This kit repairs on pipe penetration up to 1" in diameter.
Water can leak through a basement wall around the waterline. Leaks around water lines in concrete foundations are easily repaired from the inside. Hydra Stop 300 is injected into the space around the pipe and expands, sealing out water. Applied Technologies provides water sealing injection materials for the professional and DIY customer. - Jak na to + styl
I just used this product. The directions are simple and it saved me $300 compared to having a guy to come out and do it. My real estate agent recommend this to me.
Easy to use. This video was incredibly helpful. Thank you. I just hope I had enough resin to be effective. After a minute or so of running out, the resin then began to appear and bubble over the top port.
i was just quoted $700 for a company to do this... I can handle this one thanks to your video. Ordering up! Thanks!!! I have a water line and electrical line coming in together
How did it work out? I have water coming in from an electric line from my garage into the basement. Worth looking into?
I recently sealed up pass-throughs in my solid concrete basement wall (1” Cu water supply and 4” PVC sewer outlet) with their product. They responded to my pre-purchase email inquiries promptly.
Their single waterline kits would likely seal the gap between a single 1” copper water supply and a 1.25”-1.5” diameter pass-through, standard basement thickness. If your pass-through diameter is larger you should order one extra tube of HydroStop 300 with your kit so you have enough.
Their single waterline kit is not enough to seal between a single 4.5” sewer outlet and a 5” diameter pass-through, standard basement thickness. Plan to order two extra tubes of HydroStop 300 with your kit so you have enough.
Personally I would rather order more than enough HydroStop 300 tubes and have extra left over. Not having enough would be a disaster to correct later on. If you have a combo job then you could do what they recommended to me. Order their 20’ foundation crack kit to ensure there are enough materials. The only downfall is you will not get the waterline kit instructions and it is not posted on their website. You will get the flexible extension tube that helps out if the pass-through is near the floor.
My after-sale email inquiries went unanswered. So just figure you are on your own after that. Their currently provided caulk gun is improved and works fine. Current kits ship with PoxiPaste in separate jars instead of in a caulk tube, still works fine. Their PPE is okay but I rather use my own PPE since it fits me better. Most important just use some PPE! Also note that there will be an odor (fumes) so ventilation/respirator is work considering.
Because of Lake's feedback, we have added to the written instructions, "Poxy Paste has a 5-10 minute potlife" to clarify this issue. Poxy Paste is the grey material you see in the video. It is important to mix small batches of Poxy Paste because if you mix too much, it will set up before you have a chance to put it on the wall. Be sure to screw the cap onto the static mixer or it will come off the cartridge of Hydra Stop 300. Thank you for the feedback, Lake.
Will this still prevent water leakage if foam comes out through the poxy? I don't think I sealed it well and/or let it dry long enough.
Great video! Can this product work on a 4" pvc sewer main? I get some seepage coming in around that pipe
I saw that this is meant for use from inside where the exterior of the wall is against dirt. Ours is against gravel but under a concrete slab. Will it work against or with the gravel, what different method or amount may need to be used to make it work. Thank you
Great video 😊
hi,please help me with a seepage problem i installed a concealed pvc drainage pipe for rain water and its giving me a lot of trouble now , some how there became a small gap between pvc pipe and my roof concrete and now nothing is working for me its seepage all where on wall inside out and rain make it worst ,plz plz plz help me out and remember the temp in summer is round 45c and in winter its round 1c
How much area will one kit cover? I have a leak around a 1 inch water pipe and a 3 to 4 foot crack running down the side of the foundation in the basement. Thanks
Thanks for the video =)
You MUST mix the poxy paste in small batches. it cures in 5-6 minutes. Be careful with the long pointy mixer for the hydro resin. it comes off very easily. it's fairly easy to use overall.
The static mixer will not come off if you screw the cap back onto the cartridge.
I have 4 inch PVC type tubing bringing fluid in and returning back out separtely, coming through for my Geothermal close cirrcut system. One of them leaks with heavy rain storms with depth about 4 feet in dirt. Would this propduct be workable?
