The article discusses the SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam solution for fixing concrete cracks, a common issue affecting many structures from homes to bridges.
The article highlights how modern concrete deteriorates over time due to water seepage through cracks.
- “After the water-stopping material has hardened into a plastic foam, the contractors removed it from the wall and floor with putty knives and scrapers. They removed the packer with a socket and socket wrench, then filled the remaining hole with mortar. With that, the job is complete.”
