Foundation Crack Waterproofing

What is Hydrophilic Polyurea?

Hydrophilic polyurea is a specialized foam material designed to address cracks with water issues by expanding upon contact with water, sealing the crack, and preventing further water damage. At Crack Attack, we utilize hydrophilic polyurea along with oakum rope to create a better seal in larger cracks with water issues.