Would this work for an electric line coming into the basement from my garage?
all repairs are from the inside I see. What do you do to prepare the outside so the hydro stop does not just leak to the ground. this is in a pipe through wall appplication?
If the soil is not against the outside wall, you must apply extra Poxy Paste on the outside to hold the Hydra Stop 300 foam in place.
Does this work if the pipe is coming through the floor instead of a wall? In other words, does the top to bottom vertical orientation matter due to gravity or another reason? I have 2 black plastic pipes coming to an inside the basement jet pump, through the floor. We recently had some work done on that system to convert to a submersible pump and since the outside ground and pipes were disturbed for the first time in 50 years, water now enters during wet conditions. Please let me know
It will not work on floors. Thank you for asking.
How can you tell if the water coming from the hole in the foundation where the pipe comes through is from ground or drain water leaking through the hole from the outside of the house OR if the pipe is leaking inside the foundation? Neat product. Thanks.
Easy it only comes after a rain and leaks for days...
Test for chlorine, fluoride, or whatever your tap water has that storm water does not.
This was an effective fix until this weekend. Water started to come through where the paste is in contact with the pipe. Everything was sealed and dry for years. How can I fix this new issue?
What happens if when you put the water in, it doesn't come out the bottom port?
That's ok. it just needs the water so the foam reacts
We have about 10 PVC pipes coming thru the foundation as part of a Koi Pond (Outside) with the pumps/filters in the basement. We would need about 20 of the injection ports. How do we order that many without ordering 10 kits?
You probably already discovered this, but on their web site they sell bags of 10 ports (corner ports or surface ports). They charge ~$1 per port. Also you can buy individual cartridges of the Hydra Stop 300 foam if you already have your own epoxy and caulk gun and mask etc.
Will this work for pex A surrounded by a PVC conduit?
Yes it will work on PEX
How would I remove all the existing caulk that is around the pipe prior to using this product? or do I need to remove it?
let me know if you found anything. i was wondering the same thing.
Will this work for 4" PVC sewer line? There is a gap of about 1" all around the pipe.
a 1" gap is bigger than this kit is intended for. Placing backer rod around the pipe in the gap will reduce the amount of material you will need.
Applied Technologies LLC . any recommendations for backer rod ?
Will this still prevent water leakage if foam comes out through the poxy? I don't think I sealed it well and/or let it dry long enough.
Most likely you are fine
can I use this around gas pipe?
Yes
wire brushes can break off & cause rust though, right?
Can this be used on a block foundation?
No it cannot. Concrete only
Hi guys. Can I use this on a 1.25 inch pex well water pipe coming through my concrete wall? It started leaking here in NH due to high water table. Will the expansion crush the pex tube? Also can it be wet at all? Thx james
The concrete must be dry for the grey paste to stick. You may want to get two kits due to the size of the pipe.
@@aaronkuertz6012 ill have to wait until summer I guess. The water is seeping around the pipe. Not through it. There is literally 1/8 to 1/16 th of an inch gap between sleeve and bore hole.
I bought your product, and really want to use it. I'm currently trying to sell my house, but it's been raining for a while here, and the ground is saturated with water. therefore, the hole around the pipe just keeps leaking. any ideas what I can use to temporarily stop the leak, long enough to use your product? I was thinking of trying to get hydrostatic cement back there, but I can't think of how to inject it far enough back...
Melinda Hanson how did you make out? I have been dealing with the same problem lately.
Does this Dry out? Never opened. I ordered the kit 2 years ago and never got around to sealing the pipe.
So I just used it and the black part of the epoxy dried out a little a the tip but I took a screw driver and loosened it and it worked just as new.
How long do you have to wait after applying to turn the water back on?
This kit fixes leaks AROUND a waterline. Not a leaking waterline. So you do not turn off the water. Thanks for asking.
My pipe has a big hole around it, bigger than this video. I bought the kit before I discovered this. What do I do?
just ordered backer rod
Can this product be safely used to fill a gap between a sewerage pipe and concrete?
Yes. But it will take 2 or three kits to do so because of the larger size
how does a sealed area allow more material to be injected? This seems to be an inordinate amount of labor over and above what could be done with a hole prepped with a mist of water and one tube of windshield set urethane . It is also triggered to polymerize by water. Such windshield urethane sets up as hard as tire rubber. Solid as can be and available at local auto stores for under $20.00. Time is money to me.
