Sika is the line we lean on when water has to be stopped or repaired concrete has to perform like new. Detroit Concrete installs Sika waterproofing membranes, crack injection systems, repair mortars and floor systems to the published Sika spec, primer, mid-coat and topcoat in the right sequence and chemistry. Every project starts with a free written estimate.
Most foundation and concrete failures come down to water finding a path it should not have. Sika waterproofing systems (Sikalastic and Sikagard) seal that path, with elastomeric membranes and coatings that flex with concrete movement instead of cracking off.
When a crack is already there, Sika crack injection (SikaFix HH polyurethane, SikaFlex sealants) fills the crack from inside, stopping leaks and stabilising the substrate at the same time.
We confirm whether the problem is water ingress, an active crack, structural repair or a finished floor, and pick the matching Sika product line for the substrate and chemistry involved.
Prep substrate and check moisture
The substrate is prepared to the profile and moisture content the Sika system requires, with cracks routed and cleaned where injection is the answer.
Apply the full Sika system
We install primer, body coat and topcoat in the published Sika sequence, at the temperature and lift thickness the spec calls for, with the right chemistry for the environment.
Cure and document warranty
Each layer cures to the manufacturer schedule, the install is documented for the product warranty, and you get the data sheets so any future work is compatible.
Where Sika earns its keep
Sika in Foundations, Basements and Repair
Most of our Sika work happens below grade. Sika waterproofing on foundation walls and below slabs is where the elastomeric chemistry pays back, sealing the path before water can take it.
Inside the building, Sika crack injection stops active leaks through walls and slabs without excavation, and Sika MonoTop repair mortars rebuild structural concrete to the original profile. Together they are why a Sika install holds, instead of becoming a repeat project the next spring.
Which Sika line for which job, injection, waterproofing and warranty in Detroit.
Often, yes. Sika crack injection with SikaFix HH polyurethane seals active cracks from inside the wall and stops the leak, without needing to excavate the outside of the foundation in most cases.
Sika waterproofing is a system applied to a whole wall or slab to keep water out. Crack injection is a targeted repair that seals a specific crack already letting water through.
Yes, the right one can. Sika MonoTop repair mortars rebuild spalled and structural concrete to original profile and strength, with the chemistry chosen to suit whether the repair is cosmetic or load-bearing.
Because elastomeric chemistry actually flexes with concrete movement. A rigid coating cracks where the substrate moves, and the leak comes back. Sika systems were developed to flex and seal, which is why they hold up below grade.
Yes. We install Sika products as a system, primer, body and topcoat in the published sequence and chemistry. That is what keeps the manufacturer warranty intact and what makes the install actually perform.
Client reviews
What Detroit Clients Say About Their Sika Installs
Sika crack injection stopped a leak we had chased with caulking for years. They sealed it from inside and the basement has been dry through two springs.

★★★★★
Full Sika waterproofing on a new foundation. Elastomeric so it can flex with the concrete and not crack off the way the old rigid coating did.
A. D.
Builder
★★★★★
SikaTop repair on a worn loading-dock area. Profile is exact, took our forklift traffic, and they handed over the data sheets for our records.
J. E.
Commercial property manager
★★★★★
They install Sika as a full system, not just a coat of the product they have on the truck. That difference shows up in how long the install holds.
