🔘Below Grade Waterproofing
Below grade, waterproofing is the practice of applying coatings and membranes to the foundation walls of a building below ground level. If you have a basement or belowground deck, you should consider below-grade waterproofing. As you may already know, basements are highly vulnerable to moisture and/or flooding.
☑️Types of Below Grade Waterproofing:
🔷Positive side waterproofing-
🔸Applied to the exterior of all buildings, and requires access to the outside of buildings, if possible. Positive side waterproofing is preferable, as any defects in
the waterproofing membrane is easier to catch than the alternative waterproofing methods below.
🔷Negative side waterproofing-
🔸Applied to the inner surfaces of buildings when positive side waterproofing is not possible. Negative side waterproofing is not always the best solution, as the structure where the application is being applied may move or crack over time.
🔷 Blind side waterproofing-
🔸Applied to the underside of structural slabs and only occurs when there are property line issues or limitations as to where the coating can be applied.
🔷Hot Rubber Membrane-
🔸The hot rubber membrane process eliminates seams, which reduces the risk of leaks on roofs or decks and also provides a more aesthetically pleasing look to a surface. Hot rubberized membranes are designed to provide effective waterproofing for large surfaces.
