Assess Build Chem: Basement Waterproofing for Long-Lasting Protection
Basement waterproofing is a crucial aspect of building construction, especially in areas prone to high water tables or heavy rainfall. Proper waterproofing ensures the longevity and structural integrity of the building while creating a dry and secure space.
Waterproofing deep basements goes beyond simply providing a membrane, admixtures or surface-level protection. It involves creating a comprehensive system that prevents water intrusion from all directions, including the retaining walls, floors, and joints. Deep basements are particularly vulnerable to water damage, making waterproofing a critical step in the building construction. In short, effective basement waterproofing allows effective use of space and lowers maintenance costs for basements.
Deep basement waterproofing presents unique challenges due to the increased hydrostatic pressure exerted by the surrounding soil and water tables. Factors such as soil conditions, groundwater levels, and building design must be considered while implementing a waterproofing solution.
Assess Build Chem, a leading provider of construction chemicals, is offering innovative solutions for deep / large basement waterproofing. Its wide range of innovative construction chemicals are specifically designed for basement waterproofing. The products are known for their exceptional quality, durability, and performance in challenging environments.
Our core competency is formulating, manufacturing, and assembling highly effective waterproofing systems to enhance the durability of basements. We focus on using the correct materials, machinery and methodology, and employ only trained manpower. We work with specifiers and applicators to deliver a defect free waterproofing system to the end-user.
5-Step waterproofing method
The company follows a 5-Step waterproofing method that is proven to be effective in any type of basement structure or area. Concrete Improvement: This includes restoration of the surface to its pristine condition to receive the waterproofing solution such as hydrophobic, or the high-performing crystalline integral waterproofing additives such as SS – ConProof CR in new concrete, SS – LeakProof, SS – NanoFill and SS – PolyBond Range of polymer additives for mortar and the SS – StructoCrete and SS – StructoRep Range of Polymer Repair mortars to repair and restore the surface.
Filling Cracks and Voids: This is normally done by cutting and patching using repair mortars or Injection Grouting to help close the water ingress pathways. Solutions such as SS – WaterStop FC Cementitious Grout, SS – CrackSeal EP Epoxy Grouts, F. Willich, and the Rascor Range of Polyurethane and Silicate Grouts, and SS – WaterStop DPC Chemical for Heritage Structures are highly effective in sealing water pathways. Be they new or old basements, we can stop any water ingress problems with our proven grouting solutions.
Joints and Penetrations: The next step is to effectively waterproof corners, expansion joints, and construction joints, since these areas are most prone to leaks first. Our range of SS – JointSeal FT for Corner / Construction Joints, SS – JointSeal T1 for Expansion Joints, SS – JointSeal FT Membrane for Pipe Penetrations, and SS – JointSeal SW / MaxJoint W-Seal swellable waterbars help to both repair and protect joints.
Coatings and Waterproof Barriers: Once the surface, cracks and corners are prepared, we are finally ready to install the waterproof barrier. These barriers can be slurry applied crystalline systems from our SS – CrystoSeal Range, or the cementitious flexible coating SS – SuperSeal Flex, or the ready-to-use mastic coatings SS – FlexProof AC (Acrylic), or SS – FlexProof PU, or SS – FlexProof PU (B) (Polyurethane).
Drainage and Protection: This is an important part of the waterproofing system that allows water to drain away from the waterproofed surface. This can be done by means of various mortars, screeds, or tiles. We provide a full range of additives for mortars and screeds such as SS – ConProof Range, SS – PlastProof IL and a superhydrophobic, breathable, ready to use mortar SS – HydroNil PM. Tiling can be done with our fully waterproof tile adhesives from our SS – TileFix Range.