Hi John,
I guess I focused on your idea of using a windshield urethane the first time I read your post and just now noticed you opening question. The injector ports are first applied and, once they have set (about 10 minutes) the rest of the opening is sealed. The foam than gets injected into the lower port, fills the void around the pipe and behind sealed area, and eventually comes out the top port. I continued injecting into the bottom until I could hardly squeeze the caulking gun and then plugged he bottom port.
Just curious to see if you used the windshield urethane and how it worked.
But what do you do if water is coming from around the pipe?
If you have applied the poxy paste, then you have gaps. When I did mine, I applied it quite heavily as recommended.
So my leak is not coming through the concrete but actually through the PVC carrier pipe around my water pipe. It sticks out about two inches from the wall. I was told I could still use this product to fix that leak. Is there anything I would do differently for that scenario? Thanks.
Since your sleeve sticks 2"away from the wall, I don't see how the Poxy Paste can attach a port. I would cut the PVC sleeve off flush with the wall and then proceed as normal.
@@aaronkuertz6012 Ok great thanks for the reply. Since the penetration thru concrete itself is actually sealed do I still need to cut a gap around the pentration or can I just leave it as is?
@@JoeHarman886 Leave it.
@@aaronkuertz6012 any recommendations for what to cut the sleeve with?
@@JoeHarman886 piano string or a “thermal saw”...also looks like a piano wire/string. Sold at plumbing supply shop and irrigation supply houses
Can this “in theory” fix a leaking HDPE potable water line that is what is actually leaking? To reiterate, the leak is actually the portable water line has a pinhole in it and I don’t want to under dig the front patio to remove the pipe and install new pipe. I’m not asking for you to except any liability but would the materials used cause any health issues? If you knew all of the costs involved with replacing the pipe and the lack of egress outside the building you would know why I am desperate enough to ask. Again this is all hypothetical ;-)
Replace the line. If it has formed one leak, it will form more. Also, you do not want drinking water coming into contact with any chemicals.
Isn’t silicone far superior to polyurethane? Should the gap be filled with silicone for better long term results?
The polyurethane goes into the crack and expands, filling voids and crevices inside the crack. The entire crack gets filled. I am not aware of a silicone that can expand inside of a crack.
@@aaronkuertz6012 Got it. I was thinking it was polyurethane caulk/sealer, in a tube.
So this is expanding foam, similar to “great stuff “?
can that be applied from outside wall? what is the product name?
It cannot be applied from the outside. A link to our website is is below the video and can be purchased there.
Can this kit/product be used to repair a crack on the exterior/outside of the concrete where the main line enters the house/concrete wall?
All injections must be done from the interior side of the basement.
@@aaronkuertz6012 Thank you for quickly responding. May I ask how you think this/your product's repair compares to applying exterior hydraulic cement (to stop incoming/penetrating water caused by a crack)? Is one approach indicated versus another?
Hydraulic cement will eventually wear out or degrade over time. - I have used hydraulic cement on the exterior of my house and it failed after 10 years. I like this solution because I don’t have to dig a 4 foot deep hole on the exterior side of the house. I can treat this from the inside. I used hydraulic cement on the exterior along with an epoxy paste on the exterior, four feet below grade. Neither of those products had the expansion capability of this type of product. I wish I had known about this 10 years ago
Based on the response from the manufacturer: "If the soil is not against the outside wall, you must apply extra Poxy Paste on the outside to hold the Hydra Stop 300 foam in place," I would say you can.
@@kevinholowicki241 That's what I did in 2018: 4 feet deep & 16 feet long (didn't know exactly where the crack/leak was), Applied hydraulic cement then. Problem is, the basement is finished & to get to the concrete wall from the inside I'd have to tear out the dry wall & to do that I'd have to dismantle & remove the 300 gallon pressure tank (I 'm on a well) & the laundry sink & hook up--& that's a lot of work.
epoxy not poxy :)
Alister Waller the name of the product is poxy paste, which is an epoxy
