In most cases, concrete injection stops active leaks immediately after the material cures, which can take as little as a few minutes to several hours. For severe leaks, polyurethane injection reacts quickly with moisture to create an instant watertight seal.
Yes, crack injection works effectively on both.
•Wet Cracks: Polyurethane is used as it reacts with water to form a flexible, watertight seal.
•Dry Cracks: Water is first injected into the crack to allow the polyurethane to react, following the same process as with wet cracks.
Crack injection can repair:
• Structural cracks in walls, beams, and foundations.
• Leaking cracks in basements, tunnels, and water tanks.
• Hairline cracks on concrete floors and surfaces.
• Cracks caused by shrinkage or settlement.
Crack injection works by injecting specialized materials into cracks under controlled pressure. These materials fill the cracks and gaps, bond with the concrete, and form a durable, water-resistant seal that stops leaks and strengthens the structure.
Yes, crack injection is a permanent solution when applied correctly using high-performance materials like epoxy or polyurethane. It effectively seals cracks, prevents water infiltration, and restores structural integrity, ensuring long-lasting results.
When applied correctly and maintained, waterproofing systems can last 10–20 years or more, depending on the type of system used, environmental conditions, and level of exposure to water or moisture.
Waterproofing withstands hydrostatic pressure and prevents water penetration while dampproofing only controls moisture and cannot handle water under pressure.
- Cement-Based Waterproofing (Crystalline)
- Silane-Based Sealers
- Liquid-Applied Membranes
- Epoxy Waterproofing
Consider the project location (above or below grade), surface type, water exposure, and environmental factors like UV resistance. CAPCRETE’s team can guide you to the best solution.
Waterproofing protects structures from water damage, prevents mould growth, extends the structure’s lifespan, and safeguards concrete and reinforcement from deterioration.
Yes, epoxy coatings are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, including exposure to harsh chemicals, high temperatures, and heavy mechanical stress. For instance, products like Prime Coat 4300 Novolac are designed for areas requiring high chemical resistance, such as secondary containment areas and battery charging stations.
The longevity of an epoxy coating depends on factors like the specific product used, the environment, and maintenance practices. High-quality epoxy coatings, when properly applied and maintained, can offer durable protection for many years.
To maintain epoxy floors:
•Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum to remove debris.
•Mopping: Use a mild detergent mixed with water for mopping.
•Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of abrasive cleaners that might damage the surface.
Regular maintenance helps preserve the floor’s appearance and extends its lifespan.
Yes, epoxy coatings can be tailored to meet specific needs. For example, Prime Coat CTL can be applied by rolling, brushing, or spraying on concrete or steel, providing flexibility in application methods.
Proper surface preparation is crucial for effective epoxy adhesion:
•Clean the Surface: Remove all grease, dirt, oil, and other contaminants.
•Surface Profiling: Methods like shot blasting or etching are recommended to achieve the desired surface profile.
•Moisture Check: Ensure the concrete is free of excessive moisture, which can affect adhesion.
Following these steps helps in achieving a durable and long-lasting epoxy coating.
Yes, sealing is essential for protecting concrete floors by preventing stains from spills and oil, reducing the risk of cracking and chipping caused by impact or freeze-thaw cycles, and minimizing dust, especially on unfinished or older concrete surfaces. It is commonly applied to underground parking garages, balconies, driveways, sidewalks, airport runways, taxiways, and pool decks to enhance durability and longevity.
For high-performance floor sealing solutions, such as 100%-solids epoxy coatings or polyaspartic urethanes, professional application is recommended. These epoxy coatings require specialized tools and techniques to ensure proper curing, even coverage, and a long-lasting, durable finish.
The effect of floor sealing on traction depends on the type of sealer used. Reactive penetrating sealers absorb into the surface, preserving its natural texture with minimal impact on traction. Topical sealers and coatings, such as epoxy or polyurethane, may create a smoother finish and can become slippery when wet. In high-traffic areas like entryways, stairwells, or garage floors, anti-slip additives can be applied to improve surface grip and reduce the risk of slipping.
