As a waterproofing expert, you’ve seen everything that can go right and wrong with waterproofing. During design, inexperienced designers may use inappropriate details and miss out important details. When waterproofing is bid, perhaps the contractor doesn’t properly bid the surface preparation that’s needed for membranes to be properly applied. During construction, you’ve seen delays because the concrete surface wasn’t dry enough to apply membrane, and seen waterproofing contractors taking shortcuts or not understanding complex details. After the waterproofing has been applied, you’ve seen it damaged by other contractors. And if you’ve been left out of the process at any stage, you may have been called in afterwards, when a membrane has leaked and nobody knows where it was damaged or who damaged it and should repair the leak.
Hycrete waterproofing solutions provide you with an alternative. Membrane-free construction using Hycrete waterproofing solutions can provide you with high-performance waterproofing that reduces construction cost and schedule. If you’re looking to value engineer a project, this may be a solution. If you have a particularly sensitive concrete structure to waterproof, you can have double protection waterproofing using Hycrete waterproofing products plus a membrane for a belt-and-suspender system.
Of course, like all other waterproofing solutions, Hycrete products and services will not work in every situation. Find out which applications we recommend, and we’re happy to discuss any projects and applications with you.
Every system works better with good quality control. Hycrete, Inc. works with waterproofing consultants to ensure that waterproofing inspections are fully completed, and can train you on inspecting designs and installations using Hycrete products.
