Would have been nice for you to break the blocks to see how well it bonded together.
i watched so far similar shows more than two dozens. No one come up with this type of demonstration to us. I just wants to extend my thanks to your show that makes us to understand totally how the issues pop up and how to handle to get rid off that very clearly. Thank you so much to BLR and God bless you all.
I'm home shopping and most of the properties around here are 80-100+ years old with cracks in the foundations, came across your video and I know it's 3 years old but THANK YOU so much, this looks like an easy yet solid way to get this done that I could do myself!
Good Evening! Yes, many older homes have foundation cracks, some of them fairly large. But you're right, filling the crack then reinforcing it with carbon fiber cloth and epoxy makes the repair super-strong. In fact, the repair will be stronger than the surrounding masonry. I really like this system.
Bye for now,
Steve
Just discovered a crack in our foundation today and find THIS is very helpful...especially the difference between epoxy and polyurethane; thank you.
What happens if once installed this product fails and starts to leak after a number of years? Can this product be reinfected or does one have to dig up from the outside the second time around?
Very nice video. I have been in the construction for 30yrs. Crystalline silica is found in materials such as concrete ,masonry, rock. When these materials are made into fine dust and suspended in the air, breathing in these fine particles can produce lung damage.
Mr.Mike you're truly a teacher at what you do for sure, I enjoyed watching you do your thing and learned a lot from your video..
Thanks again for sharing.
Donald reaching out from Canada.
Thank you for taking the time to show and explain this project and product, so meticulously...I appreciate it.
We had a recent downpour for a couple days in NY and there's a crack in the foundation wall where some water got in. Not much but I'm sure it's not going to get better with time.....
The drawback is that it's behind a large slop sink with all its plumbing etc....That's life i guess....Thank you again and stay well.
Thank you,the best DIY for fixing crack
Thanks for doing this video for us DIY guys. I learnt the process and it was nicely done. Kudos to you.
great vid! read thru your description but can't find any mention of the products/tools used in the video. could you post links for these items?
Excellent video! Very informative!
Glad it was helpful! Drop by my website baileylineroad.com for a visit sometime. You'll find lots of stuff there, including tool giveaways, articles and lots of other stuff of interest to hands-on, how-to people.
Bye for now and thanks for watching!

@@baileylineroadWOW! Fantastic website! Just like reading a home improvement magazine! Perhaps you can answer a quick question... I have seen shows like Maine Cabin Masters where they place concrete "pucks" under foundation poles to level cabins. How is that not affected by frost and shifting each season. Don't you have to get below the frost line with foundation supports? Just curious... Thanks again!
Hi Steve: regarding the expansion of the filler material, is there a chance that the force would actually widen or elongate the original fissure in the foundation? In a real-world use (vice the lab-model demonstration using cinder blocks, which is very cool by the way) my concern is that the filler would have no where to go and might either fracture the structure or blow-out the rear of the foundation (on the earthen side). Thanks sir for any insight! Great videos and your website is excellent. Gary
Yes
3 things are in play here, the strength of the entire foundation's weight, the force of the expansion and the strength of the epoxy. My guess would be that the epoxy would rip open before the foundation would move sideways. Going through the rear of the foundation and into the soil wouldn't negatively effect the structural integrity, it would actually be a benefit because it would prevent water from seeping in, which then expands once frozen into ice every winter. The constant icing, then liquifying cycle is what causes a tremendous amount of damage to a cracked foundation
I agree. The epoxy is expanding only when soft and would ooze out (as it did in the video). Once hard it no longer is expanding.
First here and right in time for my concrete floor project. Thank you .
Do not use this product with concrete blocks. The polyurethane just falls into the first block void wasting your time and money. Note in this simulation, BLR has sealed the voids so it is like a solid cement (poured) wall.
This was my question. how to avoid it filling in to voids... What would be the solution to repair cracks in concrete blocks? Thanks
thank you for taking the time to do this nice explain video.
This is exactly the product I need right now. Spring melt is coming into my basement in three places. This should do the trick.
You know I'm sure nobody wants to think about it but if you're not sure what kind of sealant is used on the outside of your foundation wall it wouldn't hurt to do some espionage and if you have to rent yourself a tiny little Kubota and dig out your your dirt and then proceed to do this properly since it is never or almost never done the right way at the inception of the foundation I had a friend that did it with a shovel and a couple of people or should I say a couple of shovels and a couple of people and he was able to do it in a couple of days
Thank you! saved me a lot of trouble!!!
