Crack Injection
WE ARE YOUR CRACK INJECTION SPECIALISTS
Two-part crack injection products are applied by skilled professionals, trained at detecting water leaks. Any type of cracking within a building indicates that a concrete structure has been forced to absorb the energy of some stress.
Remedial Property Solutions Brisbane offers specific repair options where a leaking crack can be quickly and securely sealed. Crack injection is commonly incorporated as part of a remedial waterproofing system where topical or negative pressure membranes are included as part of the complete system.
The team at Remedial Property Solutions will identify the crack and select the appropriate injection method using unique industry techniques. There are two types of injection systems that Remedial Property Solutions use depending on the type of crack. The first is an epoxy injection system used for a non-active (not leaking) that restores the structural integrity of the concrete. The second system is for active (leaking) crack that requires the use of a polyurethane injection system that reacts with water, forming a watertight seal within the concrete crack.
Common applications for crack injection
- Basements or cellars
- Below-ground carparks
- Retaining walls
- Concrete water tanks or water reservoirs
- Cracks in concrete of all types (floors and walls)
Our team uses three main techniques for injecting concrete cracks
High-pressure packer injection
Syringe or gravity injection
Paste-on packer injection
