Epoxy and polyurethane leakage injections


During and after construction of buildings, the most problematic thing to handle is to control the leakage of concrete. There are so many way to overcome this problem but most of these methods are time consuming and tiresome. Leakage injection is the method which can be easily used to overcome this problem. The method of Leakage injection is not only cost effective but also takes lesser time than any other method. Whenever we use the method of Leakage injection, we need to seal the crack first then holes are made into teat seal through which material (e.g., epoxy or polyurethane) are injected into the crack to prevent further leakage. This is the method which is least time consuming method among all other methods to prevent leakage in concrete requiring few hours in completion whereas; few hundred dollars are required in completing this procedure of Leakage injection.
There are different materials which can be used for Leakage injection. Epoxy and polyurethane are two of these materials. If one uses the epoxy injection as Leakage injection, one can be assured of the thing that the crack has been filled successfully as it is the sticky material which spreads into the crack and prevent further leakage. The other important thing about epoxy Leakage injection is that they are proven highly reliable and they have a low failure rate which make them more reliable to use as Leakage injection. Usually Leakage injection works best when the crack is relatively small and various other methods are recommended to use with larger sized cracks. Polyurethane Leakage injection is more effective in this way that in can be used in any condition of the crack. If the crack is still leaking during administration of polyurethane Leakage injection and there is concrete residuals and mud in the crack, it does not affect the Leakage injection of polyurethane. The advantage which polyurethane Leakage injection has over epoxy Leakage injection is that it automatically cleans the crack through its flushing system before injecting the material. Polyurethane injection, like epoxy injection, expands into the crack and prevents further leakage.
Whichever method of Leakage injection you are using to prevent leakage of water from concrete, Leakage injection will always be economical and time effective for you. Once you are done with the procedure, you will definitely be appreciating the effectiveness of this method in the future.
