#019  The owner of such a company works a lot, of course. Travels a lot, probably. But he can't be everywhere at once. This means that finding the right associates, controlling the quality of the tasks performed, building a network of contacts, and acquiring customers become a project, not just a single task.

When Using Injection Rubber Is a Way Better Choice Than Acrylic Gel

July 29, 2020 06:00 - 53 minutes - 36.7 MB

#009 of Concrete Injection Made Easy Podcast.  One complaint I often hear from clients who have ordered concrete leak sealing procedures in which an acrylic gel was used is that under some conditions, the expansion joint leaks again. This problem happens typically because of dry weather, which causes acrylic gels dry out and shrink. And when acrylic gels dry, they lose their elasticity, and ability to adhere to concrete walls. And that’s why water starts leaking.  From the #009 episode of ...
