c Locate source of leakage in the concrete. d Rout out the leak in a U-shaped configuration to sound concrete, minimum 2” (50 mm) deep and 1” (25 mm) wide. Clean cavity and remove any excess water.
e Form a plug with AQUAFIN-PLUG-IC or AQUAFIN FIX 10-S and press this into the cavity, filling to approx. 1” depth. Hold this in place for about 30 - 60 seconds, until it has set. In case of a strong water flow, insert a drain (i.e. 3/8” - 1/2” clear plastic pipe) into the cavity immediately before inserting the PLUG-IC or FIX 10-S.
f When plug is fully hardened and leakage has stopped, remove any excess material and prime remaining cavity with one slurry coat of AQUAFIN-IC.
g While slurry is still moist (“green”) fill cavity flush to surface with AQUAFIN MORTAR-IC. Where a drain has been used, carefully remove drain soonest next day, or when mortar has reached at least 2/3 of its final strength, and plug the remaining hole as described above.
h When mortar has set, apply surface waterproofing (AQUAFIN-IC, AQUAFIN-1K or AQUAFIN-2K/M) over concrete surface.
