Foundational Damp-proofing: A Two-Stage Process

 

For spaces that require a defense against ground moisture, our Single-Layer Dampproofing System provides a proven and effective solution. This method is ideal for foundations and slabs where the risk of hydrostatic pressure is low.

The application is meticulously carried out in two distinct stages to ensure complete coverage and integrity:

  • Stage 1: Horizontal Application We begin with the horizontal application on the blinding concrete, a crucial step to prevent moisture from rising through the ground slab. The process involves laying a DADCO membrane over a polyethylene film and blinding concrete, followed by a temporary protection screed.

  • Stage 2: Vertical Application Once the temporary screed is removed, the second stage is applied to the vertical walls. The membrane is carefully bonded to the first horizontal layer, creating a continuous, seamless seal that prevents moisture from penetrating the foundation walls.

This multi-stage approach ensures a durable, long-lasting barrier, protecting your foundation from the ground up.
