Waterproofing is fundamental to protecting industrial and municipal structures and building sites from water and moisture problems. As water can migrate through heavy rainfall, air/vapour intrusion, leakage and ground settlement, waterproofing your structure against water migration is important.
Algoma specializes in exterior and interior waterproofing solutions to prevent outside water penetration and inside moisture damage. As certified applicators of Tremco, Gemite, Grace, Soprema and W.R.Meadows products, we apply the correct surface waterproofing treatment to divert water away from your valuable assets and extend their life.
WATERPROOFING SOLUTIONS USED BY OUR EXPERT TEAM:
Cementitious waterproofing is widely recognized as one of the most effective waterproofing methods.
Any structure with a concrete base utilizes cementitious waterproofing to form a barrier against water vapour, moisture and water. Breathable, seamless coatings are applied by spraying or brushing over masonry patching, behind tile and concrete surfaces to protect reinforced concrete structures.
This coating can be broken down into two main types:
Crystalline cementitious waterproofing systems – are used on the positive and negative sides of concrete structures filling in cracks, capillaries and pores to prevent water from seeping through.
Flexible cementitious waterproofing systems – are suitable for structures in constant contact with water including basements, storage tanks and pumping stations.
