Concrete Crack Injection Services in Edmonton
Not every concrete crack requires the same repair method. Crack injection is commonly used when the crack can be accessed and the surrounding concrete remains suitable for repair.
Basement Wall Crack Injection
Basement wall crack injection is commonly used for cracks that extend through foundation walls and allow moisture or water to enter the basement. Injection materials are placed directly into the crack to fill the void and help stop water penetration.
Leaking Crack Injection
Cracks that actively leak during rainfall, snowmelt, or seasonal moisture changes are common candidates for injection repair. Addressing the crack early can help prevent additional water intrusion and related interior damage.
Foundation Crack Injection
Foundation crack injection can be used on certain foundation wall cracks where the concrete remains structurally suitable for repair. The crack location, width, movement history, and overall condition all influence whether injection is recommended.
Non-Moving Concrete Crack Repair
Injection is generally most effective for cracks that are no longer actively moving. Cracks showing ongoing settlement, displacement, or structural movement may require further assessment before injection is recommended.
Crack Injection for Common Concrete Crack Problems
The first step is determining whether the crack is suitable for injection and identifying what may have caused it.
Vertical Wall Cracks
Vertical cracks are among the most common cracks found in basement and foundation walls. Many can be repaired using injection when the crack remains stable and the surrounding concrete is in good condition.
Water-Seeping Cracks
Water-seeping cracks often become noticeable during heavy rainfall, spring thaw, or periods of increased groundwater pressure. Injection helps target the pathway where water is entering through the concrete.
Cracks Around Utility Penetrations
Cracks sometimes develop near pipes, conduits, or other utility penetrations where concrete experiences stress concentrations. These areas require inspection to determine whether injection is an appropriate repair option.
Cracks That Need Assessment Before Injection
Some cracks require further evaluation before repair recommendations are made. Horizontal cracks, widening cracks, displaced cracks, and cracks associated with structural movement may require a different repair approach.
What to Expect From Our Crack Injection Service
The repair process begins with evaluating the crack and confirming whether injection is the appropriate solution.
Crack Inspection and Repair Recommendation
The crack is inspected to determine its location, condition, likely cause, and suitability for injection. Recommendations are based on the crack itself rather than applying the same repair method to every situation.
Crack Preparation and Injection Setup
The repair area is prepared before injection begins. Injection ports and surface sealing materials are installed to allow the repair material to be placed throughout the crack.
Injection, Sealing, and Final Review
The crack is injected using the appropriate repair material and the repair area is reviewed once the process is complete. Final inspection confirms the crack has been properly filled and sealed.
