Building & Civil Engineering Structures - Waterproofing Problems & Solutions

Problem Solution


(1) Damp or leaking basements and underground structures need waterproofing to prevent damage to fixtures and fittings. The high cost of land encourages the use of below-ground structures which may often be below the water table.

Damp Basement
 


Both brick and concrete substrates can be waterproofed by the application of two 1mm coats of Cementitious Coating 851.

Active water infiltration under pressure can be quickly arrested using Fastfill WP.

Where pointing requires reinstating, or a fair-faced, waterproof render is required then Monolevel 844SP can be used in thicknesses up to 6mm per layer.


(2) Treatment of damp or freshly laid concrete floors without the risk of osmotic blistering when impervious finishes are subsequently applied.

Osmotic Blistering
 


Cemprotec E-Floor is applied to prepared concrete floors that have been primed with Cemprotec EF Primer. It is and spread to a minimum 2mm thickness and cured with silica sand. This has the dual benefit of providing a slip resistant finish where required, and assisting the adhesion of any coatings that may be subsequently applied. .

Only 48 hours curing is required before Impervious floor coatings and finishes can be laid.

Where a stand-alone system is required, the sanded surface can be sealed with Cemprotec Sandseal 760 to enhance longevity.
