Publication date: 09/22/2009  Click here for a printer-friendly version Look to Mr. Sponge for Urethane injections to repair basement wall leaks Dear Glenn: I've got a basement wall crack that leaks, and I need to make a good repair. Through the Internet, I have read about polyurethane and epoxy time-injection methods. I'd like to choose the right product from the right company for a do-it-yourself repair. Can you help? Mike, via e-mail Dear Mike: Mr. Sponge, (800) 491-4686, www.mrsponge.com, has been around since 1967 and they use a proprietary injection method using SP-3 Proprietary Urethane. It is a two-step process that stops the leak instantly. It is injected into the wall using an average pressure of 1,200 pounds per square inch. It is my belief that you cannot accomplish the same results by doing the job using a Jake Gun that only produces 90 PSI. Note: This article was accurate at the date of publication.
