Pro Seal Experts: How Do We Seal Cracks
9 Types of Cracks in Foundation We Deal with
we must identify the type of crack you are struggling with. Our expert technicians will inspect whether it’s a—
Vertical Cracks
Vertical cracks in foundations are less risky than its counterpart, horizontal cracks. These cracks don’t pose any structural threats and are mostly seen in basements.
Solution: Crack injection with polyurethane
Horizontal Cracks
Horizontal cracks in basement foundations are typed as serious foundation cracks. Unbalanced soil, hydrostatic water pressure, etc., can cause horizontal cracks in basement areas.
Solution: Concrete mix, patching compound, and crack injection
Diagonal Cracks
At a 30-45 degree angle of vertical line, diagonal cracks are serious and threatening to the foundations of residential or commercial structures. These cracks may be caused by the settlement over time or natural curing of the concrete foundations.
Solution: Epoxy crack injection
Stair Step Cracks
Stair step cracks are commonly found in block foundations. Mortar joints between blocks are prone to stair-step cracks that may threaten the basement foundations.
Solution: Reapplying the mortar and polyurethane injection
Foundation Slab Cracks
Foundation slab cracks may occur due to a few reasons, such as slab settlement, concrete curing, or frost heave. Hence, it’s important to find the true reason behind such cracks to render the right crack repair services in the foundation slabs.
Solution: Slabjacking and polyurethane foam injections
Structural Foundation Cracks
One of the most intense cracks are structural foundation cracks (probably ¼ inch or wider) that may need serious consideration and rapid action. Soil shrinkage, soil pressure, changes in temperature, etc., may cause structural foundation cracks.
Solution: Epoxy crack injection, water plate anchors, and carbon fiber countersunk straps
Non-Structural Foundation Cracks
Typically, non-structural cracks don’t pose any serious threats to the foundation of your building’s structure. Still, you may find undesired water leakage in the basement when it’s heavily raining or during winter when the snow is defrosting.
Solution: Polyurethane injection solution
Shrinkage Cracks
As the poured concrete foundation starts drying out and losing its moisture level, shrinkage cracks may appear. Shrinkage cracks resemble hairline cracks as they appear within a year and mostly take place in newly constructed buildings.
Solution: Applying shrinkage-reducing admixture or crack-reducing admixture
Wet Non-Structural Foundation Crack
Water evaporation from the concrete oftentimes results in foundation shrinkage; hence, leading to wet non-structural cracks. The rate of wetness of the initial concrete mixture determines the intensity of foundation shrinkage.
Solution: Polyurethane crack injection
Crack Injection for Crack Repair in Foundations
Some notable features of crack injection are as follows:
Reinstating Structural Integrity
When the cracks on walls are injected with adhesive properties, such as epoxy or polyurethane, the edges and inner spaces of the cracks rebound through curing.
Thus the structural integrity of the foundation can be restored with a long-term or lifetime warranty.
Perfect Sealing and Waterproofing
With specialized epoxy and polyurethane injected into the cracks, crack injection does a perfect job of sealing the cracks on walls. This process also closes the way for water leakage while maintaining the integrity and dryness of the foundation.
Ensuring Cost-Effective Sealing
Conventional foundation repairing methods seal cracks by exterior excavation. However, crack injection renders a more reliable, quicker, and more cost-effective service to the cracked walls and floors of the foundation concrete.
Rapid and Minimal Process
If you’re looking for comprehensive solutions to solve the crack issues in your concrete foundation, crack injection is the way to go. It’s quick and involves amazing professional skills to swiftly complete the task.
Moreover, while in the process, crack injection only requires some selected tools to carry out the operation while not disrupting any other ongoing chores inside or outside the properties.
Promising a Lasting Effect
If sealing cracks in foundations is effectively done through an appropriate crack injection process where each material and tool is correctly used, you can expect long-term relief with your concrete foundation. Once done, the sealing achieved through the repairing process can endure minor movements or settling of the foundation over the course of time.
Timely Repairing Method
The crack injection process must be applied to the cracks as soon as you notice them. Delaying the repair process will only add up to a crisis. But if you inject the epoxy or polyurethane material into the cracks in time, it will ensure that no further damage occurs in the overall structure.
Offering Versatile Support
Crack injection is compatible with various crack types in the foundation. You can apply this process on both horizontal and vertical cracks, no matter what sizes they are.
