Foundation Waterproofing
Foundation waterproofing eliminates both water seepage and moisture transpiration through the foundation walls. This process requires excavation of the foundation to the bottom of the building’s footing. Foundation cracks, holes and penetrations are repaired with a hydraulic cement to patch or bridge the concrete and allow a smooth surface for the installation of a waterproofing membrane. AM Shield utilizes both trowel grade and heat spray applied membranes.
Foundation Excavation
- Property is marked out to locate all utilities buried in the area.
- Surrounding areas are protected prior to excavation.
- Foundation wall is excavated to the depth of the footing.
- Foundation wall is cleaned and inspected.
Foundation Damage
After excavation certain foundation walls can be found in this condition. Years of water penetration, freeze, thaw and settlement can damage a foundation making structural repair necessary.
Foundation Repair
When a foundation is found in poor structural condition all loose or deteriorated concrete is removed. A bonding agent is applied to the foundation and a high performance mortar repair is installed to the foundation wall prior to applying a
waterproofing membrane.
