Crack Injection:
A Permanent Solution for Stopping Leaks |
| |
| As most homeowners with
poured-in-place concrete foundations can attest: Cracks in
basement walls are a fact of life. |
| These cracks, due to drying
shrinkage, thermal movement, and other causes, usually are minor
and result in few problems. But over time, even minor cracks can
grow larger and cause big headaches, such as loss of structural
integrity or, more commonly, water leakage. |
 |
The good news is that in most cases homeowners can now have
these cracks fixed permanently—without the need for costly,
disruptive excavation—using low-pressure injection of epoxy or
polyurethane foam repair materials.
The whole purpose is to fill the crack, from front to back. For basement walls, low-pressure
injection is the best way to ensure that the crack is completely
filled. This method is effective for filling
cracks 0.002 to 1 inch wide in walls up to 12 inches thick. It
can also be used to fill cracks in concrete floors and ceilings.
