The basis of any house is the foundation. Proper care and protection, which ensures the durability and reliability of the structure. Often build concrete foundations. Regardless of the brand and the quality of the material, all reinforced concrete products can absorb moisture and transmit it to neighboring materials. Because of this, the walls of the houses, floors and as a result, fungal surface infection is formed.
For waterproofing, the soil freezing point, the presence of groundwater, soil types and the specifics of operation of the structure are taken into account. Based on these data, choose a vertical waterproofing method:
Bitumen. Provides protection for a maximum of 5 years. Applied in several layers.
Enough. Rolled materials are used that are glued using mastic or bitumen.
With the help of liquid rubber, a more stable foundation protection is provided. But this material is subject to mechanical damage, which significantly reduces the quality of waterproofing.
Penetrating waterproofing provides crystallization of the concrete surface to a depth of 2 cm. applied in several layers, better to moisturized concrete.
Plastering waterproofing using hydraulic concrete. Work is carried out according to lighthouses with standard methods.
Bentonite mats provide reliable waterproofing.
For more reliable protection of the foundation, combined protection methods are used, combining two or three of the above methods.
