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.
