Cementitious waterproofing products are a chemical treatment for the waterproofing, protection and repair of concrete or masonry structures.

Cementitious waterproofing products may be used to stop active leaks, without requiring a dry surface. Generally, this application consists of cutting in and preparing a reglet at the bottom of the wall and at all cold joints, membrane installation into the reglet, as well as a slurry coat over the entire wall surface. Cementitious applications can be applied to new or existing buildings, to the negative side of concrete or masonry structures. These produce a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete and cement based materials. Most products are non-toxic, potable water approved.

Cementitious waterproofing can be applied on horizontal and vertical structures including water treatment plants, underground vaults, secondary container structures, foundation, tunnels, elevator pits, pool sand water cisterns.

Cold fluid applied waterproofing products are monolithic, seamless and fully adhered membranes.

These products can be either single component, plural component or two coat reinforced or non-reinforced membranes. Cold fluid applied membranes can be applied by spray, roller, squeegee or trowel, depending upon the individual product and project requirements. Cold fluid applied waterproofing products are typically applied at a 60 mil or 90 mil thickness. Most membranes may be applied directly to green concrete, significantly reducing schedule delays related to concrete cure times.

Cold fluid applied waterproofing can be applied on horizontal or vertical structures including roof decks, plaza decks, parking garages, split slab applications, foundation walls, tunnels, and planters.

Most horizontal cold fluid applied waterproofing systems are dammed and flooded with water to insure the integrity of the installation.

There are different injections available for concrete crack repairs, depending on the individual need. Epoxy injections are a rigid material that chemically bonds to concrete providing a structural repair. Hydrophobic polyurethane injection resin is an elastomeric material designed to seal leaking cracks and voids in concrete. Crack injections may be done from the inside which in turn, eliminates excavation costs.

Epoxy Injections:

Available in different viscosities to accommodate a wide range of crack sizes.

• Can structurally repair non-moving concrete cracks.
• Two-component, fast reacting formulation.
• Fast set epoxy paste is used to set injection ports.

Polyurethane Injections:

• Elastomeric properties provide a flexible seal for moving joints.
• Water activated material expands to fill voids.
• Fast reacting

Dampproofing products are seamless foundation coatings, designed for moisture protection of below grade concrete or masonry foundations. These products are used on walls where non-occupied space exists on the opposite side of the wall, including site walls, stem walls and masonry walls. Dampproofing may be applied by spray, roller or brush. Dampproofing products are typically applied at 10 mil, 20 mil or 30 mil thickness. Most membranes may be applied directly to green concrete.

 Dampproofing products may be applied on vertical surfaces including, but not limited to, the following:

• Concrete below grade walls
• CMU below grade walls

• Retaining walls

Drainage composites are used in conjunction with waterproofing membranes to provide protection and drainage on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. They consist of a three-dimensional, crush-proof drainage core with multiple options for woven, non-woven, and needle punched filter fabric on one or both sides of the drainage core. The fabric allows water to filter through while keeping the soil out. Drainage composites reduce hydrostatic pressure and promote positive drainage. Drainage composites are available in various sizes, profiles, compressive strengths and fabric options to meet each projects’ individual needs.

 Drainage composites may be applied on horizontal or vertical structures including, but not limited to, the following:

• Roof decks
