Leaking pipe penetrations can also be filled
with this process.
A very thin crack with signs of
water leakage.
How does the repair work?
Some surface preparation Is necessary so that a surface sealer
may be applied over the entire crack as well as ports which will be
used to inject the urethane.
Fortunately, there is a permanent solution involving low pressure
urethane injection. This process fills the entire depth of the crack.
Anything from a hairline and up to a half inch wide crack can be
filled.
Caulking over the crack will not stop a leak and does nothing
to keep the crack from worsening.
Cracks often start at cut aways
like this window.
Cracks in poured concrete walls can let in water, water vapor and even
harmful radon gas. Moisture on the walls can also promote the growth
of molds.
Here is the same crack with sealer and ports
applied.
The urethane can now be injected starting with the bottom port,
filling each one until the liquid begins to show at the port above it,
indicating that the crack has been filled to that level, as well as the
entire depth along with any voids located within the wall.
In this instance you can see the expanding nature of
the urethane as it is forced up and out of the corner
from which it all started.
This crack is now permanently sealed.
Depending upon your needs the epoxy
seal can be left on or removed leaving
only the bare wall.
