Cracks that develop on concrete slabs are caused by various factors. Such imperfections are not only unsightly but may indicate serious structural problems and a sign of inferior durability of concrete materials. Cracks may also reveal the full extent of the damage or may be an impending sign of a bigger problem.<\/p>\n

Epoxy crack injections<\/a> offer an affordable concrete remediation method for non-movable cracks on slabs, columns, piers, and walls. The main function of an epoxy crack injection is to restore the structural integrity of concrete to pre-cracked condition. To prevent the repaired concrete structure from cracking again, it\u2019s important that contractors do their due diligence to find the right epoxy resin formulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n The significance of cracks largely depends on the structure as well as the cause of the cracking. Before any repair can be implemented, it\u2019s important for builders to determine the nature of the crack in order to design a repair method that will ensure the best results. Long-term repair must resolve the cause of the cracks themselves. One of the most common repair solutions for cracked concrete is epoxy crack injection. This is used to repair cracks in concrete structures with a width ranging between .002\u201d up to 3\/8\u2019. By rule, there are no pre-determine formulations for epoxy resin for varying widths.<\/p>\n Epoxy Resin Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n Although epoxy resin injection presents an excellent means to repair floor and wall cracks<\/a>, it is not meant to seal leaks. Since epoxy resin is water-insensitive by nature, it can only be used to repair cracks that stay dry most of the time to maintain its adhesion. In short, epoxy injections are ineffective in sealing cracks or preventing water from leaking through the other side of concrete structures.<\/p>\n At Extreme Industrial Coatings<\/a>, we offer comprehensive epoxy crack injection services to restore a concrete structure\u2019s overall integrity and function, as well as deliver optimal resistance to moisture penetration.
