Foundation Waterproofing

Leaking foundations can endanger the entire structure of a property. To help ensure that this never happens to you, we can supply all of the products that are required for your foundation waterproofing projects.

To stop water from entering a foundation, waterproofing needs to be seamless, stretch over cracks and withstand water under hydrostatic pressure caused by heavy rains. Spray applied polymer-modified asphalt exterior foundation waterproofing stops water on the outside, before it can get into a basement.

Every new foundation needs to be waterproofed. Spray application of seamless waterproofing on the exterior of a foundation turns the interior into a dry basement. Now the basement living area stays dry and free of water. Without foundation waterproofing, water can seep through a foundation wall or through a crack in the foundation.

For years foundations were only dampproofed, which only stops water vapor. Water under hydrostatic pressure can still push its way though a dampproofed foundation. Also, dampproofing is brittle and cannot bridge cracks in a foundation. Foundation waterproofing will stop this happening

There are 2 basic types of foundation waterproofing & we can help you with both. The first is known as -

External Tanking
This is also known as "positive side" waterproofing. We can supply you with self adhesive waterproof membranes, thick film and elastic liquid membranes, mineral sealing slurries, drainage and protection sheets and our high tech gel curtain system for external waterproofing from the inside.

Internal Tanking
This is also known as "negative side" waterproofing. We can supply you with the materials needed for high performance cementitious sealing slurries for damp and actively leaking surfaces, mineral waterplugs for instantly sealing in-rushes of water, rapid setting repair mortars.
