Waterproofing
Systems
Modern basements are used for entertainment, bedrooms, home offices and all types
of dry storage, which is why it is important to have your home properly waterproofed.
There are many excellent Waterproofing products available, and all of them
will provide a dry basement if they are properly applied. Waterproofing, Inc.
has been installing high performance systems for over 30 years, with more than
7 million square feet in the Twin Cities area. The most commonly used
Waterproofing material is Polymer Modified Asphalt, an emulsion asphalt with rubber
blended into the emulsion to provide an elastic capability to bridge shrinkage
cracks that occur in masonry and poured walls. This system is then covered with
a drain, insulation, and protection board that provides a water drain plane up
the vertical wall as well as protects the membrane from backfill damage. This
board has an energy value that meets code requirements. This
Waterproofing System, in conjunction with properly installed drainage system will
assure a dry and usable basement.
