⁠Lift Pit Injection

  • Cost-Effective Services
  • Timely Delivery
  • Innovative Technology

At Aquaproof, we specialize in lift pit injection, a critical waterproofing and crack repair solution designed to protect elevator pits from water damage, structural deterioration, and corrosion. The lift pit, located at the lowest part of the elevator shaft, is particularly vulnerable to water seepage due to its underground placement. Ensuring its structural integrity is essential for the smooth and safe operation of elevators.

Key points about lift pit injection

  • Lift pits are prone to water seepage, especially if they are located below ground level. Injection methods are often used to seal cracks in the concrete or masonry, preventing water from entering the pit. This is particularly important to avoid damage to the elevator equipment, such as motors, cables, and control systems.
  • Concrete cracks in the lift pit are not uncommon over time. Lift pit injection involves injecting a specialized resin or grout into these cracks to fill them, strengthening the structure and improving its resistance to water and other environmental factors.
  • For sealing cracks or waterproofing, polyurethane or epoxy resins are typically used. These materials expand upon injection, filling gaps and creating a seal that stops water ingress.
  • Lift pit injection is also part of preventive maintenance, ensuring that the elevator's components remain protected from environmental damage that could lead to malfunction or corrosion.

Why Lift Pit Waterproofing is Essential

The lift pit houses key elevator components such as motors, cables, and control systems. If left exposed to moisture, water ingress, or environmental factors, these components can corrode or malfunction, leading to costly repairs and safety risks. Aquaproof’s specialized injection solutions effectively seal cracks, prevent leaks, and reinforce structural durability, ensuring long-term protection.
