A hydro seal is a "lifesaver" of concrete bowls of swimming pools, rings of wells, basements, water tanks and other concrete structures. After all, problems associated with the appearance of leaks in concrete happen quite often. Let's figure out how to properly eliminate leaks and what we need for this.
What equipment is needed to carry out work on sealing leaks in concrete?
If you know the place of the leak, then in addition to the hydraulic seal, the so-called special repair compound, gloves and clean water, nothing else is required for mixing the repair mixture. The most important thing is to choose a quality material and make repairs according to the instructions.
We offer you to briefly familiarize yourself with the manual for the use of a hydraulic seal using the example of the Turkish-made Teknoplug material.
Instructions for use of hydraulic seals:
- If it is a pool or tank, you should drain the water.
- It is necessary to work on a prepared surface, cleaned of grease, rust, dirt, dust and other substances that can reduce adhesion to concrete.
- The material should be handled manually and kneaded in a small amount, as it begins to set in a minute.
- Teknoplug should be mixed with water in a proportion of 270 ml per 1 kg of dry powder. The material is mixed correctly if it is plastic and well molded in the hands.
- It is necessary to mold a figure like a mushroom and seal the leak with a "mushroom leg" inside, as you see in the photo, holding the material in this position with your hand for about a minute until the leak stops completely.
- The time of complete curing of the hydro seal is 2 minutes.
- After eliminating the leak, it is recommended to treat the area with penetrating waterproofing. We would like to draw your attention to Teknomer 100, this material will provide absolute waterproofing protection.
