Top 3 Reasons Why Concrete Cracks
1 - Moisture can penetrate into a tiny break in concrete and due to freezing and thawing can expand into a crack that is leaking. |
2 - As foundations stabilize, any movement can cause rigid concrete to separate at these tiny breaks, then enlarging to water- |
3 - Ground remains unstable, maintaining a stress on con-crete sufficient to cause crack. |
First we grind at the surface of the wall to provide a good clean bond for our epoxies. Ports are inserted into crack from bottom to top in one foot intervals. A preliminary epoxy is applied to hold the ports in place. A special low viscosity epoxy is pressure injected throughout the crack, beginning with the lowest port and working upwards. This epoxy, which is about the same consistency as water, travels through the crack from inside to out and forms a concrete weld. The final stage involves cutting the ports flush to the wall and applying the last epoxy. The entire process can take from 1 to 3 visits to accomplish depending upon conditions. Epoxy Crack Injections are supported by a lifetime warranty which is transferable with the sale of your home. This is an added investment to your home.
