Hot Applied Waterproofing
If you're looking for a reliable way to waterproof the lower levels of your structure, hot applied waterproofing is an excellent option. It's popular because it creates a continuous, water-resistant layer that protects your structure. Here's how it works: materials like rubberized asphalt or modified bitumen are heated and melted, then layered to form a solid, waterproof surface. This method is especially good for larger projects where you want to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Cold Applied Waterproofing
Cold applied waterproofing is another method that gets high marks. It doesn't require any heating, making it a great choice for smaller projects or in situations where heat isn't easily accessible. This process involves using liquid coatings like acrylic or polyurethane. These materials are applied directly to the surface or on a reinforcing fabric. The beauty of this method is its flexibility. It can stretch and move to accommodate any shifts in your building's structure.
Sheet Applied Waterproofing
If you're dealing with a high water table or challenging soil conditions, consider sheet applied waterproofing. This method uses pre-manufactured sheets (made from rubber, bitumen, or thermoplastics) that we install over the surface to create a waterproof barrier. These sheets can either stick to the surface on their own or be applied with an adhesive. This technique is particularly effective in preventing water seepage, making it a solid choice for larger, more complex projects.
Each waterproofing method has its advantages, and the best one for you will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. If you have questions or need help deciding, we're here to help.
