Is Epoxy Crack Repair Suitable?
Once our technician arrives for your free consultation, they’re going to go through a quick checklist to determine whether epoxy crack repair is the right solution. Let’s briefly look at a few:
- Moving Cracks: Epoxy is suited for non-moving cracks. While our resins are going to have incredible bonding strength (higher than the concrete itself), they’re ineffective if the foundation is currently sinking, shifting, moving, etc. We’re looking most often for horizontal foundation cracks.
- Waterproofing: Yes, it can be applied to most interior and exterior concrete surfaces, but the bond strength of even the mightiest epoxy resin is going to show a significant decrease when applied to a wet or non-sealed surface.
- Causation: We never start repairing cracks before determining exactly what’s causing them in the first place. This is to ensure epoxy injection is the right solution, then provide ‘done right, done once’ work, and dramatically decrease the likelihood of cracks quickly reappearing.
We want the perfect resin with the right viscosity to flow through the cracks as thoroughly as possible to provide as much bonding as possible.
More Information on Concrete Cracking
You can tell a lot about the state of your concrete by the cracks that appear in it. Not only the concrete itself but what it’s placed upon. Let’s take a second to see what other cracks tell us:
- Jagged Cracks: When you start seeing jagged cracks with three-point patterns, or as some call them stair cracks, this is usually a sign that soil beneath the concrete is shrinking and there are voids.
- Web-Like Cracking: Shallow, almost superficial, web-like cracking patterns usually signify plastic shrinkage.
- Parallel Cracks: This is likely not relevant to you unless you’re concerned about fresh concrete. Parallel cracks typically signify your concrete slab’s reinforcement locations need support.
- Moving Cracks: Now we’re talking structural failure — one side of the crack is higher than the other — and there are active fissures breaking concrete into independent chunks which could also be moving.
