PROJECT CASE STUDY

A gravity-fed epoxy repair avoided removing an expensive cast-in drain.

Waterseal developed a targeted repair for water ingress through a cracked cantilevered concrete slab beneath a cast-in stainless-steel channel drain at a South Fremantle residence.

THE CHALLENGE

The leak path sat beneath a drain that could not be removed.

Water was entering a suspended cantilevered concrete slab through a crack beneath a cast-in stainless-steel channel drain. Removing and replacing the firmly cast drain would have been costly, while soffit injection was not the preferred approach.

THE SOLUTION

Low-viscosity epoxy sealed the crack from above.

Waterseal flooded the space below the channel drain with a low-viscosity, 100% solids epoxy, allowing the resin to gravity-feed into and seal the concealed crack.

THE OUTCOME

A focused repair preserved the existing channel drain.

The selected method treated the concealed crack without removing the stainless-steel drain or relying on injection from the slab soffit.
