Stop the water at the crack.

Polyurethane is injected into the leaking crack, foams on contact with water and fills the water path. Under water pressure, flexible PU resin follows the foam for a lasting seal.

What it is

What it is

Polyurethane injected into a leaking crack. It foams on contact with water and fills the water path.

Choose it when

Cracks that leak water in basements, pits, tanks and treatment plants.

Keep in mind

Under water pressure, foam stops the flow first and flexible PU resin follows for the lasting seal. A leak at a joint that moves a little takes hydrogel, a soft, flexible gel.

Steps (in order of work)

  1. Plug the leak with rapid-setting cement

    Pressed into the running leak; it sets in minutes even with water flowing.

  2. Polyurethane foam injectionUnder water pressure

    Injected into the crack; it foams on contact with water and fills the water path.

  3. Follow-up resin injectionUnder water pressure

    Flexible PU resin injected after the foam for a lasting seal.

Under water pressure the usual set is 1 → 2 → 3; not every leak needs every step. An emergency stop only is step 1.

This is one example. We decide the actual work after seeing the site.

How we install & check

Diagnose before repair

We find the cause — corrosion, movement, leakage or overload — and pick the method for it.

Injection by moisture

Dry or damp cracks take epoxy resin to restore strength; wet cracks are sealed with flexible PU resin, which does not restore strength; leaks take PU foam or hydrogel.

Pick the method by the symptom

We find the cause first, then pick the method for it — not just "cover it up".

MethodWhat it doesSymptom
Patching — Surface RepairHand-fill chipped/spalled areas. No formwork; about 30–50 mm per layer by product (less overhead). Polymer-modified repair mortar.Chipped / spalled surface
Grouting — Filling VoidsPour or pump into large voids in columns, beams, machine bases (formwork / pressure). Non-shrink grout (no shrink when cured as directed, tight bond) ・ Epoxy grout (high strength, resists chemicals and vibration).Large void in a column, beam or machine base
Crack Injection — Epoxy or PU resinEpoxy resin restores strength in dry cracks ・ wetter cracks take flexible PU resin, which seals but does not restore strength.Structural crack — restore strength
Crack Injection — Stop leaks: PU Foamthis pageFoams on contact with water and stops it fast.Crack that leaks water
Crack Injection — Stop leaks: HydrogelSwells into a soft, flexible gel — for leaks at joints that move a little.Leak at a moving joint
CFRP StrengtheningNot repair — the goal is to increase the load a structure can carry (e.g. raise a floor's load capacity). 3 forms: Fabric/Wrap ・ Plate/Laminate ・ Rod/Bar. Requires structural-engineer design (ACI 440.2); damaged concrete is repaired first.Need to carry more load

Common problem

Questions

What decides the price?

The length of the leaking cracks, how many there are, access, and whether a permanent seal (resin after the foam) is needed. Send photos of the leak on LINE.

Does it stop the leak for good?

Under water pressure the usual set is: plug the running leak, inject PU foam, then follow with flexible PU resin. Not every leak needs every step, and an emergency stop is the first step only.

PU foam or hydrogel?

PU foam foams on contact with water and stops it fast — for leaking cracks. Hydrogel swells into a soft, flexible gel and suits a leak at a joint that moves a little.
