Concrete Crack Repair
Concrete Crack Repair in Edmonton
Concrete is a robust and rugged material; however, even as durable as it is, it cannot remain in perfect condition forever. Over time, the stress, strain, and weathering of concrete gradually compromise its strength and make it susceptible to cracks, spalling, and worn surfaces. At this point, we can come in and make the necessary repairs.
Cracked concrete is typically a signal that the ground that the concrete rests upon has shifted and will likely continue to do so. Noticeable cracks should be addressed immediately before causing significant and long-term damage to the structure. Cracks in building foundations are a considerable issue because they compromise the structural integrity of the home or business and will likely cause additional cracks to appear throughout every area of your building. Cracks in driveways and sidewalks create an eyesore and a tripping hazard and are best dealt with before they become a significant problem.
At Walser Contracting, we specialize in a wide range of concrete repair services, from commercial and industrial buildings to residential locations. These services range from fixing cracks in your home’s driveway to repairing your commercial building’s floors and walls. One thing to remember is that different concrete surfaces will require different repair methods.
Repairing a concrete floor in a residential basement will significantly differ from a large commercial or industrial building. We have had the opportunity to work with several different situations over the past years, and our expertise in dealing with these different kinds of structures and surfaces gives us a unique advantage to commit to providing a high-quality finished product. Regardless of the damage or the type of structure affected, Walser Contracting will get the job done right and on time.
Concrete Crack Injection Experts
When cracks are present in concrete walls, floors, ceilings, underground parkades, or other locations, we perform crack injection to prevent future water flow through the concrete surface. We begin our concrete injection service with a thorough inspection of the damaged area. This allows us to identify the source of the damage and address it with the right repair work to prevent it from happening again.
Walser’s knowledge and expertise come into play when dealing with the varying temperatures experienced in Western Canada. Being familiar with the fluctuations in temperature helps to understand their impact on the different concrete surfaces, which can lead to concrete damage. This knowledge is necessary when repairing cracks and spalling, which allows us to use the proper waterproofing applications.
Polyurethane Concrete Crack Injections
When dealing with concrete crack repair, polyurethane injection sealers are the perfect solution based on their flexibility and durability. This type of injection stops water leaks or airflow coming through cracks in concrete. The polyurethane sealant expands upon contact and fills the crack. The foundation will likely continue to shift; however, the polyurethane remains flexible and ensures no future water leakage.
Most importantly, we use polyurethane injections to prevent expensive repairs and problems in the future. One significant advantage of repairing concrete sooner than later is that the cost is much lower compared to repairing concrete walls damaged by corrosion. This method is perfect for parkades, residential/commercial foundations, or any below-grade concrete under hydrostatic pressure.

Epoxy Concrete Crack Injections
Epoxy injections are used for structural repair when the integrity of a concrete wall or slab needs to be maintained or repaired. Epoxy is an economical method of repairing non-moving cracks in concrete walls, slabs, or columns and can restore the concrete to its pre-cracked strength. It is essential before performing any injection that the cause of the crack is determined. If the source of cracking has not been determined and fixed, there is a high likelihood that the concrete may crack again.
Repairing by epoxy injection can restore structural integrity and eliminate moisture in cracks. This method is ideal for repairing cracks smaller than 1/8 of an inch. Cracks can be injected from one or both sides of a concrete member and can be completed vertically on walls or horizontally on floors or ceilings. Like polyurethane injections, epoxy injections allow the resin to migrate and fill all areas of the crack using high-pressure injection to restore structural integrity to the area.

Benefits of
Polyurethane or Epoxy Injections
When it comes to foundation crack repair, polyurethane and epoxy injections are more practical options than fixing your foundation cracks using an at-home repair kit. Epoxy and polyurethane injection resins seal cracks and eliminate water and air leaks from concrete walls. Polyurethane foam injection is ideal for repairing more extensive cracks. Our polyurethane foams work by filling voids and sealing around pipes. Polyurethane foam injections are the best way to stop an active air or water leak within the concrete wall. The expanding foam fills the crack and prevents future leaks. The air or water will remain outside and cannot penetrate the inside.
Our polyurethane and epoxy products are much more heavy-duty than the crack repair kits you can buy in the store. Professionals use them to repair cracks within your concrete structure permanently. Getting your concrete crack repaired the first time correctly is vital; doing so will save you time and money in the long run. Attempting to repair concrete cracks yourself and only having them fail in a few years will only make the overall issue worse.
