EPOXY INJECTION FOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
Poor soil conditions, inclement climate and inadequate drainage system can lead to foundation damage. Any weakness in a homes’s foundation can compromise its structural integrity. These conditions can lead to unsightly scene, cause dampness and leakages as well as growth of mold into the interior of your basement.

The Epoxy Injection Method
Resin injection has a relative simplicity and fast action. These traits enable epoxy to still offer a strong and reliable solution that fully seals foundations. The application of the resin takes great dexterity in combination with competent application of the tools, thereby allowing quick fix to foundation cracks in a few hours. The application steps are as below:
- Step 1: Mounting injectors on the selected surface.
- Step 2: Infusion of epoxy paste at certain intervals, smearing the solution to cover the gaps around the injectors, thus leaving a good resin cover.
- Step 3: Once the surface layer is covered, application of resin is started from the bottom injector port, through careful infusion of the solution until it begins to appear in the port above.
- Step 4: Moving one step up, the solution is applied to the next port, filling all the crevices in the wall. When the resin seeps to the upper port, it has filled the cracks and has to be taken to the next crack.
- Step 5: This action is repeated until the top of the crack is reached.
- Step 6: After finishing, tidying up of the application site is done to make the wall is attractive and done to perfection.
