Leak Remediation Services

Water may enter through a foundation crack, concrete joint, structural transition, penetration or another part of the building, not necessarily through the roof. Select the service that best matches the visible problem, or request an assessment when the source is unclear.

Address water entering through foundation walls, wall-to-floor joints, penetrations, crawl spaces and other below-grade areas.

We use high pressure-injection methods to fill eligible concrete cracks and stop cracks and water pathways within the material.

Investigate and repair more complex leaks involving concrete, masonry, wood, steel, joints, transitions and structural assemblies.

FINDING THE SOURCE

Finding the Source of Water Intrusion

A visible stain, damp wall or wet floor may be several feet from the actual entry point. Water can move along joints, framing, concrete cracks, pipes and structural transitions before it becomes visible inside the property.

That is why the first step is understanding the building and tracing the likely water path. Older structures, crawl-space homes, multifamily buildings and commercial properties can each behave differently. The repair should follow the source and the construction, not just the visible damage.

When the problem is caused by shingles, flashing, metal panels or a roofing membrane, the appropriate direction may be roof repair instead of structural leak remediation.

Common warning signs:

  • Water appearing after heavy or wind-driven rain

  • Damp foundation walls or crawl-space areas

  • Cracks that become wet or actively leak

  • Moisture around joints, penetrations or transitions

  • Recurring stains after previous surface repairs

  • Water entering an occupied commercial or multifamily property

PRESSURE INJECTION & REPAIR

Specialized Methods for Concrete and Structural Leaks

Platinum Roofs uses the KIP pressure-injection process for eligible concrete cracks, including cracks as small as .002 inches. Rather than covering only the visible face of the crack, pressure injection is intended to fill the water pathway within the material.

The correct approach depends on the substrate, crack movement, water activity, access and structural condition.

Some leaks can be handled through concrete crack injection, while others require joint work, grouting or broader structural leak repair.

  • Pressure injection of eligible concrete cracks

  • Foundation-wall and below-grade leak repair

  • Concrete and masonry leak remediation

  • Structural work involving wood and steel assemblies

  • Joint, penetration and transition repairs

  • Specialized grouting and tank-bottom sealing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is leak remediation?

Leak remediation involves locating the source and pathway of water intrusion and selecting a repair method for the affected crack, joint, foundation, or structural assembly. It goes beyond repairing the visible stain or applying a surface patch.

How can I tell whether water is coming from the roof or foundation?

Water entering through a lower wall, foundation crack, wall-to-floor joint, crawl space, or below-grade area may point to a foundation or structural source. Water near ceilings or upper walls may require roof repair, but water can travel before becoming visible. An assessment is the safest way to identify the actual source.

What is the KIP crack-injection system?

The KIP system is a pressure-injection method used for eligible leaking cracks. Platinum Roofs can inject suitable cracks as small as .002 inches so the repair material reaches into the water pathway rather than remaining only on the surface.

Can an active concrete crack be injected while water is entering?

Some actively leaking cracks can be treated through concrete crack injection, depending on the concrete, crack condition, movement, access, and water pressure. The crack must be evaluated before the repair method is selected.

Can a foundation leak be repaired from inside?

In many situations, accessible cracks or joints can be treated through foundation leak repair from the interior without excavating the entire exterior wall. The correct method depends on the source, foundation construction, water path, and condition of the surrounding material.

Does every leaking concrete crack indicate a structural problem?

No. Some cracks create a water pathway without indicating major structural failure. Other cracks may show movement, displacement, or broader deterioration that deserves additional evaluation. Platinum Roofs assesses the condition before recommending injection or structural leak repair.

Do you provide leak remediation for commercial properties?

Yes. Platinum Roofs provides leak-remediation services for homes, businesses, multifamily properties, commercial facilities, and specialized large-scale applications.

What are specialized grouting and tank-bottom sealing used for?

Specialized grouting can fill voids, joints, or water pathways in larger concrete and structural applications. Tank-bottom grouting and sealing are used where water intrusion or unsupported areas beneath a tank require a more specialized repair approach.

How do I request a leak-remediation assessment?

Request an assessment online or call Platinum Roofs at (302) 226-4510. Share where the water appears, when it occurs, the type of property, and any previous repairs that have been attempted.
