Cementitious Waterproofing
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.
