About Emecole, Inc.
Emecole, Inc. was founded by Louis F. Cole in 1987. Lou's variety of epoxies and polyurethane foams gave basement waterproofing contractors throughout the United States and Canada a new cost effective opportunity to repair foundation cracks with low-pressure injection. After 23 years, Emecole's product line has grown to provide contractors the products and technical support necessary to waterproof basements and improve a home's indoor air quality.
Do-It-Yourself Concrete Crack Repair Kits
Our D-I-Y concrete crack repair kits gives homeowners an efficient and economical way to sufficientlyrepair concrete cracks in basement and crawl space poured foundations, as well as slabs. Our fully equipped D-I-Y repair kits include the necessary components to effectively and efficiently repair concrete cracks. All kits are assembled and packaged from our Romeoville, IL location. Available in several varieties, Emecole's D-I-Y repair kits accommodate various cracks in basement walls and floors, as well as concrete patios, pool decks and garage floors.
According to Lou, many homeowners and handymen have called in about their attempts to repair basement cracks using hydraulic cement or caulk. "A do-it-yourself generally will tend to a problem first before calling a professional," he said. "While foundation crack repair certainly can be a D-I-Y project, most of them are using products that do not work."
The advantage of polyurethane foam is that it hardens upon injection and seals the crack in the foundation from leaking in the future. Not only are cracks repaired by urethane foam or epoxy injection permanent, but they can increase the value of a home.
Every Emecole D-I-Y repair kit includes printed instructions, MSDS’s, and a step-by-step instructional CD-Rom video. Instructional videos may also be viewed from this site by visiting our Videos & Resources section.
"Use of Emecole’s repair kits and complete line of waterproofing products allow for a low-investment with a high return, potentially saving a homeowner hundreds or thousands of dollars," says Lou.
Emecole's concrete crack repair kits allow homeowners to avoid all last minute trips to the hardware store, while saving time and money.
