Leaky Cracks? |

What is Polyurethane Crack Injection? |
Mike's Polyurethane Injection System seals large or small cracks to prevent water from coming through. A specially engineered polyurethane is injected into the crack. It reacts with water causing the urethane to expand up to 700 percent to prevent further leaking. In addition, the polyurethane remains pliable enough to allow for normal expansion and contraction. Once the polyurethane injection is completed, a cement patch compound is applied over the repair to complete the project. |
Bowing Walls? |
| Typically, foundations are stressed when pressure (hydrostatic, expansive soil or lateral earth movement) is exerted on the outside of the foundation, causing walls to crack and separate beyond their tensile capacity. If not stopped, or properly reinforced, foundations could collapse. |

| THE REINFORCER ® is a patented state-of-the-art system developed by professional engineers. A combination of space-age polymers and carbon fibers have been processed into a material that is virtually impossible to stretch. Less than 1/16" thick, it is a perfect material to use on basement foundation walls to resist outside pressure. When The REINFORCER ® is applied to foundations, it counteracts further outside pressure on the wall, taking the tension force or tensile load that the concrete or mortar joint cannot. For every increase in pressure, The REINFORCER ® supplies an equal and opposite resistant force making the wall stronger, helping to eliminate shifting, expanding, cracking or bowing. |
