Sealing Active Leaks by Plugging

HYDROPLUG
Leaky foundation walls can cause damage in the structures. Water leaks will actually flow through cracks and penetrates in the concrete wall. The cause is usually failed waterproofing or an inadequate drainage system, which allows hydrostatic pressure to build up on the outside of the structure. These layers are sometimes damaged during construction, or leaks can be caused by changes in environmental conditions or cracks in foundation.

The usual approach is to excavate the area where the leaks are located and repair the waterproofing. Positive-side waterproofing is an effective and proven solution. But in most cases, it’s not possible. Leaking floors, for instance, are almost always inaccessible from the exterior. Fortunately, Rimab's Specialty Building Products, Inc. have a solution to stop and seal active water leaks from the inside (negative side) of the structure.

Rimab's Specialty Building Products, Inc. make “Hydro-Plug” a low-viscous liquid which is mixed with a fresh Portland cement to form a quick setting cement plugs that instantly hardens even against water flowing under pressure. Hydro-Plug is used for plugging high pressure leaks in below ground structure such as basement floor and walls, water reservoirs, tunnels, mines.
