THE PROJECT
Trueproof approached our Queensland team seeking a basement waterproofing solution. They knew they wanted to use PVC membranes but were seeking a more efficient way to waterproof around a very detailed system of footings, rebar and pile caps.
THE SOLUTION
A flexible PVC synthetic membrane, Proofex PGP saved time and money due to the ease and speed of installation. The puncture resistant membranes were loose laid on a blinding slab and connected with epoxy paste Fosroc Nitomortar AP followed by hot air welding.
The use of Polyurea WHE110 to spray around the footings was a gamechanger, saving a lot of time compared to wrapping and cutting the sheets around each structural element. It adhered strongly to the Proofex PGP to create a strong single layer of waterproofing across the entire basement and lift pit.
Both the customer and the applicator were delighted with the durable, good-looking result and fast application process.
