Wall Cracks
Cracks that are visible and accessible from inside your commercial basement are often repaired the same way by most waterproofing contractors. A low-pressure injection of epoxy is used to seal the crack from inside the building. A hydrophobic polyurethane that is flexible will most likely not crack again unless there is significant foundation movement. Epoxy is fine for a structural repair, but it is very rigid. We prefer a more flexible material for leaking cracks.
Concrete Cracks
Cracks in concrete caused by shrinkage are a common foundation problem. Cracks due to shrinkage are easy to detect. They usually extend the full length of the foundation wall. Unfortunately, such large cracks allow a path for water to enter.
How to Treat Your Crack Problem
There are several ways to take care of water seepage from cracks. Atlas Restoration has a quick, easy, and effective solution to this issue. Our repairing solution includes injecting liquid polyurethane, which turns into foam. In just a few minutes, the polyurethane liquid reacts with the water in the crack and begins to foam. Injecting in liquid form enables a gentle and slow filling treatment that will fill the crack completely and quickly. After the liquid forms into a foam, it restricts water from leaking into the cracks. The strong bond formed by this foam to concrete is strong enough to tolerate even the most severe pressure.
Polyurethane Injection
Using a polyurethane injection into your wall cracks can give your building the following advantages:

Ensures a more permanent solution than other crack patching methods.
Repair occurs on the inside of the basement wall, creating much less mess from repair
Quick repair process that effectively halts water leaks and provides flexibility
Provides confidence that your possessions will be safe from water
