Concrete Injection Made Easy

From this 24th podcast episode you will find out that the greatest danger to our industry is not our direct competitor, but ignorance. If we are to think about improving the situation of each of the participants in this market, then we should all work to increase the awareness of our clients and prospects.Charlie puts it straight, the best customer is an educated customer. Ask yourself if your client has been well prepared for the planned activities on its construction site?What does the ITTT acronym mean? If This, Than That.Our today's guest is Charlie Lerman tells you what you can do to become a recognizable personality in the world of concrete repair.https://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/injection-grouting-marketing-and-a-geek

This podcast episode will explain the wider applicability of fundamental injection rules around.When I was learning injection, nothing helped me much as this broad view of the issue.I'm going to construction and what's next?Target injection location is my answer to a lot of questions.And it allows you to put together a puzzle of technology.Nothing else helped me as much as this table.https://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/range-of-all-injection-applicationsNo other classification explains so many things in one fell swoop.Do you want to get into the injection topic and understand the main principles?This episode is for you.

#022 of the Concrete Injection Made Easy podcastMaking money in the concrete injection repair industry is far more than just drilling holes and injecting resin. There's a lot you can do to make your business more like an automated money-spinning machine like Amazon, Facebook, or Google.Does your company look like these giants? And what about your business model? So don't be surprised by the lower earnings!Today we're starting a series of 5 episodes about 5 Commandments.These 5 are as follows:1. The commandment of need. Businesses satisfy the needs of people. Don't chase money. Rather, look at how your business will help other people2.  The commandment of entry.  As entry barriers to a business fall, or lessen, the effectiveness of that road declines while competition in that field subsequently strengthens. To overcome weak entry, you need exceptionalism3. The commandment of control.  Run an organization that you control or you will be at the mercy of someone else4. The commandment of scale. Increase scale and magnitude in your business5. The commandment of time. Your business should detach you from your timehttps://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/the-commandment-of-need-in-the-concrete-injection-industry-based-on-the-millionaire-fastlane-by-m-j-demarco

#021 Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast.Today is a day with a lot of news. Note, I am giving away knowledge, just download it to automate your activity in the concrete repair industry.This episode is entirely about how to preparation of crack injection in concrete.https://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/concrete-injection-drilling-calculatorI am talking about an e-book that I recently finished. The book titled 6 core principles for effective crack injection discusses the most important issues of preparation for injection, increasing the chances of correct and effective filling of the crack using pressure injection technology.In order for the book to live and adapt to the situation on your construction site, the book comes with a spreadsheet calculating the distance from the crack at which to start drilling at a given angle to cut the crack in half the thickness of the repaired concrete.Additionally, you will calculate the length of the drill bit needed for this as well as the distance between holes drilled at the same side of the crack. In my opinion, in the offline industry like injection services only using such automation as calculators allows you to accelerate key technological decisions, avoiding wasted time and simple mistakes.All this will prove to be successful once and for all. And without returns and complaints, you will develop your business.Both my book and the spreadsheet that works with it provide faster work, automation and reduce the risk of making mistakes when preparing a crack for injection.And all this is told in the latest episode of the podcast.https://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/concrete-injection-drilling-calculatorSo today you get 3 in 1.A book, a spreadsheet, and a podcast episode that tells it all.I invite you to listen to this conversation and download a tool that will speed up your work.Remember that we drill depending on the thickness of the concrete, and this is basically the only information you give to the calculator for the calculation.Have fun.Mateusz Furs

This is the 20th episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy.You are just about to listen to the 20th episode of the Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast.Today's topic seems interesting to me, and it relates to collecting information before making a proper repair.In almost all of the previous episodes, we talked about the crucial need to understand the problem. The injection test field serves this purpose.And as it will turn out, it is a great way to prove that pressure injection can be a great solution to many problems on the construction site. All you have to do is do everything carefully.I invite you to listen to an interview with Stephan Delarue from Webac, who bye the way was our guest on the 3rd episode. I do encourage you to listen to the previous episode with Stephan as well.https://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/advantages-of-an-injection-test-field-with-stephan-delarue

#019 The owner of such a company works a lot, of course. Travels a lot, probably. But he can't be everywhere at once. This means that finding the right associates, controlling the quality of the tasks performed, building a network of contacts, and acquiring customers become a project, not just a single task.In fact, each of these is a separate project that must be supervised, consulted, asked the right questions and motivated people to look for the best answers.So if you are an entrepreneur struggling with a handful of employees, you have problems with maintaining the quality and repeatability of your services, you are thinking about hiring subcontractors but you are afraid that you will not maintain the quality (as I am at the moment), this conversation is simply for you.https://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/how-to-run-a-construction-company-with-jens-boegershausen

