Below Ground Waterproofing
RETAINING WALLS – BASEMENTS- FOUNDATIONS
Waterproof correctly the first time – the costs to rectify are too high.
Waterproofing is an area of construction that if it fails,it is very difficult and expensive to fix.
This is especially so with below ground tanking - it is imperative to get it right the first time.
Below ground tanking, retaining walls, foundations and basements require best practice waterproofing techniques as the consequences of membrane failure are huge.
Liquid Applied Membranes (LAM) provide a wide range of below ground waterproofing & membrane tanking that are cost effective and engineered for durability and reliability.
- Using the latest technology in spray-applied liquid waterproofing membranes means your project takes less than one-third the time than using traditional rolled membrane.
- Cold spray-applied systems are fast – very fast.
- No waiting for concrete to cure.
- No priming required and backfilling can commence as soon as the product is dry
Successful below ground tanking is a combination of several factors:
- Selection of quality products that will LAST
- Detailed Preparation of surfaces: -retaining wall, blockwork, brick work - prior to application.
- Careful membrane application so waterproof coating so the membranes covers and extends to the slab & footings.

RETAINING WALL WATERPROOFING METHOD
Liquid Rubber Waterproofing System is our method of choice for retaining walls, foundations and below ground waterproofing
- Extreme membrane flexibility so will move with the building envelope.
- Being liquid, Liquid Rubber coatings will fill concrete cracks while allowing for structural movement.
- Does not involve heat/fumes or flame.
- Are eco-friendly products and completely free of VOC’s
- Satisfies all OHS safety issues.
- Is delivered using stable, non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable components which do not present a storage or transport hazard prior to, during or following application.

VIDEO - How to Waterproof a Concrete Slab
A simple concrete slab that required a quick waterproof membrane to seal from water ingress below.
However the principles applied to waterproof this small project remains the same for commercial construction.
Larger waterproofing projects are spray applied with a dedicated rig.
Are you still using out dated waterproofing systems using heat and torches or with seams and joins which are areas of weakness?
