Leak Injection



Leak injection is one of the treatments that tend to restore the lost strength and durability of any concrete structure. Worldwide, massive commercial buildings are built by concrete and taken as a symbol of strength. These massive commercial buildings are symbolic representation of any country’s economic strength and stability. Therefore, it is vital for these buildings to be strong and long-lasting. 


Even though, concrete is a tough to erosion and resilient material, there are few limitations and restraints that make concrete liable to different degrees of erosion and weakness. For instance, continuous exposure to water may have adverse affect on the overall internal structure of concrete as the pore spaces present in the structure of concrete would be consumed by water making concrete liable to weathering and resulting weakening of the entire structure. To overcome such leakages in commercial buildings, Leak Injections are used. In order to make the lamest person understand that how leak injection work; let us see what generally is meant by leak injection? Basically, leak injection is a water and different chemical resilient material that is grouted on the leakages and any openings in concrete structure. This grouting of material works as a water proof seal for concrete structure which helps to keep the strength of building for long.
