Effective water control and diversion are essential for extending the lifecycle of concrete and brick substrates on any job site. The videos below show a variety of drainage systems, water barriers and sealing compounds that provide superior water protection based on job-specific needs, requirements and the local weather environment.
Depending on the job site requirements, most of the sealing compounds demonstrated in the following videos can be applied with a roller or spray rig. Some options utilize a singular compound, while others use a compound combined with a layer of reinforced mesh or dimple sheets to provide superior drainage and protection against water penetration.
This video is unavailable. I did a search and found several different products, including mastics, dimpled sheeting and drains.
Designed for use on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, Hydralastic 836 is ideal for slabs and foundations that require a positive-side waterproofing solution. This product is Low VOC rated and can be easily applied with a brush or roller. Available in five-gallon pails for easy transport and handling.
This six-minute video explains how the Polycast system components connect and are made using a combination of concrete, polymer and sand for superior strength and durability. It also covers installing a Polycast drain into an existing concrete slab from the initial trenching to the finished project.
This single-component, water-based solution is ideal for concrete and brick substrates found on new and remedial waterproofing projects. It can be easily applied to vertical and horizontal surfaces with a brush, roller or sprayer.
The Perminator under-slab vapor barrier utilizes the latest polyolefin-based resin chemical technology to prevent moisture and radon gas from penetrating upward through the slab. Available in 10 and 15-mil thicknesses, this vapor barrier provides an economical solution against fungus, mildew and mold growth.
Mel-Dek laminates a shrink-resistant polypropylene woven fabric to a polymeric waterproofing membrane, making it ideal for bridges, parking structures and vehicular traffic areas with asphalt overlays. Once in place, pressure-applied rolling at the rubberized asphalt edges forms a membrane-to-membrane weld.
Available in two formulations, Xypex Concentrate is specifically designed for one-coat applications, and Xypex Modified is designed for projects requiring a two-coat application. After mixing, the coating can be applied using a brush, roller or sprayer.
When mixed with Xypex Concentrate according to the manufacturer’s instructions, Patch’n Plug can be used to repair any faulty joints, cracks, spalling, tie-holes or honeycombing in the concrete before applying the waterproof coating.
