Most homeowners have encountered the frustrating problem of cracks in basement walls and stubborn water leaks after a heavy rain.
Cracks can be found in practically all basements. In most cases, the common wall cracks pose no structural concerns and the problem is the seepage of water. More on the causes and types of basement cracks.
The main purpose of concrete crack injection is to permanently fill the full length and depth of the crack to keep water out. Then, water cannot deteriorate the concrete and widen the crack further.
Until recently, concrete crack injection required cumbersome and expensive high-pressure injection equipment. Diagonal holes had to be drilled into concrete to intersect the crack and insert injection ports. This method is still used today but only on large concrete structures like dams and bridges. The newer methods are much more affordable for the residential customer.