Great tutorial
WOW, good job!
Great video!
Thanks for the vid
Wow super
Tks
Omg i have so many questions right now
I have a cinderblock foundation like the test you set up here. However, my crack is in the mortar where the cavities of the cinderblock are exposed. I fear if I use this technique, I'll just end up filling the cavities in the cinderblock and not the space between the cinderblocks. Granted I could probably use a TON of the foam to make it work. What do you do in that situation?
The crack is horizontal, across about 5 blocks btw.
Amazing video!!! is there anything for outside cracks in the foundation ?
That is me also, crack only on outside.
This is where I got the product. NextStar Technologies.
Cement hardener and Quick Wall 10 mins tops
Also, do you have to get rid of all the dirt from the outside of the basement to fill the crack from the outside?
I was thinking just the same thing what is that there is just not very tight and your cracks are very wide I could see using a lot of product otherwise
Hi I'm in Wales UK but I'm from Namibia , where can I get this product in Wales I'm having a cracked concrete water reservoir which I want to fix.
Where to buy this setup? I am in Ireland
really cool
I was wondering if anyone can please answer my question. I am doing this in my basement very soon. I have steel plates with heavy duty bolts to attach the carbon fiber into the sill plate at the top of the wall, but I don't know what to do with the carbon fiber at the bottom. I've heard (but never actually seen) when you can drill a hole into the basement concrete floor and push the carbon fiber into the floor with a steel pin and then add more epoxy??? What do you do with the carbon fiber at the bottom of the wall??? What do you attach it to? Help please and thank you.
This products is made just for foundation and basement cracks problems,? I have a 6 feet exterior wall with two cracks coming from the foundation, can I use this product?
Is the injection structurally/chemically different than great stuff?
Good Morning! Great question. The foam injection part of the system is denser and stronger than regular spray foam, but that's not really where the strength of the system comes from. It's the carbon fibre that adds the real strength. I don't think there's any chance that foam alone or epoxy alone will stabilize a crack that wants to get bigger. But the carbon fibre certainly does the trick when it comes to strength. I hope this helps.
Bye for now,
Steve
can I use this system if I have a water coming out of the wall?
in order to get the carbon fiber strengt you need to remove by vaccum all the air bubbles, you better use normal fiberglass in 2-3 layers and get a better strengt at lower cost.
You would get much better strength if the carbon fibre is applied properly with the correct epoxy resin... and it will resist movement. Fibreglass will allow more movement therefore it's more likely to cause cracks and delaminate. Fifty layers of fibreglass still wouldn't be the same strength as carbon fibre. I use carbon fibre to support suspended slabs with one active edge.... i would never use fibreglass for the same purpose.
Hello , was just wondering where I can buy the kit you used to patch up crack?… Home Depot?
What happens if the whole wall is leaking how much does that cost?
would this work on an inground circular concrete hot tub, that has a horizontal crack that is 24 inches above ground, all around the hot tub, 6 inches below the top of the hot tub where you enter.
Should add "DriCore" or polyurethane to the title
what do you use for a horizontal crack? thanks....
Hi, nice video.
Do you have any videos showing how to inject a honeycomb concrete crack?
I have a crack exactly in the honeycomb concrete, I think people make holes when they deal with this kind of problem, but I am not sure.
Thanks.
I wonder how important it is to use an epoxy that is only a temporary situation which only has to be taken off why wouldn't you just put on some other sealer caulk whatever so that when you go to remove it it would just come off simply
What did you do about the “overflow of on the ecterior?
and would you make a list of the products you used?
Would you recommend the patch step in all cases? Also... it seems like the tubes are not dual anymore since your video. Does this mean additional kits if a full 8' is needed?
would this work on a cement wall on the patio/yard?
What if crack is wider that nozzle also can I use strong ties with fill and carbon cloth dbl it up like
Would this work the same on a less porous slab wall?
Can I use this for the exterior foundation crack?
Hello Akin! Yes, this system works really well on both interior and exterior faces of a foundation. Thanks for watching! Steve
Where do I purchase this product?
Can this be done for a brick wall?
Do you have a link to purchase the product ? Or the name of it?
I'm having trouble finding these products in the USA. Can you help. I noticed you don't have any links where to buy these products. Only Home Depot Canada sells them and will not ship to the US.
