What is PU Injection?
PU (polyurethane) injection is a specialized waterproofing and crack-repair technique in which a liquid polyurethane resin is injected under pressure into cracks, joints, and voids in concrete or masonry structures.
On contact with moisture, the resin expands and cures into a flexible, watertight seal that permanently blocks water movement. Because the material penetrates deep into fine cracks that surface coatings cannot reach, PU injection is one of the most effective solutions for stopping active water leakage in Kerala's high-rainfall, high-humidity conditions, without demolition or major structural disturbance.
PU Injection Process
-
Small injection ports are installed at pre-drilled locations on the underside of the roof. Polyurethane (PU) grout is then injected using either low-pressure or high-pressure equipment, depending on the condition and severity of the leakage.
-
PU grout is a highly flowable material designed to penetrate cracks, joints, and hidden voids. Once injected, it expands to seal the affected area completely, minimizing shrinkage while maintaining long-term stability without cracking, separating, or deteriorating.
-
Various types of grouts are available for repairing and strengthening concrete and masonry structures. Selecting the appropriate grout depends on factors such as the substrate, the extent of damage, and the compatibility of the repair material with the existing structure to ensure durable performance.
-
As the PU grout expands, it fills and seals cracks, gaps, and cavities created by water infiltration. This makes PU injection an effective waterproofing solution for active leaks in concrete cracks, construction joints, and expansion joints, helping restore the structure's integrity and prevent further water ingress.
Common Uses of PU Injection
PU injection is used wherever water ingress, dampness, or structural cracks threaten a building's durability. Common applications include:
-
Basement & Retaining Wall Leaks: Seals active water seepage in below-ground structures.
-
Concrete Crack Repair: Fills and waterproofs both static and moving cracks.
-
Construction & Expansion Joints: Restores watertightness at joints prone to leakage.
-
Lift Pits & Sump Areas: Stops persistent water entry in wet, enclosed spaces.
-
Tunnels & Underground Works: Controls groundwater ingress in infrastructure projects.
-
Water Tanks & Swimming Pools: Seals leaking concrete without draining the structure.
-
Foundations & Slabs: Prevents rising damp and protects reinforcement from corrosion.
