The use of penetrating waterproofing for concrete, masonry , foundation

Penetrating waterproofing the basement - it is a necessary and important stage in the construction of a country house, which will protect the foundation from moisture.

Since the foundation is the foundation of any structure, its properties characterizing the strength and maintenance, must be very high.

protection from moisture house both outside inside - it's the first thing you need to worry, laying it.

Penetrating waterproofing the basement to protect the house from moisture, groundwater, rain, melt water resulting from the melting of snow.

How does waterproofing penetrating?

Chemicals, cement and sand, entering into a chemical reaction with the concrete and penetrate into the concrete inside the clutch, thereby increasing the water repellent characteristics of the foundation, increase its strength, reduce shrinkage.

Through crystallization reagents inside the masonry, the concrete does not occur and the emptiness of the space from the air, which can destroy it.

Coming into contact with moisture, the crystals grow from the inside, that is, provide waterproofing.If the humidity is high, the crystals do not change in volume.

benefits of penetrating waterproofing:

• is not toxic;
• suitable for processing of surface and underground structures;
• Obmazochnaya or injection waterproofing is easy to use;
• can be applied both to the outside and the inside;
• is the foundation a whole, therefore, does not flake and is not subjected to mechanical stress;
• used for the treatment of not only new, but also old concrete;
• wide scope: used for masonry, pools, foundations of buildings, cellars, basements and other things;
• one of the best ways to protect against groundwater.

Processing concrete structures

Before you begin to protect the foundation from the ground water both outside and inside, clean it off the ground, dust.Inside

foundation cleaned of mold, plaster, paint.Seams, joints, fractures sealed by a sealant.

Please note, if you plan to carry out work to protect the already finished construction, the processing of basements from the inside is required, as the penetration of groundwater into the masonry is the most common cause of the destruction of the foundation.

surface must be clean to liquid waterproofing Wednesday from getting inside the masonry.

foundation is saturated with water.Obmazochnaya liquid applied to the wet surface in two layers, with a mandatory break of at least 6 hours.

before recoating concrete structure is necessary to moisten.When working with liquid waterproofing typically use brushes, layers are applied in opposite directions.

Protect foundation and you can fill it up, this dry mix waterproofing solution is mixed with the dry mix concrete future.

Sometimes used combination guard, added to the mixture and the finished surface is treated.

protection brickwork

Waterproofing protection brick structure is somewhat different from the concrete.Uses two methods to protect against groundwater.Injection processing and plagovaya shirt.

To make an injection, or as it is called cutoff waterproofing over the entire surface of masonry made using the drill holes.

holes staggered at a distance of about 250 mm from each other, their diameter is 25-32 mm.

make a hole filled with waterproofing mixture, make the so-called injection.When all of the holes will be filled Obmazochnaya mixture is applied to the entire surface.

The second way to remove the top layer of bricks, and fill seams embroider protective structure.The entire surface is plastered in plaster also added that through the solution.

Thereafter bricklaying processed penetrating waterproofing materials.

Note

quality penetrating waterproofing the basement, protection of the foundation from the ground, melt water, rain and other things depends not only on the properties of the material used, but also on the right technology to work with him.

Do not forget that the waterproofing mixture was diluted with water, and not vice versa.

Obmazochnaya If the mixture has not been fully used up, then it must be thrown away, and to carry out further works to make a new one.

Different kinds of mixtures penetrating forbidden to mix with each other.Comprehensive protection is always more effective, so in addition to the penetrating protection, use roll and liquid waterproofing.

penetrating waterproofing is used only for solid foundations and is not suitable for foundations formed by a gradual flooding.
