Specially formulated ECP polyurethane resins can even be injected into actively leaking cracks, stopping water within minutes. These resins actually seek out water and expand on contact to stop the water in its path.
Opposed to concrete patches that covers the inside surface of a foundation crack, ECP Polyurethane resins seal the leak. Concrete patches are a weak repair that the water can push off of the wall and allow water to leak into the basement.
Epoxies are used for structural repair of concrete foundation cracks and to stop water from entering these cracks. The cured epoxy resin will completely fill the concrete crack and return the basement wall to its previous strength. ECP recommends that a professional engineer inspects and diagnoses all concrete cracks before any repairs are performed. Failure to properly repair basement wall cracks can lead to foundation failure and basement flooding.
