Below Grade Concrete Waterproofing

Waterproofing below grade insulated concrete forms.

Below grade concrete waterproofing.

Mel rol lm all season is a single component polymer modified cold applied liquid waterproofing membrane ideal for below grade vertical seamless waterproofing applications. Once you successfully apply below grade waterproofing to your home or building you re going to need assessment on whether you ll need drainage. Above and below grade walls of a building or home can use insulated concrete forms icfs in their construction. Sump pumps are also a must if the area is completely flat.

Its extreme resistant to water can work even on below grade foundations basement walls and cisterns. Pre applied membranes such as the preprufe plus waterproofing system are often recommended for critical below grade spaces such as hospitals schools condominiums museums and retail spaces. Because of the hazards it s usually not a good idea for anyone to waterproof alone. Both above and below grade icf walls are durable sound reducing energy efficient and disaster resistant.

The concrete is then poured and creates a bond with the membrane as it cures. Your waterproofing team can analyze this for you to weigh the options. Apply it on the surface and you can see that it can remain elastic even in freezing temperatures. A damp proof coating can be applied directly to the surface of the concrete below grade walls.

Mel rol lm is a single component polymer modified cold applied water based liquid waterproofing membrane ideal for below grade horizontal and vertical seamless waterproofing applications. The membrane is placed prior to the concrete being poured. If you re using a water proofing subcontractor make sure workers follow a written safety program and comply with hazard communication requirements. Waterproofing below grade can be dangerous.

Below grade waterproofing solutions for even the most challenging requirements sika provides solutions for even the most challenging requirements with its unique waterproofing product portfolio contributing to efficient long lasting infrastructure be it for drinking water facilities fulfilling the most stringent drinking water approvals tunnels bridges basements or balconies. Protecting below grade walls from water entry involves installing a barrier to water and water vapor. State of the art waterproofing dampproofing and drainage systems applied to concrete masonry provide excellent protection from water penetration ensuring protection for building contents and comfort for occupants. French drains are often used as are under slab drainage systems.

Concrete products are porous and unless treated are not waterproof allowing water to migrate into the building. In addition to these consider drainage boards or footing drains. We have taken the same high quality rubber polymers found in meadows successful mel rol peel and stick membrane and converted them into a heavy bodied high solids quick drying liquid membrane.
