Damp Proofing
Protection against moisture migrating through below-grade concrete — for the general dampness, efflorescence and musty spaces that a single crack repair will not solve.
06 · Protection- Damp foundation walls with no defined crack
- Efflorescence and mineral staining
- Musty crawlspaces and basements
- Moisture through porous or honeycombed concrete
- Below-grade rooms being finished or converted
Slowing moisture through the concrete itself.
Cementitious or bituminous coatings that reduce moisture vapour through the wall on the accessible face.
Penetrate the concrete and grow crystals in the pores, blocking water paths within the wall.
Where exposure allows, sheet or liquid membranes — paired with a look at grading and drainage feeding the wall.
- 01Moisture assessment
Readings across the wall, source review and confirming there is no defined crack better served by injection.
- 02Prepare the surface
Cleaning, removal of loose material and repair of voids so the treatment bonds.
- 03Apply the system
Coating or crystalline treatment built to the specified coverage.
- 04Review exposure
Drainage, grading and ventilation conditions that would otherwise reload the wall.
Foundation walls, crawlspaces, below-grade assemblies, retaining walls.
We look at where water shows, the crack pattern, the surrounding construction and moisture readings, then trace the likely pathway back to its source before deciding on a repair.
No. Some cracks are better addressed by surface repair, coatings or membranes, and some indicate a condition that needs a different approach. Injection is one tool, chosen when it fits.
Start with the concrete.
Fix it properly.
Tell us what you’re seeing and where. We’ll assess the condition on site and recommend the system that fits — or tell you if a different approach is the right one.
