Our FAQ's

The time required to repair a leak in a lift using concrete crack injection depends on the size and severity of the leak. However, it is a relatively quick process that can be completed within a day or two.

Concrete leaks in lifts can be caused by a number of factors, such as poor construction, wear and tear, and water infiltration. These leaks can lead to damage to the lift and its surrounding structure, and can also be a safety hazard.

Concrete crack injection is a method of repairing cracks in concrete structures by injecting a liquid polymer or epoxy into the crack. This fills the crack and strengthens the concrete to prevent further damage.

Concrete crack injections are considered a safe and effective solution for repairing basement leaks. However, as with any construction work, it's important to ensure that the work is done by a trained professional to minimise any potential risks.

Concrete crack injections are a method of repairing leaks in basement foundations by injecting a liquid polymer or epoxy into the crack. This fills the crack and strengthens the concrete to prevent further water infiltration and damage.

Basement leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, such as heavy rainfall, poor drainage, and cracks in the foundation. These leaks can lead to water damage and mould growth, and can also be a safety hazard.

AWS has the experience and expertise to properly identify the source of moisture and fix it, ensuring that the mould does not return. We also have the equipment and knowledge to safely remove mouldy materials and clean the affected area. Hiring a professional like AWS will save you time and money!

The steps involved in mould remediation typically include: identifying the source of moisture that caused the mould growth, removing the mouldy materials, cleaning and sanitising the affected area, and fixing the source of moisture to prevent future mould growth.

Mould remediation is the process of removing mould from a building or structure. Mould growth can cause health problems, as well as damage to the building and its contents. Remediation is necessary to remove the mould and prevent it from returning.

Yes, rising damp can cause health problems. The excess moisture can lead to the growth of mould and mildew, which can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues in some individuals. It can also cause damage to the building's structure and lead to the deterioration of the materials used in the construction.

Repairs may include installing vents in the walls or foundation, creating a system of air circulation within the building, damp-proofing, or injecting concrete cracks. Our experts will provide an assessment of the building to decide which type of repair is appropriate for the specific case.

Concrete crack injection is a method of filling and sealing cracks in concrete structures to prevent the infiltration of moisture. This can help to prevent rising damp by preventing ground moisture from entering the building through cracks in the foundation or walls.

Sub-floor ventilation helps to reduce the amount of moisture in the air by introducing fresh air and removing stale air. This can help to prevent the growth of mould and mildew, and can also help to reduce the risk of damage to the building's structure.

Some of the most common symptoms of salt contamination include: efflorescence (white, crusty deposits on the surface), cracking, discoloration, and erosion. To confirm the presence of salt contamination, a laboratory test can be conducted to analyse the samples taken from the affected area. AWS can conduct a professional inspection to assess the extent of the problem and determine the best course of action.

Efflorescence refers to the buildup of white, crusty mineral salts on masonry surfaces like concrete, brick, render, or mortar. This occurs when moisture penetrates the substrate and causes the salts to leach out and appear on the surface. This common issue is often a sign of moisture intrusion and can lead to further damage if left unaddressed. Efflorescence removal and proper waterproofing can help prevent its recurrence. Contact AWS for efflorescence solutions and protect your masonry surfaces.

Australia has strict waterproofing standards for buildings (AS 3740) that can only be met by qualified professionals. Water damage is no joke, so make sure to leave it to the experts at AWS!

Common causes of water damage include cracks in the walls or foundation, clogged drains, and damaged roofing or gutters.

There are many common signs of rising damp to look out for around the home.

• Wet spots on walls
• White deposits on wall surface (salts)
• Wallpaper falling off
• Bubbles forming under the plaster
• Rotting floor skirts
• Mould formation

Structures can typically be used immediately after the injection process is completed, but specific restrictions may apply. Consult a professional for specific guidelines.

The cost of concrete crack injection depends on the size of the crack and the method of repair.

Limitations on the types of structures that can be repaired with concrete crack injection include structural integrity and the location of the cracks.

Risks and hazards associated with concrete crack injection include potential health and safety risks from the materials used and the possibility of incorrect application.

Building codes and regulations may vary by region and the specific type of structure. It's important to consult a professional for specific requirements.

The process typically takes a few hours and the repair can last from several years to several decades.

Advantages of concrete crack injection include a quick and effective repair process and long-lasting results. Disadvantages include potential cost and the need for professional assistance.

Before injection, cracks are assessed for size, shape, and location. A repair plan is developed based on this assessment.

The methods of concrete crack injection include pressure injection, gravity feed, and low-pressure injection.

Materials used in concrete crack injections include epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylate resins.
