Dry and Wet Crack Repair

Dry and Wet Crack Repair in Concrete

Concrete provides structures with strength, rigidity, and resilience against deformation. These characteristics, however, result in concrete structures lacking the flexibility to move in response to environmental or volume changes. Cracking is usually the first sign of distress in concrete.

Why Concrete Cracks

The watertightness of concrete is largely dependent on its water/cement ratio and the degree of compaction. Concrete that isn’t watertight will allow water to penetrate or leak into and out of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This can occur due to cracks, failed joints, or even through permeable substrates. If not treated once identified, further problems can arise, including the corrosion of reinforcement, leading to the consequential loss of usable space within the structure.

How to Repair Concrete Cracks

1. High-Pressure Injection (Epoxy Resin or PU)
   This method Involves injecting epoxy or polyurethane resins into dry cracks to restore structural integrity, prevent water ingress, and halt further deterioration. Ideal for stabilizing and sealing non-active cracks in concrete.

2. Patching with Epoxy Paste
   For dry cracks, an epoxy paste can be applied directly to the surface. This material fills the cracks and helps prevent water infiltration, providing a durable seal.
