The Hidden Cost of ‘Waiting for the Experts’
A small leak in a condo’s foundation drips for weeks. Then—disaster. The crack widens, flooding the basement. Now you’re facing:
💸 $50k in mold remediation
😡 Lawsuits from angry residents
📉 A ruined reputation
Traditional repair? Too slow, too rigid, too expensive.
The DIY-Friendly (But Pro-Grade) Solution
Water-soluble PU grout lets anyone fix leaks fast. Here’s how:
Step 1: Find the Leak’s Source
-
Follow water trails upward (most leaks start higher than the drip point)
Step 2: Prep the Crack
-
Clean loose debris (a wire brush works)
-
For hairline cracks, drill a small injection port
Step 3: Inject Like a Pro
-
45° angle ensures deep penetration
-
Stop when grout resists (means the void is filled)
Step 4: Verify the Seal
-
Water flow should stop within 2 minutes
-
If not, reinject with fast-set formula
