Foundation Crack Repair Systems

Have you noticed foundation cracks in your home or basement? These cracks are unsightly, but they could be even worse than that. Foundation cracks can expand over time and could become a major problem, reducing the structural integrity of your home. Some homeowners and business owners are tempted to ignore foundation cracks, such as hairline cracks, horizontal cracks, and basement wall cracks, but we don’t recommend that.

You should at least have your foundation wall cracks or foundation cracks examined by a professional. Some cracks start out as minor annoyances, but water can get into the cracks, expanding them, and negatively impacting your home’s safety and value. If you are worried about your foundation’s stability due to such cracks, you can get help from a basement crack repair specialist in the Kansas City area.

Polyurethane Injections or Resin Injections

Crack injection systems are designed to penetrate the full depth and length of cracks in concrete walls and floors. The basic method of repair is to install plastic ports over the cracks, and then apply a coating of epoxy over the entire crack prior to injection. Once the coating has cured either epoxy or polyurethane can be pressure injected.

Epoxy resins are injected to regain structural integrity of broken concrete in conjunction with other wall repair systems. Polyurethane resins are injected to stop water intrusion and create a flexible seal in broken concrete and in larger voids.
