This is a house in Olinda.

 

The customer contacted us with the following request: "Can you waterproof to stop water running down
the inside of the front wall of the house, and into the rooms under the house.
Placing sandbags in front of this area are stopping the water getting into the house. "

Some "specialist" had previously done waterproofing by smearing polyurethane sealant with his finger,
taking money for this "waterproofing".

 

This NEVER works! But people persistently do it.

 

We don't typically offer our branded "Triple Protection" method for these types of situations because
water often runs under the concrete and waterproofing the footpath-to-wall joint doesn't work.

 

But in this case, sandbags helped temporarily stop the water. This means that rainwater penetrated
exactly through the junction of the wall and the concrete path.

First of all, it is necessary to remove the "professionally applied" sealant in order to clean the joint.
After this, injection packers are installed and high pressure injection with Hydrophilic Polyurethane
Injection Resin is performed.

The Hydrophilic Polyurethane Injection Resin is injected under high pressure into the joint and fills it
completely.
Expanding and increasing in volume, part of the resin protrudes outward. This means that the joint and all
existing voids and cavities are filled completely.

The next day, the injection packers and excess product are removed.

Once dry, the membrane will take on a dark gray color. We carry out the work very carefully using masking
tape. Therefore the edges are smooth and beautiful. 

 

In the future the customer can paint the membrane any color. The appearance of the house does not
suffer at all.
