak repair, we typically use polyurethane foam injection. Unlike epoxy, polyurethane expands to fill voids and creates a flexible, waterproof seal — ideal for a crack that’s actively weeping or seeping water. If the crack is dry and purely structural, epoxy is usually the better cure because it bonds rigidly and can help restore some of the wall’s original strength.
We also address cracks in foundation walls that aren’t leaking yet but show staining, efflorescence (the white chalky residue water leaves behind), or dampness nearby — these are early warning signs worth sealing before the next heavy rain.
Frequently asked questions
Most foundation crack repairs in Shreveport cost between $400 and $1,500 for epoxy or polyurethane injection. Cracks needing carbon fiber reinforcement or excavation can cost more. A free inspection gives you an exact number for your specific crack.
Yes, a cracked foundation can almost always be repaired. Stable cracks are sealed with epoxy or polyurethane, while cracks caused by ongoing structural movement are reinforced with carbon fiber or piers before sealing to keep the repair from failing again.
The best epoxy for foundation crack repair is a structural-grade injection epoxy designed specifically for concrete, rather than a general-purpose hardware store sealant. Professional-grade epoxy bonds more completely and restores more of the wall's original strength.
Yes, we offer exterior foundation crack repair, including excavation, exterior sealing, and drainage correction when needed. This approach works well for cracks where the cause is clearly tied to outside water and soil pressure.
A properly repaired foundation crack can last for the life of the home, especially when the underlying cause — like poor drainage or settlement — is addressed alongside the crack itself. Sealing a crack without fixing the cause can shorten that lifespan significantly.
Usually not, for the same reason most foundation damage isn't covered: insurers expect homeowners to maintain against gradual soil movement on their own. Your best chance at coverage is documenting a clear, sudden cause — and your agent is the only one who can confirm it for your specific policy.
A foundation crack repair kit can work for small, stable hairline cracks, but it won't address cracks caused by structural movement. If the crack is wider than a quarter-inch or growing, a professional inspection is the safer first step.
Foundation cracks can develop from soil settlement, expansive clay soils, poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure, shrinking concrete, tree root activity, changing moisture levels, or normal structural aging. Identifying the underlying cause is just as important as repairing the visible crack to help prevent future damage.
