Foundation crack repair is a process used to fix cracks that have developed in the foundation of a building. These cracks can be caused by various factors, including settling the soil, water pressure, temperature changes, and structural issues. If left untreated, foundation cracks can lead to water leakage, structural instability, and other problems.
Epoxy injection is a common and effective method used to repair structural cracks in concrete foundations and other structures. This technique involves injecting a specialized epoxy resin into the cracks to fill and bond the damaged concrete, restoring the structural integrity of the affected area. Here's a step-by-step explanation of the epoxy injection process:
Polyurethane foam injection is effective for non-structural cracks. The expanding foam fills the crack and creates a waterproof seal. Polyurethane foam is flexible and can accommodate slight movements in the foundation.
If cracks are related to water infiltration, waterproofing the foundation can help prevent further damage. This may include exterior waterproofing membranes or drainage solutions. Waterproofing protects the foundation from moisture, reducing the risk of cracking due to freeze-thaw cycles.
Carbon fiber straps or sheets can be applied to reinforce horizontal cracks. They are bonded to the foundation with epoxy, providing additional strength. Carbon fiber reinforcement helps prevent further movement of cracks and adds structural support.
Underpinning involves strengthening the foundation by extending its depth or adding additional support. Underpinning is suitable for cracks caused by soil-related problems, such as expansive or poorly compacted soil.
