Fast-Set Polyurethane Concrete Crack Injection In a Basement Wall

This kit can be purchased from our website here www.appliedtec...
Instruction for Applied Technologies Fast Set Concrete Foundation Crack Repair Kit. Concrete basement walls can crack and then leak water. This kit will repair up to 10' of crack.
Our Fast Set Concrete Foundation Crack Repair Kit will make the concrete crack waterproof. This kit uses the same materials the pros use but is packaged for a DIY user. Full written instructions and this video are included with the kit. All of the repair work is done from inside the basement. There is no excavating, chiseling or drilling required to make the repair. The expanding polyurethane foam fills the basement wall crack from bottom to top. We also have larger kits that can repair leaks in concrete cracks up to 60 feet in length. www.appliedtec...

Great video and comments. Been waterproofing basements walls for years and never repaired concrete walls like this. Best stuff use it

[@Tommygun1313]

I just finished using this system. I had a crack from floor to ceiling and it traveled between 2 joist bays. They say removing studs is not required, I would do it. Otherwise, you will get leaks when you inject the Hydra Stop. Everything worked exactly like this video shows without a single issue. When injecting the Hydra Stop it does get a little messy, make sure you have the plastic down on the floor for that step. Also make sure your plugs are in all the way! The Hydra Stop will continue to expand well-after you are done and can push the plug out if it's not all the way in. Happened to me and luckily I was standing right there. I replaced it and tapped them all with a hammer to make sure they were all the way in. We'll see how well it works, but I feel confident that it penetrated the entire crack. So far, I recommend.

I did the same thing with bondo and plastic straws cut to 1" lengths and held in place with toothpicks in the crack while the bondo hardens around the straws. The straws are 6" apart. Use cement crack filler tube from Lowe's in an ordinary caulk gun, inserted into each straw, Go from bottom to top of crack. Finish with 6 coats UGL waterproof paint. Been leak tight for 11 years now

[@jesse2637]

I bought this product.i also tested epoxy with waterproof foam. 8years later, same results. The s1E did get a small seep 3 months ago. Did the epoxy coat inside and injected that great stuff waterproof, so far so good. And it was cheaper. Since from what I’m reading this has a 10-20 year life. I will polyurethane seal the out side of crack. I was looking for a permanent seal when I purchased. O well

Well done, video would be a good learning tool for anyone trying it yourself. Thanks, for the help

[@richardbambenek2601]

I just did this on a very narrow crack that did leak a lot of water and I'm just waiting for it to rain. The only issues I had was injecting water into that narrow crack. It would just run out. So what i did was just inject the water with my mouth using a a little pressure. That worked well and I could judge how much water I injected. Maybe if the water bottle had a 90 degree tube it would work better. Waiting to see if I'm successful because if I get 2 inches or more of rain in a short time I get lots of water in my basement. Grrrrr.

You inject immediately after injecting water. The water activates the foam.

I highly recommend that you put the bottom port as close to the bottom as possible, not 6-inches up as in the video.

[@mikeh704]

@@rondail5675 I see now that the video said, "Start within 4-inches of the bottom of the crack." That may be fine because the material will flow downward as well as upward, but I would personally start very near the bottom.

[@matthewnewton9129]

I used this method but the resin never came to the upper injection port. I guess it went straight through the crack. Any suggestions?

[@weareonewithrpa9605]

I think both sides need to be sealed

[@mikeh2291]

In this case, you may want to inject in the port above, allowing gravity to pull the foam downward toward the adjacent port if this is happening at just one location. The crack is probably too wide for the distance between the ports. Of course, you could also add a port between the two but if you are underway I would try the port above first.

[@yannicktremblay9687]

I'm looking for the technic to seal inside corner wall, any knows any videos or other infos ? This corner is in fact an old basement that has been extended so it is not a real crack but a joint between an old and a newer wall (done over 20 years ago), there was metal bracket, sealant and waterproofing from the outside but is probably worn from the time... the only technic i'm finding on the internet is cracks on a flat wall... do you think i will have to seal the corner joint and drill at 45 degrees and use thoses holes for the plugs ?

[@randallschaeding2354]

In what application would you use foam over epoxy? Does it merely come down to costs or does foam have an advantage over epoxy? I am considering expoxy for my basement wall cracks that are minor (less than 1/2" side)

You use epoxy in structural cracks.

[@yorkiepit]

I've flipped over 500 houses in the last 17 years and have used this and similar products on at least 20 houses. It's simple and I teach my renovation crews how to do it. As long as the wall is structurally sound, this is a permanent and effective method to repair cracks and prevent water intrusion from them. Follow the directions EXACTLY or the results will fail. On a poured concrete wall, this will protect the rebar inside the wall to keep the foundation structurally sound. I don't think this would work on a hollow concrete block wall and have never attempted it.

Hi, the kit looks good! Would this kit apply if I just have cracks but no water penetration? Will your epoxy keep the crack from spreading further? Thanks!

It definitely would not, you'll need that professionally checked because the crack is likely longer than what is currently visible in daylight, and could require a specific fix

what if the water doesn't flow to the next port and that next port is clear from the epoxy 300?

it is ok if you do not see water come out of each port. You just want water in the crack to make the hydra Stop 300 react.

This is for waterproofing. All concrete cracks when it cures and it doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem. If your concrete is cracking significantly because of some issue with your footings, then no amount of fix will stop that.

There is one KEY FACTOR that is not mentioned in this video. You should determine what caused the crack. If you don't the crack may expand and leak again. Cracks are an indication of a potentially significant structural problem.

The water also helps the concrete absorb the chemicals being that concrete is NOT a vapor barrier. Wetting it soaks in more product deeper into its pores
