WATERPROOFING CONTRACTOR

NEW SYSTEM!  Existing Foundation Waterproofing System.  Patent Pending.

Quantum is proud to be offering a new proprietary system.  This system is an insulation and waterproofing membrane done in a single step.  It is unlike any waterproofing system on the market.  We can literally waterproof any kind of foundation in any condition!  The material is hard as a rock and will not break down over time or scrape off.  This system truly is in a league of its own.  Below are a few areas where you would want to us this system.

  1. Spray Closed Cell Foam Over Foundation Walls
  2. Apply A Rhino Bedliner Type Material Over Foam
  • Field Stone or Rock Foundations
  • Old Cracked Concrete Foundations
  • New Foundations In Areas With High Water Table
  • Foundations On Ledge
  • Foundations That Will Have A Finished Basement

 

What is Foundation Waterproofing?

Waterproofing is a protective membrane applied to the exterior side of a foundation wall.  This membrane stops water from getting through the walls and into the basement interior.  Spray application provides a seamless barrier that turns the interior into a dry basement. Without foundation waterproofing, water can seep through a foundation wall or through a crack in the foundation.

Foundation Waterproofing Must Do Three Things

According to the testing and approval criteria of the ICC-ES for foundation waterproofing, it must do three things:

  • Span a crack in a foundation
  • Withstand water under hydrostatic pressure
  • Stop water vapor from entering a basement

More Steps to Keep Your Basement Dry

Making a basement dry doesn’t just start with foundation waterproofing. There are other systems and features that need to be included as a building is being built to be sure the basement stays dry.

 

1. Foundation Drainage System

All waterproofing products need to have a functioning ground water drainage system in place. This is simply a perforated pipe that goes around the bottom of a foundation and either drains water to daylight, or if that is not possible, then collects the water in a sump pit. From there a sump pump removes the water from the foundation area.

The purpose of a foundation drainage system is to remove ground water that accumulates around a foundation and under the basement floor. Foundations that lack or have an improperly working foundation drainage system can have water actually enter the basement at the joint where the floor meets the foundation wall.

 

2. Soil Grading

In addition, the grade of the soil around the building should slope away from it. Grade that slopes towards the building can cause a pooling effect that can get above the area treated with waterproofing. When this happens, the water can enter any cracks in the foundation and enter the basement.
