Waterproofing strengthens and makes the surfaces of a basement water-resistant. It also enables you to protect the structural integrity of the basement so the space is useable and adequately protected.
It’s not uncommon for waterproofing to take a backseat when developing plans and specifications for a building. Yet when it comes to protecting a building’s foundation from the impacts of water infiltration, there are good reasons why waterproofing needs to stay top of mind.

Sustainable concrete waterproofing - What? Why? How?
Let's take a step back here, and ask ourselves - what are our real reasons for waterproofing concrete structures in the first place?
Basements need long term waterproofing solutions. It is not commercially viable, and often not even possible, to fix or upgrade failed basement waterproofing systems.
Penetron’s Penebar SW waterstop will become an integral part of the waterproofing system on our latest project in Victoria! Penebar SW-55 is a hydrophillic waterstop that will expand when exposed to water.
Basement waterproofing requires a methodical approach.
Adverse site conditions, dewatering, retention systems and hydrostatic pressure are amongst many of the issues that we need to consider when proposing solutions for basements.
