What is Crack Repair?

Crack repair is the process of sealing and stabilizing structural or non-structural cracks in concrete and masonry. Using precision injection methods, cracks are filled with flexible or rigid materials that prevent water intrusion, restore strength, and extend the service life of critical infrastructure.

Problems It Solves

  • Water intrusion causes erosion and structural weakening
  • Cracks allow corrosion of embedded steel reinforcements
  • Freeze-thaw cycles and environmental exposure widen cracks
  • Settlement and joint displacement lead to slab failure
  • Untreated cracks shorten the lifespan of infrastructure assets

Types of Polymers Used

High-Density Polyurethane Foams

  • Expands to seal deep or wide cracks
  • Bonds strongly to wet or dry substrates
  • Restores integrity in concrete slabs and walls

Structural Polyurethane Resins

  • Provides rigid sealing for structural stability
  • Prevents recurrence of cracks by integrating with soils
  • Improves load transfer across faulted sections

Hydro-Insensitive Polymers

  • Expands and cures under flowing water conditions
  • Ideal for active leak repair in below-grade structures
  • Creates durable seals in saturated environments

Benefits of Crack Repair

Injection-based crack repair protects infrastructure from water intrusion and progressive deterioration. By sealing active and dormant cracks, this process restores durability and ensures long-term performance for both surface and below-grade structures.

Extend the Life of Critical Assets

  • Prevents water ingress and soil erosion
  • Compatible with concrete, masonry, and cast structures
  • Trenchless, non-destructive installation
  • Provides long-lasting structural and sealing performance

How Our Process Works

1

Investigation

Cracks are identified and mapped through inspection and testing

2

Planning

Injection approach selected based on crack size, depth, and material type

3

Access

Ports or packers placed directly over crack paths

4

Injection

Polymers are delivered at controlled pressures to fill voids and seal cracks

5

Monitoring

Injection flow and crack closure tracked in real time

6

Validation

Post-injection testing confirms durability and water tightness
