Crack Injections
Cracks in a home's foundation is a fact of
life, especially in houses with a poured concrete foundation.
These are usually small hairline cracks that are caused by the
concrete shrinking during drying or thermal movement. These cracks
are not initially a cause for concern but over time they can begin
to widen and that is when the problems can start allowing a
pathway for water to enter the home.
There are many solutions for repairing
foundation cracks that can involve costly and messy excavation
around the property. But there is another method that can
permanently repair these cracks that does not involve digging.
This method is known as low pressure crack injection. This
technique is considered reliable, cost effective and in most cases
permanent.
Crack injection process involves injecting,
at low pressure, either an epoxy or polyurethane material into the
basement crack. Whether epoxy or polyurethane is used will depend
on the nature of the crack, the wall thickness as well as other
factors. Once the injected material is cured the crack is sealed.
