General Information

If you ever had the misfortune of trying to repair a leaking crack in your foundation wall, this will be of interest to you.

Cracks are usually caused by settling or movement after a house is constructed and commonly appear at the corners of windows or any other place where the foundation has been notched, and often the slightest amount of rainfall will start the cracks leaking.

If you were to investigate the conventional method of repair - excavating, veeing-out and packing with a quick setting cement - you would find that it is quite expensive and a great deal of work.

There is a better way! For years now, engineers and architects have known about epoxy injection and its effectiveness in repairing cracked concrete. It has been proven worldwide in various applications including the repair of power dams, support pylons for bridges and underground parking garages. The average home owner had been left out in the dark, until recent years when the growth of epoxy injection into the domestic market revolutionized the industry.

A highly technical, yet relatively inexpensive repair procedure, epoxy injection is performed from the inside of your home, eliminating the destruction of landscaping. In a two-step procedure, the crack is prepared in such a way that the injection process actually fills the crack completely with liquid epoxy, from inside to outside, ensuring 100 percent coverage within the crack. This method literally glues the wall back together, preventing water leakage and actually restoring structural strength.