The lifespan of a floor sealer depends on the type of sealer used, traffic levels, and environmental conditions. Penetrating sealers can last 10 years or more, while topical sealers, such as acrylic coatings, may need to be reapplied every 1 to 3 years. Regular maintenance and proper cleaning help extend the durability of sealed surfaces.
Applying a new sealer over an old one depends on compatibility. Some sealers can be layered, while others require the previous coating to be removed for proper adhesion. It’s important to follow manufacturer recommendations or consult a professional to ensure the new sealer bonds correctly and performs as expected.
Polished concrete is a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution created by mechanically grinding, honing, and polishing a concrete surface. This multi-step process enhances smoothness, strength, and sheen, resulting in a refined finish that can range from matte to high-gloss.
Polished concrete is a preferred flooring choice for large commercial, industrial, and multi-level residential spaces due to its durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic versatility. Its ability to withstand high traffic, resist stains, and reduce maintenance costs makes it ideal for expansive areas such as warehouses, showrooms, and office buildings in Ontario.
Polished concrete is known for its exceptional longevity, often outlasting traditional flooring materials such as vinyl, tile, or carpet. When properly maintained, polished concrete floors can last over 20 years, making them a cost-effective solution for large spaces that experience constant use and heavy foot traffic.
The time required to complete polished concrete flooring depends on the condition of the existing surface and the desired finish. On average, polishing a 5,000 sq. ft. area takes 5–7 days, though this may vary based on surface preparation needs, repairs, and finish level.
Polished concrete is low maintenance, but routine care helps preserve its shine and durability. For high-traffic areas, use a floor scrubber with white pads or soft brushes on low pressure to prevent wear. Regular dust mopping and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner will keep the surface clean and prevent dirt buildup.
Concrete settling typically occurs when the base beneath the concrete isn’t properly compacted before pouring. If the base is loose or uneven, the weight of the concrete slab can compress it further after curing, resulting in noticeable settlement over time.
The injection holes are very small—about the size of a dime, roughly 5/8 inches in diameter. These tiny holes help maintain the structural integrity of the concrete while remaining discreet and minimally invasive.
The time required for slab lifting depends on the project size, but residential jobs are typically completed in 2-3 hours, allowing for minimal disruption to your day.
In most cases, the area can be used immediately after the lifting process is complete, ensuring quick access to the repaired surface.
Any solid concrete slab, including driveways, sidewalks, and garage floors, can be lifted and stabilized. However, patio stones or pavement cannot be raised and would need to be replaced or reinstalled to address any settling issues.
No heavy equipment is needed. We use polyurethane foam for repairs, and the material is injected through a hose that runs from the truck or trailer, which can be positioned up to 200 feet away, avoiding any need to drive equipment onto your lawn.
Concrete can deteriorate due to poor soil conditions, improper mixing, excessive moisture, or corrosion of steel reinforcement. Over time, external factors such as chemical reactions, temperature changes, and rusting can accelerate this process.
Concrete repairs can involve fixing cracks, filling holes, repairing joints, leveling uneven surfaces, or even replacing structural components. Decorative concrete may require patching or resurfacing to restore its appearance.
Repairing concrete helps prevent hazardous conditions, such as tripping on cracks or uneven surfaces. It also helps preserve the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the concrete while avoiding more costly repairs later.
Professionals ensure that the repair is done correctly and efficiently, using the right materials and techniques. They have the expertise to prevent future damage, and their work is often backed by warranties and insurance coverage to protect you.
Ontario’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles can significantly impact concrete surfaces. When moisture infiltrates the concrete and freezes, it expands, creating cracks and surface damage, a process that worsens over time, especially when combined with de-icing salts and environmental exposure. To protect your concrete surfaces from this kind of damage, it’s crucial to take preventive measures such as applying high-quality sealers to block moisture and prevent freezing. Additionally, crack repairs should be addressed promptly to stop further damage, and proper curing techniques can strengthen the concrete to withstand Ontario’s extreme temperatures. These measures are best performed by professionals like CAPCRETE, who ensure that all repairs and protective treatments are applied correctly, extending the life and durability of your concrete surfaces throughout all seasons.
