A method of repairing cracks in a concrete structure to prevent leakage wherein rods are inserted in the crack at spaced intervals to extend outwardly therefrom. A surface seal is applied to extend partially into the crack near the structure outer surface from which the rods extend, and to the structure outer surface adjacent to the crack and around the rods so that the surface seal acts as a surface barrier for the filler to be injected. Port members, having hollow shaft portions, and a flange portion are placed over the rods with the flange portions approximately adjacent the structure outer surface. Substantially the entire flange portion is embedded in the surface seal. The surface seal is allowed to cure to define a surface barrier for the filler, and the rods are removed from the crack and port members such that the ports communicate with the crack cavity behind the surface seal. After the surface seal cures, a filler is injected through the port members and into the crack cavity, and the port members are plugged. A port and plug assembly for use in sealing the cracks has a hollow shaft portion and a flange portion at one end thereof. The flange defines the base of the port member and is generally flat with the shaft extending from only one side of the base, the base being adapted to be embedded in a surface seal in the crack sealing method.

A method of repairing cracks in structures, particularly of concrete, to prevent leakage and structural deterioration, comprising the steps of: inserting rods in the crack at spaced intervals therealong, said rods being inserted with one end bound within the crack to support the rod with a portion of the rod extending outwardly from the outer wall surface, the portion of the rod extending from said wall being of sufficient length to support a port member thereover; applying a surface seal so as to extend partially into the crack near the outer wall surface and to cover the wall surface adjacent the crack and around the rods, so that the surface seal defines a surface barrier for the filler to be injected; placing port members having hollow shaft portions and a flange portion over said rods with the flange portions near the wall surface and at least partially embedded in said surface seal; applying surface seal over said port member flanges and onto said previously applied surface seal to embed substantially the entire flange in said surface seal; allowing said surface seal to cure to define an outer wall surface barrier for the filler to be injected, and removing the rods from the crack and port members, the port members then defining ports communicating with the crack cavity behind the surface seal; after allowing said surface seal to cure, injecting filler into the port members to fill substantially the entire cavity of the crack behind the surface seal; and plugging said port member after injecting said filler.
