Pipe Penetrations

Total Specialist Maintenance (TSM) specialises in sealing pipe penetrations in basements, lift shafts, communication rooms, car parks, balconies, plant rooms, reservoirs, manholes, and other below-ground structures. Our expertise ensures that your structures remain dry and safe from water ingress.

Common Issues with Pipe Penetrations

Water leaks around pipe penetrations – such as gas, water, sewage, and electrical lines – are a significant concern where pipes enter and exit through concrete walls or slabs.

The main causes of concrete structure degradation

Cement-Based Seals -

Many leaks occur because pipe penetrations are sealed with cement-based water plugs or patches applied during initial construction. Over time, the bond to the concrete can fail, allowing water to seep around the pipe.

Inadequate Sealing -

If the seal does not fully cover the annulus between the pipe and the concrete, water can infiltrate voids and cracks, leading to leaks that compromise structural integrity.

Coring Damage -

The coring process used to create holes for pipes can damage the concrete, resulting in cracks or chips that create direct pathways for water to penetrate the structure.

If left untreated, leaking pipe penetrations can lead to significant deterioration of the concrete and reduce the service life of the structure.

Injection Systems To Stop Water Ingress Around Pipe Penetrations

At TSM, we effectively repair pipe penetration leaks using advanced polyurethane and elastomer gel injection systems. Our skilled technicians inject resin into the annulus between the service penetration and the concrete.

The hydrophobic reaction causes the resin to expand into foam, migrating through the concrete and filling any cracks and voids in the treated area. This process creates a strong bond between the concrete and the service penetration, forming a watertight seal that protects the concrete structure and extends the building’s service life.
