About the Basement Wall Crack Repair Kit

The Basement Self Solve Basement Wall Crack Repair Kit is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer and has everything you need to repair a wall crack as long as 10 Ft. The Basement Wall Crack Repair Kit uses a urethane to fill the void with flexibility.
 
Preparation is very simple. Make sure that the crack is dry and completely exposed. The temperature outside does not matter. Clean the crack with a shop vac or compressed air. After you inject the urethane, allow 1 day for it to set. After this, you can remove the facedam with either a flat bit and hammer drill or a chisel and hammer.

Basement Wall Crack Repair Kit Uses / Coverage

Used for poured concrete foundations. This product is for you if you have wall cracks or leaking cold joints. Cold joints are where an existing foundation wall meets a new foundation wall such as in an addition or a new garage attached to a house. Because a chemical bond is not created when the new foundation meets the old, it typically becomes an area where water leaks through. This kit will cover up to 10 LF of wall cracks or cold joints.

Product Comparison

Our competitor’s  products offer a quick fix by patching the wall with a product like hydraulic cement which is not able to withstand movement that happens with a foundation. Their product does not fill the void from inside to out, cannot withstand movement and will eventually crack and fail. Their product is only a temporary band aid.

CRACK PREPARATION
Place drop cloth on the floor in front of work area. Remove loose or flaking concrete, efflorescence, paint or any coatings to approximately 1-2 inches on either side of the crack. Wipe the surface clean of dust after brushing. The crack surface must be dry for proper installation of injection ports and surface seal. For the best results if wet, wait a few days until the surface dries or if necessary, use a hot air gun, hair drier, or oil free compressed air to dry.

SURFACE PORT PLACEMENT
As a rule of thumb, ports are placed 8” apart centered over the crack, starting at a point closest to the floor (vertical cracks).   Remove caps from surface ports and set aside.

SURFACE PORT ATTACHMENT AND SEALING OF  THE CRACK
1. Be prepared to work quickly with mixed adhesive.  Pour small equal amounts of surface seal and port adhesive (about ¼ of each jar) onto a scrap piece of cardboard.  Mix well for about a minute with the trowel (repeat this step each time you run out of mixed adhesive). Apply a small amount of mixed adhesive to the bottom of the port base. Place the port starting at the bottom of the crack and repeat every 8” until the entire crack is ported. NOTE! Do not allow the adhesive to block the bottom of the port opening or the crack under it.

2. The next step is to work the mixed surface seal along the entire length of the crack using the plastic trowel. The recommended adhesive application is 1/8” thick and 1” wide. Make sure to mound sufficient extra epoxy around the base of the ports.

3. Let the surface seal and port adhesive cure before beginning injection, about 2 hours or until fingernail hard.

INJECTION PROCEDURE
1. Place the Flex Foam cartridge in your caulking gun. Cut the plastic top and then twist on the plastic nozzles.

2. Place the nozzle into to the lowest port and begin pressing gently.  Use about one tube every four to five feet.

4. Begin injecting slowly with low pressure allowing the injection foam time to flow into and fill all small fissures, until the foam begins to flow from the port above it. Plug the first port with the cap provided, and move up to the next port. Repeat this procedure until the entire crack has been filled with the foam. Note! The secret to effective crack injection is patient low-pressure introduction of the foam. Small or hairline cracks may take up to 2 minutes at each port for proper filling to take place.

CLEAN UP
The surface seal can be removed by striking with chisel after foaming is complete in about 1 hour.