I know right
Just search for polyurethane concrete crack kit. It don't have to be DRICORE. You can find plenty of kits. Pro tip get a shop vac and bungie the hose to your arm/wrist while you are grinding, buy a mask rated for concrete. You may have to buy the carbon fiber separate, but it will still work with 99% of the kits. Lowes and home depo do have this stuff under a different brand but it is 2x more expensive than just buying a kit online.
Can this be used in an exterior concrete wall?
Hello! Yes, you can use this system outdoors, but the repaired area would need some kind of protection from UV rays. Keeping things painted should do the trick.

I have a underground basement has a few cracks but only leaks slightly with very heavy rain or snow. I was told I had to spend 4000 to demo the WHOLE wall to fix it because the basement is underground. Can this stuff help and how expensive is it? How can you be sure it doesn’t leak if you are fixing it from the inside
Foundation crack injection will work on poured concrete and concrete block foundation. The cost is about $400/crack. We provide this service in Chicagoland area. Lifetime warranty.
ok, this ol mechanic says...if your tire has a number of leaks, does patchwork make it sound? or do you do it the proper way -re&re the defective tire/basement wall- one thing you learn over the years is that 1/2assery AlwaysBites...listen to the expert& get 'er done Now, because it'll co$t a lot more down the road & its possible the home insurance won't cover the damage when they see the 'repairs' you've made, never mind the flack you'll get from 'she who must be obeyed' ...just sayin...cuz BTDT
Last time I checked I always thought most basements were underground
does this work with horizontal cracks also
Hello Dianne! Yes, this system works on all kinds of cracks. It's really quite remarkable.
The only issue I see in my area is most block foundations are filled with rebar and the cores filled with cement. Will this method work in this situation?
Are you trying to make a structural repair or stop water infiltration?
Where can i get all tools and materials?
looks like great foam? that will do nothing long term if the wall is leaking from the outside.
Don’t you need to spray water in the port before you inject the poly?
this system has a 2 canister mix so no. Other systems are 1 canister and need the water to activate which is why you spray or inject some water first.
I'm in the process of fixing a leaking crack, only ever leaks after winter and or very very heavy rain. I saw this product on Home Depot but needed to buy all the items separately. Ordered something else called radonseal concrete foundation crack repair kit off amazon instead. few install videos make it look a lot nicer to use. Same sort of product but 1 tube, need to spray water into the port for the product to activate but the results look very good and lots of great reviews on it.
What is this called? And where can I get it?
Where do I buy it
whats the name of this
How do I get this Product in Nigeria???
Or the USA? Good luck to you UTUBE Channels in Nigeria.
Roger Neal Jr. : The products we use are from Emecole. They have a DIY kit.
is this much better than quickcrete?
Think about it quick create like most cement products works good and compression but not very good in suspension is that the right word anyway you can put a lot of weight on concrete but don't trust it to hold very much if it's not full of rebar and such
where can you buy this product?
home depot for one, check out dricores website
Ryan H only in canada. Not avail in USA
@@Crazyreseller Exactly, why not in the USA?
@@RogerNeal777 dricore is a canadian company. there is equivalent stuff you can get in the us
Does this work on a foundation running beam that is cracked ? and not CMU blocks
You retired RCAF?
I wouldn't use a foam based product. It won't last long. Use epoxy injection.
Last video I saw said epoxy is old technology now because it has been found to get brittle and crack and leak starts again... the video claimed foam based filler expands and contracts...
Where you get this stuff!
home depot has it, not a kit so you need to buy the prep, filler, ports, fiber mat, epoxy separately which might be a good thing if you need more and don't need to buy the entire kit
I think I would have laid the block down in order to put more product on the carbon fiber but now that I'm thinking it would be pretty hard to turn your foundation on its side
Those two blocks alone like $30
What is this stuff called....no link?

@@RogerNeal777 Yeah I bought a couple repair kits. Thanks man.
@@nealdutta4069 where did you buy your kits?
@@RogerNeal777 You're right sir. I live in Canada. I was able to buy online through home depot.
Messy time-consuming costly too
What....................... NO SAFTY GLASSES PPE.!
That was weird
am i the only person who noticed the semi skeletal face smoking a cigar or cigarette inside the block at 0:51 ?

I thought I was the only one who used to see superimposed pictures and videos everyone used to say I was nuts
Nextstar technologies sells a better version of these products.
You attack this problem from the outside....
I actually think that's the best way to go
