When water keeps finding its way back through cracks, cold joints, or porous walls, it’s a warning sign that your structure is under pressure. At Zavza Seal LLC, our licensed chemical grout injection specialists stop water infiltration at its source, restoring strength and stability to your foundation without demolition.
Using ASTM D5295 and ACI 515.1R compliant systems, we inject precision-formulated polyurethane, acrylate, and silicate grouts that seal leaks, fill hidden voids, and stabilize soil under active load conditions.
Every project is performed by certified technicians, backed by long-term warranties, and verified under our New York Home Improvement Contractor License, so you can trust the results will hold long after the water’s gone.

What Is Chemical Grout Injection and How It Works
When cracks, voids, or leaks form behind walls or beneath slabs, it’s often impossible to reach the source without major excavation. Chemical grout injection solves that problem from the inside out.
Our certified technicians inject → react → expand → seal using advanced resin systems designed to stop water intrusion and restore structural integrity. Under controlled pressures between 500 and 1500 psi, grout is injected directly into the affected zones where it reacts in seconds with gel times as low as 10 to 60 seconds depending on substrate temperature and resin type.
As it reacts, the material expands up to 25× its original volume, filling hairline cracks, cold joints, and soil voids. Once cured, it forms a watertight, load-bearing barrier tested under ASTM D5295 and ACI 546R guidelines for structural waterproofing.
Every injection is digitally logged for pressure, volume, and duration, ensuring full traceability and compliance with New York City Department of Buildings standards. No excavation.
No Downtime. Just Proven Waterproofing and Soil Stabilization That Lasts Decades, Backed by Zavza Seal’s Long-Term Performance Warranty.
Types of Chemical Grouts and Their Applications
Not all leaks or structures behave the same. That’s why Zavza Seal matches every job with the right grout chemistry for your site conditions, water pressure, and structural needs.
Polyurethane Grout Injection: Flexible Waterproofing for Active Leaks
With polyurethane grout injection, also known as polyjacking, hydrophilic and hydrophobic polyurethane resins are injected under controlled pressure to stop even live leaks. On contact with water, the resin reacts → expands → seals, forming an elastic, watertight foam that moves with the structure through freeze–thaw and vibration cycles.
Best for: basements, elevator pits, retaining walls, and cold joints.
| Performance Parameter | Typical Range / Result | Verification Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Injection Pressure | 500 – 1500 psi | ASTM D5295 |
| Expansion Ratio | 10× – 25× liquid volume | ASTM D5793 |
| Gel Time | 10 – 60 s (temperature-dependent) | ASTM D5793 |
| Elastic Modulus | 200 – 600 psi | Manufacturer Data |
| Service Life | 20 + years (sealed, non-UV exposure) | ACI 515.1R |
Acrylate & Silicate Grouts: Deep Soil and Void Stabilization
Acrylate and sodium-silicate systems feature ultra-low viscosity (1-5 cP), letting them migrate through fine sandy soils and micro-cracks typical of Long Island foundations. They polymerize into a flexible gel matrix that bonds soil grains and blocks groundwater movement.
Best for: tunnel linings, manholes, foundations, and coastal properties built on sandy soils.
| Performance Parameter | Typical Range / Result | Verification Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Viscosity | 1 – 5 cP (≈ water) | ASTM D2196 |
| Penetration Depth | Up to 18 in in 3000 psi concrete | ACI 515.1R |
| Set Time | 20 – 90 s | ASTM C881 method adapts. |
| Permeability Reduction | > 90% in treated zone | ASTM D5084 |
| Shear Strength Gain | +30 – 50% over native soil | Field testing data |
Epoxy Grout Injection: High-Strength Structural Bonding
When cracks compromise load paths, epoxy grout injection restores monolithic strength. They deliver bond strengths exceeding 2,500 psi and compressive strength above 10,000 psi, making them ideal for structural rehabilitation.
Best for: bridge decks, machine pads, beams, and structural columns.
| Performance Parameter | Typical Range / Result | Verification Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Compressive Strength | > 10,000 psi | ASTM C881 / C579 |
| Bond Strength to Concrete | ≥ 2,500 psi | ASTM C882 |
| Modulus of Elasticity | 0.8 – 1.2 × 10⁶ psi | ACI 546R |
| Chemical Resistance | Excellent – acids, chlorides | ASTM C267 |
| Curing Time | 6 – 24 h @ 70 °F | Manufacturer Data |
Common Applications Across New York
Water behaves differently in every borough, and so do the structures that fight it. Across Long Island’s sandy subsoils, Brooklyn’s brownstones, and Queens’ commercial basements, Zavza Seal tailors every grout injection to the site’s geology and groundwater behavior.
- Basement and Foundation Waterproofing (Brooklyn & Queens): Stop active leaks at cold joints and helical tiebacks in high-density residential structures where hydrostatic pressure exceeds 1.5 psi/ft of water column.
- Subway, Tunnel, and Utility Infrastructure (Manhattan & Bronx): Acrylate and silicate grouts penetrate fine cracks, sealing joints and preventing infiltration that accelerates corrosion and service disruptions.
- Coastal & Flood-Prone Properties (Long Island South Shore): In regions where seasonal groundwater peaks reach 3-6 ft below grade, low-viscosity polyurethane grouts expand within the soil matrix, reducing hydrostatic uplift pressure and stabilizing foundations.
- Municipal Stormwater Systems & Manholes (NYC Metro): Structural sealing of infiltration points verified under ASTM D5957 flood test protocols.
Environmental Reasoning:
Because high water tables increase hydrostatic pressure, conventional patching fails. Therefore, Zavza Seal deploys low-viscosity grouts that migrate deep into concrete micro-capillaries, forming impermeable barriers that move with the structure, not against it.
Result: A waterproofing system that adapts to New York’s unique soil, groundwater, and weather conditions, and holds its integrity through every storm.
Our Proven Process Workflow
Every project follows Zavza Seal’s controlled injection protocol, built around ASTM and ACI best practices. Each step is documented, logged, and verifiable.
- Site Assessment & Leak Detection: Our technicians trace moisture intrusion to its true source using infrared imaging, hydrostatic mapping, and dye testing, identifying whether leaks originate from cracks, joints, or capillary absorption.
- Surface Preparation (ASTM D4262 / D4263): We clean and profile the surface to expose sound concrete and ensure optimal bond. pH and moisture levels are tested for compliance with ASTM standards before injection begins.
- Injection Stage – Precision Under Pressure: Using dual-component pumps, grouts are injected between 500 and 1500 psi with continuous pressure control logging. Material expansion, gel time, and temperature are monitored in real time to ensure complete substrate penetration.
- Verification & Quality Control (ASTM D5957 Flood Test): Once cured, the treated area undergoes a 24-hour hydrostatic test simulating flood conditions. Any residual moisture pathways are re-injected until zero seepage is achieved.
- Documentation & Warranty Registration: Each project includes a digital injection log, test summary, and warranty certificate, archived under Zavza Seal’s internal QA system for full traceability.
