Trade Professional Information

• Required Tools: Trowel, mixing bucket, mixing paddle, gloves, safety glasses, chisel or hammer (for surface preparation).
• Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure the leak area is clean and free from loose particles. Chisel out any deteriorated concrete or masonry to create a key for the plugging material. Mix the plugging compound quickly according to the manufacturer's instructions, as it sets rapidly. Apply the material firmly into the leak, holding it in place until it sets. For high-pressure leaks, create a tapered plug to force the material into the opening.
• Common Issues and Solutions:
  • Issue: Material sets too quickly. Solution: Mix smaller batches and work rapidly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing ratios and working times.
  • Issue: Poor adhesion. Solution: Ensure proper surface preparation. Chisel out deteriorated areas and create a rough surface for better adhesion.
  • Issue: Leak not fully stopped. Solution: Apply additional plugging material to ensure a complete seal. For high-pressure leaks, use a tapered plug and apply firm pressure.
