| Damp penetration can cause major deterioration of the building fabric, growth of wood rotting fungi and reduced durability of basements. To overcome these defects, a number of remedial treatments are available including:
Tanking Membranes
Internally applied cementitious render and sheet membrane systems, designed to prevent water penetration into a below ground structure.
Joint and Crack Sealing
Where structural movement is unavoidable, flexible polyurethane injection or hyperlon strip membranes can be installed. These allow dynamic movement of the structure without compromising the integrity of the waterproofing system.
Waterproof Deck Membranes
De-icing salts cause chloride attack, which accelerates the breakdown of concrete surfaces. Decorative and elastometric waterproof membranes provide crack bridging and antiskid properties whilst providing protection against contamination.
