HoleMole.
Core-hole filling.
From above.

Meet HoleMole: the collapsible steel former that supports concrete core-hole repairs from the working level above the slab.

Lower the Mole, secure the stand and place your specified repair material. Reduce the need to board up the opening from the floor below.

For contractors, M&E teams and building maintenance projects.

A different way to make good

Support the repair.
Stay on the working level.

HoleMole creates a base beneath a concrete core hole. Its perimeter flaps fold to pass through the opening, then open beneath the slab. Pulling the rod upwards brings the former into position.

The floor-slab method

Three stages. One working level.

A practical overview. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, site specification and repair-material requirements for the complete installation.

  1. Contractor preparing a core-hole repair with HoleMole components
    01

    Prepare & position

    Measure and prepare the opening. Attach the threaded rod, pass the correctly sized Mole through the core and draw it back against the underside.

  2. Contractor securing the HoleMole stand above a concrete core hole
    02

    Secure from above

    Position the stand, guide the rod into its slot and secure it with the SpeedNut. Include reinforcement where the project specification requires it.

  3. Repair material being poured through a HoleMole Speed Chute into a floor opening

    Fill & finish

    Fit the Speed Chute, place the specified fill and finish the surface. Once the required set is reached, remove the tools and finish the rod as instructed.

Speak to DuctSeal
What is HoleMole used for?

HoleMole supports the filling of concrete core holes. A collapsible steel former passes through the opening and is drawn back against the underside, where it supports the selected repair material.

Which Mole size do I need?

Measure the actual clear opening and compare it with the manufacturer’s opening range. Check seating and overlap, particularly at size boundaries. Share your measurements with us if you need help selecting a former.

Can HoleMole be used in walls?

Suitable vertical openings use the dedicated Wall Applicator and the manufacturer’s wall-installation method. Sizes #2–#5 have bendable positioning tabs. Confirm the substrate, fixings and repair material for the application.

Which parts stay in the repair?

The Mole and its rod are consumable parts of the repair. The stand, SpeedNut and chute are removed after the specified set, then cleaned and inspected for reuse.

Is repair grout included?

No. Specify the repair grout, mortar or other compatible filling material separately to suit the concrete, opening and required project performance.

Does HoleMole provide a fire-rated or watertight seal?

HoleMole is a forming and support component. It does not by itself establish fire resistance, structural capacity, gas tightness or water resistance. The completed repair must meet the relevant project specification using a suitable complete system.
