Structural waterproofing is a general term within the industry that covers methods and treatments to describe waterproofing any structure. Waterproofing or Structural Waterproofing is applicable to any construction under-ground or below ground level.

Waterproofing is required at concrete structures to keep moisture out of the facility and to protect the structural components of concrete and imbedded reinforcing steel. If the integrity of the concrete is maintained, it can remain waterproof.

Negative-side waterproofing is the application of a coating material to the interior or the ‘dry’ side of a foundation or wall. Its primary function is to create a barrier coat to stop water from leaking through the wall and keeping the space dry.

Negative-side waterproofing is the application of a coating material to the interior or the ‘dry’ side of a foundation or wall. Its primary function is to create a barrier coat to stop water from leaking through the wall and keeping the space dry.

The most common types of waterproofing are cementitious waterproofing, liquid waterproofing membrane, bituminous membrane, bituminous coating, bentonite membranes, MMA liquid membranes Polyurea liquid membranes, polyurethane liquid membrane and cavity drained systems.

The single biggest cause of waterproofing failure is workmanship. Poor workmanship would account for 90% of all failures in waterproofing. The waterproofing membrane is only as good as the surface on which it is applied or installed; however Total specialist maintenance also offer bespoke remedial solutions for failed structural waterproofing.

While it technically is possible to waterproof over existing waterproofing, it is not something we would recommend in most instances, however this could be reviewed on a project-by-project basis and is dependent on the project requirements Alternatively, we recommend you invest in remedial waterproofing such as that we offer at Total specialist maintenance. Typically, this would be injection solutions such as our elastomer gel injection system, movement joint waterproofing and internal tanking.
