Due to a leak in concrete slab, there may occur moisture related
problems inside a structure. The waterproofing industry has always been trying
to find ways to provide rock-solid solutions to the needy. In the below
subsections, we discuss two most popular cracks repair and methods of moisture test for concrete slab –
- Injection Therapy
In the industry, there are used two types of injection therapies:
polyurethane and epoxy injection. The best way to ascertain that the line has
been filled properly is to inject the solution or paste from inside. Whether
you are using polyurethane or epoxy, make sure that injection ports are affixed
on the surface, after a layer of the paste has been applied over the split.
- Polyurethane Method
Polyurethane foams are less expensive and easier to use than
epoxies, however there are a few drawbacks of this concrete crack repairing
method. It does not add to the strength of the structure, though it welds and
fills the crack, after being injected inside.
- Epoxy Concrete Repair Method
On the other hand, the epoxy technique allows you to weld and fill
the crack, and strengthen the bond between the solution and the structure, as
well. And surprisingly, the strength of the bond can sometimes be more powerful
than concrete.
