Foundation crack in Tulsa, epoxy or just watch it?
Found a hairline crack in my slab last month after that dry spell, patched it with hydraulic cement but the neighbor says that's just cosmetic. Should I shell out $800 for epoxy injection now or wait and see if it widens?

Patched a hairline crack with hydraulic cement and you're asking if epoxy is worth it? That's like putting a band-aid on a paper cut and then checking for a pulse. Hairline cracks in a slab after a dry spell are super common in Tulsa, the clay here moves with moisture and that's just what it does. Epoxy is for structural issues or when water's coming through, and $800 is a lot of money to spend on something that isn't actually failing. Put a pencil line across the crack and check it next month, if it widens or steps, then call someone. Otherwise, keep the cement in the garage and spend that money on literally anything else.
