Brisbane Crack Injection

When it comes to maintaining the structural integrity of your property, concrete repair is a crucial service you can’t afford to overlook. Over time, concrete structures can develop cracks due to various factors such as weather changes, ground movement, or even the natural ageing process. 

Left unattended, these cracks can lead to serious structural issues requiring costly repairs or replacements. This is where Raise + Relevel steps in.

Raise + Relevel is your trusted partner for Brisbane crack injection services. We specialise in helping homeowners and businesses maintain the structural integrity of their concrete structures. From balcony repairs to bathroom waterproofing, we’ve got you covered.

What is crack injection?

Crack injection is a reliable method for repairing concrete cracks in commercial flooring, industrial floors and home garages. It involves injecting a special adhesive, often an epoxy resin or polyurethane resin, into the crack to seal it and restore the structure’s strength. Here are a few benefits of crack injection:

Fast and efficient

One of the major advantages of crack injection is its speed. The process can be completed quickly, often in just a few hours or less, depending on the extent of the damage.

Minimally invasive 

Crack injection is a non-destructive method that doesn’t require extensive demolition or excavation. The process involves injecting a special resin into the cracks, which then hardens to seal the cracks.

Effective

When done correctly, crack injection is highly effective at stopping current cracks from spreading and preventing new ones from forming. The injected resin forms a strong bond with the concrete, helping to restore its original strength and integrity.

Versatile

The crack injection process can repair various concrete structures, including foundations, walls, floors, balconies, and driveways.

Economical

Compared to other repair methods, crack injection is often more cost-effective. It saves you money by addressing the problem at its source and preventing further damage, which could lead to more costly repairs.

Prevents water infiltration

Crack injection effectively seals the cracks in concrete, making it an excellent solution for remedial waterproofing. This helps avoid mould growth, water damage, and structural weakening.

Long-lasting

The materials used in crack injection are durable and designed to last. Once the resin has been injected and has cured, it provides a long-term solution to the problem rather than just a quick, temporary fix.

How does crack injection work?

The crack injection process is meticulous and requires a keen eye for detail and expert handling. Here’s how our team at Raise + Relevel approaches crack repairs:

1. Assessment 

Every concrete crack injection job begins with a thorough assessment. Our team will inspect the concrete structure to identify the crack’s type, size, and depth. We’ll consider the age of the concrete, the cause of the crack (if known), and the structure’s current condition. This helps us find the best approach for repairing the crack.

2. Planning

With the assessment complete, we develop a tailored plan for the crack injection. Here, we’ll decide on the type of resin to use, for example, epoxy or polyurethane. Epoxy resins are typically used for structural repairs as they bond strongly with concrete and restore its original strength. Polyurethane resins are flexible and ideal for sealing cracks that may expand or contract due to temperature changes or movement.

3. Preparation 

Before the injection occurs, we prepare the crack. This involves cleaning the crack and surrounding area to remove dirt, debris, or loose concrete. This step is crucial as it ensures the resin can bond properly with the concrete.

4. Injection

We proceed with the injection once the crack is ready. Using specialised equipment, we inject the chosen resin into the crack under controlled pressure. The resin travels throughout the crack, filling it from front to back and top to bottom. This stage may be repeated several times to ensure the crack is thoroughly sealed.

5. Curing

We allow the resin to cure after the injection. The curing time can vary depending on the type of resin used and the ambient conditions. During this time, the resin hardens and forms a strong bond with the concrete, effectively sealing the crack.

6. Post-injection inspection

After the resin has fully cured, we conduct a final inspection to ensure the crack has been completely sealed and the structure is sound. We may perform additional treatments or adjustments to ensure the highest quality repair if necessary.

Through this detailed and careful process, crack injection provides a durable and long-lasting solution for concrete cracks. It’s an effective method that restores the structural integrity of your concrete and prevents future damage.

When is crack injection the best solution?

Crack injection is the ideal solution for concrete cracking in concrete slabs, walls, and other concrete structures. It’s especially effective for basement waterproofing, leak repairs, and water leak repairs where waterproofing membrane application alone may not suffice.

Comparing crack injection with other methods

You’ll find it’s quite a game changer when you put crack injection alongside other methods. It’s less disruptive and more cost-friendly than concrete slab repairs, which can be a time and money sink. 

But remember, crack injection isn’t the solution for every type of damage. For serious issues like concrete spalling or cancer, you might need to roll up your sleeves and dive into more intensive structural repairs.
