- DIY Foundation shrinkage crack repair.
Shrinkage cracks are quite common in the new construction, mainly below the egress windows. These cracks can be repaired using expanding polyurethane injection to stop water seepage.

Very well done video PLUS you used the right safety equipment. One suggestion for lining up the plastic ports: You can use a long thin screwdriver or wooden skewer to guide them into the crack and keep the channel free from epoxy. You can also drill out a portion to give a better injection site but make sure to flush it out with water.
thanks and good suggestions, I am hoping I don't have to do this again :-)
Awesome video. Be sure to wear a properly fitted respirator when working with concrete dust and toxic fumes. Also make sure the correct filter cartridges for the working conditions are used with the respirator. Wear eye protection as well.
Nice video guys, good job. I have more of a structural crack, and I'm using the epoxy injection. Hopefully this week I'll be applying the ports.
Good Luck!
Good video, nice job!
Thanks - very helpful!
Thank you for the video. Is it still sealed now after 3 years?
Was is hard to inject over thin cracks?
It is sealed and dry after 3 years, it went through good amount of snow and many rains over the 3 years, I did not put the insulation back yet as I am in no rush, may be I will do a review video sometime before I close it. It was not hard to inject, mine was around 1/8 of inch cracks at some places and some places less than 1/8. I am satisfied with the product and outcome of the work. Hope that helps
Nice video, how has the crack repair gone since you used the polyurethane? Thanks
We repaired this summer, I will have to let at-least one winter pass by to confirm, we had few big rains after repair, did not see any dampness, but winter snow would be real test for this repair. Water seepage at the beginning of the video is during winter, so waiting for winter for the first time :-), hoping this is fixed for good, will keep you posted.
Hello Robert, As promised, here is the update, No Leaks this winter, It did a good job!, also this winter was light on snow, so I will wait for another winter to call it a done deal before I add the insulation to wall.
Do you need to cover up the injection holes after knocking the m off?
Max, We did not, and in my mind it is better to NOT cover to monitor for any moisture in that area, mine is completely dry and no leaks after this work couple years back.
