The most important stage in the construction of the house is the waterproofing of the basement. This is not only a reliable protection of the foundation, but the entire structure. Waterproofing provides the ability to save things that are located in the cellar, and also prevent moisture, dampness, fungus, etc.
The main options
To date, several types of waterproofing are used:
Ever.
Crystaline.
Bulk.
Plaster.
It is necessary to choose a suitable option only after a detailed study of the soil, the depth of occurrence and freezing of groundwater. If the owner does not have the necessary skills and knowledge, it is recommended to entrust the work of qualified specialists.
A good solution is the penetrating waterproofing of basements from groundwater. It provides an opportunity to prevent capillary penetration of water through the structure of concrete. This material is an ideal option for waterproofing basements. This is explained by the fact that it can be applied both from the external and from the inside. Thus, you can refuse to open the external perimeter to perform high -quality waterproofing. As a result, you can significantly reduce the time of work. In addition, the technology for using this composition does not need difficult and prolonged preparation of the surface.
This type of waterproofing is represented by a dry mixture. Due to mixing with water, it thickens. In this form, it is applied to a moisturized surface. The material contains numerous additives. They react with concrete and form crystalline particles inside the concrete structure. It should be noted that the stronger the capillaries are filled with water, the more efficiently the crystals grow. Due to this, numerous pores and minimum cracks are filled with high quality, which guarantees excellent sealing of the main structures.
The most important advantage of penetrating waterproofing is its safety and environmental friendliness. Concrete, which is processed using this material, is not able to pass water. However, it “breathes” perfectly, respectively, is vapor permeable. This is of great importance for the state of concrete, as well as for the health and well -being of people who live or periodically present in this building.
