Membrane Waterproofing

Sheet and liquid membranes applied above, below or at grade.

Membrane Waterproofing

Overview

Membrane waterproofing is applied to the exterior face of a structure. It can go above, below or at grade on surfaces exposed to weather and surrounding soil. It is available as a fluid-applied membrane, sheet membrane, or hydrous clay and vapour barriers.

Membranes form a continuous, seamless layer that keeps water away from the concrete itself. They are the go-to choice for large roofs, podiums, basements and foundation walls.

We install APP and SBS torch-on membranes, self-adhesive sheets and fluid-applied polyurethane membranes, with careful detailing at laps, upstands and penetrations, where most failures start.

How the job runs.

  1. Step 1

    Substrate prep

    Grinding, cleaning and priming for full adhesion.

  2. Step 2

    Detailing

    Fillets, upstands and pipe collars treated first.

  3. Step 3

    Lay membrane

    Torch-on or fluid membrane with overlapped, sealed joints.

  4. Step 4

    Protect

    Screed or protection board so the membrane stays intact.

Questions, answered.

Sheet or liquid membrane, which is better?+

Sheets give consistent thickness over large flat areas. Liquid membranes are better for complex shapes with many penetrations. We often combine both on the same project.
