FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Making a surface or structure impervious to water intrusion is known as waterproofing. Preventing water damage during construction is essential since it can result in structural problems, the growth of mold, and other issues. Various waterproofing techniques are used based on the surface, the area, and the particular needs.

  1. Liquid Waterproofing Membrane
  2. Sheet Membrane Waterproofing
  3. Cementitious Waterproofing
  4. Crystalline Waterproofing
  5. Bituminous Coating
  6. Waterproofing Admixtures
  7. Water Repellents
  8. Polyurethane Liquid Membrane
  • These membranes are typically made from polymer-modified asphalt, acrylic, polyurethane, or rubber-based compounds.
  • They can be applied to various surfaces such as concrete, wood, metal, and even roofing materials.
  • Liquid membranes are popular for their seamless application, allowing for easy coverage of complex surfaces and detailing.
  • They offer excellent flexibility, which is beneficial in areas prone to structural movement.
  • Sheet membranes come in rolls or sheets and are made from materials like bitumen, PVC, EPDM, or TPO.
  • They are commonly used in below-grade waterproofing applications such as basements, foundation walls, and tunnels.
  • Sheet membranes provide a durable barrier against water penetration and are resistant to punctures and tearing.
  • Installation typically involves adhering the membrane to the substrate using adhesives or heat welding the seams to create a watertight seal.
  • Cementitious waterproofing materials consist of a blend of cement, sand, and proprietary additives.
  • They are applied as a slurry directly to concrete surfaces to create a waterproof barrier.
  • Cementitious waterproofing is often used in applications where a durable, cost-effective solution is needed, such as retaining walls, water tanks, and balconies.
  • Proper surface preparation and application technique are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and longevity of cementitious waterproofing systems.
  • Crystalline waterproofing products contain chemicals that react with moisture and free lime in concrete to form insoluble crystals within the concrete pores.
  • These crystals block water penetration and effectively waterproof the concrete.
  • Crystalline waterproofing can be applied as a coating, admixture, or dry-shake application, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
  • It is often used in below-grade applications such as basements, tunnels, and sewage treatment plants.
  • Bituminous coatings are asphalt-based compounds that provide a protective waterproofing layer when applied to surfaces.
  • They are commonly used for waterproofing below-grade structures, such as foundations, retaining walls, and bridge abutments.
  • Bituminous coatings offer excellent adhesion to various substrates and are resistant to UV degradation.
  • They can be applied by brush, roller, or spray equipment, depending on the project requirements.
  • Waterproofing admixtures are added to concrete during mixing to improve its resistance to water penetration.
  • These admixtures work by reducing the porosity of concrete and blocking capillaries, resulting in a more waterproof structure.
  • Waterproofing admixtures are commonly used in applications such as basements, swimming pools, and water tanks.
  • They can improve the durability and longevity of concrete structures by reducing the risk of cracking and deterioration due to water ingress.
  • Water repellents are typically silicone-based or silane/siloxane-based coatings that penetrate into the surface of masonry materials such as brick, concrete, and stone.
  • They create a hydrophobic barrier that repels water while allowing vapor to escape, preventing moisture-related issues such as efflorescence and spalling.
  • Water repellents are often used to protect exterior walls, facades, and historic buildings from water damage without altering the appearance of the substrate.
  • Polyurethane liquid membranes are elastomeric coatings that cure to form a seamless, flexible membrane.
  • They are highly resistant to water, chemicals, and UV exposure, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
  • Polyurethane liquid membranes can be applied to horizontal and vertical surfaces, including roofs, decks, and balconies.
  • They provide excellent adhesion to various substrates and can accommodate substrate movement without compromising the waterproofing integrity.
