Repair of concrete with holes or honeycomb
Concrete is prone to many disintegration problems that gradually put structural stability at risk. Similarly, cement plaster on foundations sometimes needs to be repaired, as it can detach from the foundation.
Formation of perforated concrete: Possible repairs?
Concrete is a material that can undergo various deformations. During the consolidation process, the concrete is prone to shrinkage, which usually results in cracks or holes in the visible parts. The most common feature of concrete with holes or honeycombs in the structure is most common. The problem with perforated concrete stems from improper placement of the material and a lack of vibration applied to it.
In most cases, the consequences will only be aesthetic: however, the holes can cause water infiltration, which can be a real danger to your construction. It is for this reason that we recommend preventive repair of concrete with holes in order to avoid future problems. What happens if the problem of perforated concrete is not caught in time?
In many cases, it is not uncommon for homeowners to wait until water infiltration is detected in the basement before planning repairs to the foundation. However, it is advisable to repair the damage of the concrete with holes well before the first infiltrations appear. At this stage, the specialized company Groupe Fissure Expert Fondation will be able to take charge of the process of repairing the concrete foundations.

How do you fix holes in concrete?
This analysis will allow our team to define the most appropriate type of repair. There are several solutions for repairing holes in concrete. At Groupe Fissure Expert Fondation, we use flexible polyurethane or epoxy for the repair of cracks on concrete. In order to ensure their effectiveness, the Fissure Expert Foundation Group uses different techniques such as high-pressure or low-pressure injection to seal honeycombs in concrete.
High-pressure injection allows a liquid, including polyurethane, to be introduced into a very narrow crack at very high pressure. This technique makes it possible to infiltrate any type of crack and achieves a 100% efficiency rate.
Low-pressure injection allows a liquid at very low pressure to be introduced into a narrow crack. This technique relies more on the principle of gravity rather than the principle of pressure per se. The pressure exerted is around 50 psi.
The application of these products using our techniques allows your foundations to regain their waterproofing and solidity.
