Sealing the foundation walls to help prevent outside moisture from entering the basement.
A process used on concrete, masonry or stone surfaces for the purpose of repelling water. Moisture vapor readily penetrates coatings of this type. The main purpose of dampproofing is to prevent the coated surface from absorbing rain water while allowing is to breathe moisture vapor out of the structure.
Prevention of moisture penetration by capillary action.
One or more coatings of a compound that is impervious to water applied to a surface above grade.
The coating applied to the exterior of a foundation wall with a waterproofing material such as foundation coating.
1. Waterproofing treatment available as a coating or addition to concrete or mortar for use with masonry. 2. To prevent moisture penetration by capillary action in masonry. 3. To make moisture resistant.
Treatment of a surface or structure to resist the passage of water in the absence of hydrostatic pressure.
The black, tar like waterproofing material applied to the exterior of a foundation wall
Prevention of moisture penetration due to capillary action by the addition of one or more coatings of a compound that is impervious to water.
treatment of a surface or structure to resist the passage of water in the absence of hydro-staticpressure.
The treatment of concrete or mortar to help prevent the passage or absorption of water in the absence of hydrostatic pressure; not necessarily waterproof.
A process used on concrete, masonry or stone surfaces to repel water, the main purpose of which is to prevent the coated surface from absorbing rain water while still permitting moisture vapor to escape from the structure. (Moisture vapor readily penetrates coatings of this type.) "Dampproofing" generally applies to surfaces above grade; "waterproofing" generally applies to surfaces below grade.