Let me ask you a question. Do you want to earn more, have more time, develop your business, sleep well without thinking that there may be leakages somewhere caused by your mistakes?This episode reminds me of how I was improving my knowledge and saving the company from collapse. As I have told you several times, I was doing so well that I started thinking about development. Unfortunately, I didn't think it over. New departments did not go as I planned.http://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/these-7-questions-and-answers-will-increase-the-effectiveness-of-remedial-injectionFrom this episode, you will learn what questions to ask to collect information that will help you make good decisions. Most probably these questions (and answers) will save your business like mine.  

#015 How to seal the dilatation of the tank without entering it?Where is a need, there is a solution.And as we can see, the injection can be carried out even in the difficult conditions of the lack of regular supplies, and high temperature and humidity by a small group of trained people. This conversation proves once again, that persistence is one of the most important qualities needed in our industry.http://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/015-how-to-seal-the-dilatation-of-the-tank-without-entering-itI wonder how you deal with similar challenges?Have you done an interesting repair and would you like to tell about it to a wider audience?Maybe you have sealed a dam or a tunnel somewhere?Share your experience and make this knowledge to go further into the world.Thank you again, Frank, for this conversation, photos, and street sounds of your city that we're listening to right now.As you may have realized, they accompanied us during this podcast.Another episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy is in two weeks.Make sure you hit subscribe if you haven't already, and I hope you will tune in next time. 

#014 episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast.And since it's a concrete injection podcast, I have a question: what do we use most often on our job sites to inject into the cracks?Today's episode is my solo show explaining how to choose the right resin to inject the crack.We'll look at the main similarities and key differences and which are used when. I'll give you an insider's take on my experience using both.http://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/epoxy-vs-polyurethane-crack-injection-how-to-chooseMake sure you stay till the end (this episode is shorter than usual so it's easier :) ) so you get the details. I also mention the best injection pump nad packer type to use both solutions.If you ever wanted to take full advantage of using epoxy resin, this episode is just for you. 

#013 The main message of the whole episode is the need to plan for the future in a positive way. There is and there will be different kinds of crises. So we need to be flexible and prepared for that. One thing we know for sure is that there will be future crises. All our guests say remedial services will be needed, some say the future is here. All of them also say their product will be improved, focus on constant improvement and enhancement. All highlight the need to stay close to clients, gain insight into client needs.

#009 of Concrete Injection Made Easy Podcast. One complaint I often hear from clients who have ordered concrete leak sealing procedures in which an acrylic gel was used is that under some conditions, the expansion joint leaks again. This problem happens typically because of dry weather, which causes acrylic gels dry out and shrink. And when acrylic gels dry, they lose their elasticity, and ability to adhere to concrete walls. And that's why water starts leaking. From the #009 episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast you will find out:What are the best areas of application of injection rubber any why?What are the main properties of an injection rubber?When can acrylic gel be used, and when should it rather be used injection rubber?Injection rubber shrinks to its original volume, but not less. What's in it for me?How to apply an injection rubber?Expansion joint sealing relies on swelling rather than adhesion to concrete. Important especially after several swelling/deswelling cycles.How to use re-injected injection hoses and why we have discussed it?What made me choose an injection rubber in one of my latest projects in Wrocław?Concrete Injection Made Easy giveaways:One is a 5 percent discount on HydroBloc 570 injection rubber.The second one is a 30-minute remote consultation by phone or Skype with Mateusz or Michaela.

In today's episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy, I discuss sealing expansion joints with my guest Dennis Wagner, Product Manager of Injection Products at Normet. We explore a common problem on the job site, which is typically caused by mistakes with installing water stops, namely leaking expansion joints.When it comes to injecting resin to fix leaking expansion joints, there are three options: one, injecting into the structure. Two, injecting between the structures, meaning into the expansion joint itself. And three—injecting outside the structure. When to use which is of key consideration whenever setting out to repair a leak.Episode notes and details available at http://inblock.com.pl/en/podcast/004Today's episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy gives you key tips and tricks to help you choose the right method for sealing a leaking expansion joint.Make sure you hit subscribe if you haven't already and sit back listening.
