Surface Seals & Port Adhesives
Prior to injecting a foundation crack, surface ports must be adhered to the foundation wall. The injection material (either urethane foam or epoxy) is injected through these ports (no drilling required). The port adhesive used to adhere the ports to the foundation wall is the same material used to seal the surface of the wall where the crack exists. The crack must be covered by a surface seal, to prevent the injection material from leaking out.
Emecole manufacturers a wide variety of surface seals and port adhesives, each designated to accomodate the various repair jobs that a basement waterproofing contractor will encounter. The most standard surface seal for basement wall cracks, is Emecole 302. Another option for basement wall cracks, when appearance after the repair is important, Emecole 322 is a removable surface seal, which easily removes after the repair, leaving an almost invisible look.
