Service Description
Concrete injections are a repair method used to fix cracks, voids, and leaks in concrete structures. This method involves injecting a liquid material into the affected area, which hardens and bonds with the surrounding concrete to form a strong and durable repair.
There are several types of concrete injections, including:
Epoxy injections: Epoxy is a two-part adhesive that is mixed together and injected into the crack. It fills the crack completely and bonds with the concrete to provide a strong and durable structural repair.
Polyurethane injections: Polyurethane is a flexible foam that is injected into the crack. It expands to fill the crack and bonds with the concrete to provide a strong and flexible repair.
Acrylic injections: Acrylic is a water-based polymer that is injected into the crack. It fills the crack and hardens quickly to provide a water stop that will reactivate if exposed to moisture.
The process of concrete injections involves several steps, including:
Cleaning and preparing the affected area.
Drilling holes into the concrete to access the crack or void.
Inserting an injection port into the hole.
Injecting the liquid material into the port until the crack or void is completely filled.
Removing the injection port and filling the hole with a sealant.
Concrete injections are a cost-effective and efficient way to repair concrete structures and prevent further damage. They are commonly used in the construction industry for concrete repair, restoration, and maintenance. Professional concrete repair contractors are typically hired to perform the injections to ensure proper technique and a successful repair.
