What is crack injection?
Whether dealing with concrete cracks in your walls or floors, crack injection is a cost-effective repair solution to stop potential structural issues in their tracks. The solution for your concrete cracking will depend on the type of crack you’re dealing with because there are several crack injection products to choose from.
If you aren’t sure whether you have concrete cracks, you can look out for crooked, jammed doors and windows or cracks surrounding these structural cutouts.
- Ardex Injection.
- Acrylate resins injection.
- Epoxy paste or Epoxy resin injection.
- Polyurethane injection.
The solution varies from fine cracks to major fractures, the injection range, and whether there are underlying structural issues.
Benefits of crack injections
There are several benefits associated with crack injections for concrete repair. Explore the advantages of this method below:
Fast and efficient
Crack injection repair is quick and efficient; a total repair can take as little as an hour and a half. The first step is cleaning the cracks, which guarantees an effective repair. Once the cracks are clean, the injection can take place. Once fractures and cracks are patched, they harden and cure quickly. It really is that easy.
Minimally invasive
The repair process is simple and minimally invasive. It’s rarely necessary to make the gaps and cracks larger to repair them, which makes them strong and reliable.
Effective
Epoxy reconnects broken concrete to make concrete structures look new. It creates a waterproof seal while blocking insects, debris, and chemicals. Polyurethane strengthens, which makes it another excellent solution, depending on the problem.
How does crack injection work?
First, the crack is cleaned out to remove any contaminants. There is no need to excavate the crack; clean, dry air is used to blow the crack free so the resin can easily reach into every nook and cranny. It’s a skilled process because there are one of two ways to carry out the injection.
The technician will inject the resin through an inlet port or via drilled holes intersecting the crack. A machine pump is used to apply pressure, but smaller jobs rely on a hand pressure gun.
When is crack injection the best solution?
The crack injection can be used in lift shafts, concrete pits, basements, concrete water tanks, underground car parks, and swimming pools. It’s also useful for foundation cracks and is frequently employed by balcony waterproofers. It should be treated if a crack threatens a structure’s structural integrity or waterproofing membrane. If the cracking is due to corrosion, crack injection is not a suitable solution.
Successful injections require the crack to be at least a width of 0.1 mm. Different injection resins are suitable for different crack widths. A low-viscosity epoxy is typical for dry structural cracks of 0.05 mm or greater, where future movement is not expected. Polyurethane is for sealing leaking cracks where future movement is expected.
We take pride in our proven track record in water-leaking solutions and offer many services, including epoxy crack injections and expansion joint repair, to meet your specific needs.
Each solution possesses different properties and is suitable for different circumstances. Concrete structures depend on smart concrete repairs. There are varying strength epoxy repair options, which also depend on the severity and location of the concrete cracks.
Our expertise extends to floor coating and concrete floor protection, utilising carbon fibre and epoxy crack injections to reinforce and preserve the structural integrity of your surfaces.
A structural repair will require heavier repair mortars like Ardex crack repair. Polyurethane foam is more effective when dealing with rising dampness or wall waterproofing.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of crack injection compared to other methods?
Crack injection is an effective solution, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best solution for all concrete crack repairs.
Advantages
Crack injection is a highly targeted approach to repairing concrete cracks. Because the injection goes directly into the crack, it can fill the entire void from the inside out. This makes it more effective than surface treatments, which may not fully penetrate deep or narrow cracks. It ensures the entire crack is addressed, reducing the issue’s risk of resurfacing later.
Another advantage of crack injection is its cost-effectiveness. While the upfront costs may be higher than other methods, the long-term savings can be substantial. By effectively sealing the crack and preventing further damage, crack injection can help avoid more extensive and costly repairs. It’s a relatively quick process, so you’ll also save on labour costs.
Disadvantages
While crack injection is a powerful technique, it isn’t suitable for all cracks. It works best on dry and free of dirt and debris cracks. If the crack is wet or filled with debris, the injection material may not adhere properly, leading to a less effective repair. This means extra care and preparation may be needed before the crack injection occurs.
Another potential disadvantage is the skill required to perform crack injection effectively. It’s not a simple DIY fix; it requires a trained professional to carry out the procedure. This might mean waiting for an available technician and potentially paying more for their expertise. If the injection isn’t done correctly, it could lead to further damage.
How much does crack injection typically cost?
The cost depends on several things, including the severity of the crack or cracks and location. Here’s a concise overview of typical crack injection costs in Australia:
- Minor repairs: $300 – $1,000
- Moderate repairs: $1,000 – $2,500
- Extensive repairs: $2,500 – $5,000+.
