Waterproofing Systems for Concrete Structures

Leaks in concrete structures can range from seepage through cracks in residential basements to torrents of water pouring through a dam.

To solve concrete leaking problems, repair specialists, CONSOLIDATED QUALITY PROJECTS must determine the technique to stop the flow of water.  These can fall into 3 broad categories

1.  Reinjectable Hose System -

      Installed into the concrete structure as part of the
      waterproofing design.

2.  Polyurethane grouts -

      Reacts wth water to form a chemical waterstop
      expanding into voids and crack capillaries.

3.  Hydrogels -

      Very low viscosity which swells in contact with
      water, is solvent free and for permanent solutions.

Despite the variety of unique problems that may exist on each project, most concrete leaks have one thing in common.  They can be controlled through the strategic use of injection systems.

Polyurthane grouts and Hydrogels have been used as speciality materials for sealing leaking cracks into concrete structures for about 20 years.
