Below ground waterproofing is as important as your foundations supporting the entire structure.
Without the combination of sound footings and waterproof structures a building will deteriorate rapidly.
Below grade systems are often inaccessible for repairs and extremely costly if modifications or rectifications are necessary at a future date.
Positive-side waterproofing systems are post-applied to the surface of the substrate directly exposed to moisture, typically the exterior side of the foundation wall.

Below Ground Waterproofing – Design & Planning
Durability of design and materials is mandatory with below grade waterproofing systems.
Below ground waterproofing is one of those areas usually unseen and I am not sure if it is “out of sight, out of mind” mentality, however it is an area of construction often neglected.

Best Waterproofing Product
The traditional plastic barrier used for under slab protection is a moisture barrier and is NOT a waterproof membrane.
Liquid Applied Membranes are particularly suitable for gas vapour barriers for mitigating methane & VOC intrusion.
Waterproofing Membranes installed under concrete slabs must provide permanent vapour, gas, chemical & water protection.
Liquid Applied Waterproofing provides a seamless and flexible membrane that will also move with the concrete foundations.
This means there are no JOINS or SEAMS – which are often areas of potential weakness due to possibility of tears during construction & over time.
Spray apply Liquid Rubber Membranes cure to form a continuous seamless barrier providing waterproof protection horizontally, vertically up walls and around penetrations, pipes and upturns.
Liquid Membranes For Basement Waterproofing
Liquid Membranes cure to form a durable barrier providing permanent water protection.
Liquid Waterproofing Systems are engineered for below slab construction.
The Membrane bonds integrally to poured concrete for use below slabs or basement walls – both horizontally & vertically.
Remains unaffected by ground settlement beneath slabs.
