Understanding where waterproofing goes – and why crystalline technology works even on existing leaking basements.
Positive side waterproofing
Applied on the exterior face of basement walls to stop ground water before it reaches the structure – the recognised method for new construction.
Negative side waterproofing
For existing basements with seepage, crystalline waterproofing is applied from the inside. Because it penetrates the concrete and blocks pores beneath the surface, it does not depend on adhesion and will not peel off.
Drainage
Drainage systems draw water away from the foundation into drains or sumps and complement any waterproofing system.
