I don't write reviews on many items, because most of the items I buy already have plenty of reviews. The Simpson Strong Tie Crack-Pac FLEX-H2O Polyurethane Crack Sealer Kit doesn't have many reviews, so I figured I would write one.
There are 2 kinds of basement crack injection kits. One is Epoxy, which is used if there is a structural issue. The other is Polyurethane which is used to stop water from seeping into the basement. Most of the time a homeowner would need the polyurethane injection kit like this one, but if you aren't sure, have a professional come and check it out. I needed this polyurethane kit because I had water seeping into my basement through a crack that went all the way up my basement wall. The kit was very easy to use. The paste that you use to install the injection ports and block the crack was a little messy, but not bad. Also, before I used the paste, it looked like there wasn't much of it (2 small containers), and I was worried I would run out, but after I started using it, I realized that I had plenty. I had enough to do an 11 inch crack. One warning I can give about this paste is once you mix the 2 pastes together you have a minimal time you can work with it because it starts to harden. I would say maybe 5 minutes, so make sure you just mix a little bit at a time.
I also had plenty of the polyurethane injection foam. My crack wasn't huge, maybe 3/16th of an inch in one 6 inch place, but most of the time it was 1/8th of an inch or below, and the crack hadn't gotten any bigger the 3 years I have lived in the house. I probably had enough injection foam to inject an 11 inch crack, but I didn't have enough injection ports. Personally I think you could space the ports greater than 8 inches apart, but I followed the instruction, because I didn't want to screw it up. The injection process was simple, and straight forward. The mixing was easy as long as you follow the instructions. I would say from start to finish it took me about 3 hours, but I also had people talking to me, so I might have been able to do it a quicker. In the end, this kit did exactly what it said it would do. I have a basement that is leak free, and we have gotten a lot of rain the last couple of days. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little cheaper, but it is worth the cost. I'm sure it would cost a whole lot more to have a company come out and fix it for you, and they would probably use the same injection kit.
