How to Measure a Foundation Crack

Which DIY Concrete Crack Repair Kit Do I Need?

Some concrete cracks are uniform in width and others may range from being wider at top than the bottom or vice versa. It is important to measure the smallest width of the crack as the injection material needs to be able to penetrate this portion of the crack. A quarter coin is approximately 1/16" thick, so you can use one as a guide.
