Where water stopping helps

Water stopping resin injection can be used where water is tracking through cracks, construction joints, retaining walls, below-ground concrete or basement structures. It is useful for active leaks, recurring damp entry points and structural leak sealing where the water path needs to be sealed from within the defect.

How the injection works

Mechanical packers are installed into the affected area and specialist resin is injected under control. Polyurethane injection leak repair can react with water, expand into the leak path and form a seal. Acrylic gels may be selected for fine cracks, movement-sensitive joints or below ground waterproofing details.

Choosing the right resin

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic polyurethane resins behave differently, so the correct system depends on the leak, flow rate, crack width, joint movement and structure. The aim is targeted crack injection waterproofing that stops water ingress without unnecessary breakout.

Who we help

This service is aimed at loss adjusters, structural engineers, basement conversion contractors and property owners who need a practical route for leaks in below-ground structures, retaining walls, construction joints and cracked concrete.

Resin Injection

Resin injection is a modern ground improvement method that places expanding structural resin into weak or voided soil zones below a building. It is fast, targeted and often avoids large-scale excavation.

Ground Stabilisation

When soil loses strength, washes away or contains voids, foundations and slabs can move. We use injected resin to fill gaps, bind loose material and improve support beneath affected areas.

FAQ

Leak Sealing & Water Stopping FAQs

Straight answers before you book a survey.

What is resin injection leak sealing?

It is a water ingress repair method where resin is injected through packers into a leaking crack, joint or void so the water path is sealed inside the structure.

Can it stop active flowing water?

Yes, suitable polyurethane resins can be used for active leaks, but the resin choice and injection plan depend on flow rate, access and the construction detail.

Is this the same as basement tanking?

No. Basement waterproofing injection targets the leak path directly. It can sit alongside wider waterproofing or drainage design, but it is not a replacement for every tanking system.
