Introduction: Anyone who has mopped up a wet basement knows the damage that water leaves in its wake. In addition to obvious problems such as peeling paint, the ruin of household goods, damp musty smells and the loss of valuable storage space, water can cause damage in slower and less obvious ways. Damp timbers (wood joists and beams) can warp and bow, and are susceptible to the fungi that cause mold, mildew, dry rot and other possible health risks. Also, water in a basement makes any improvement or remodelling impossible. As a preferred certified applicator we have waterproofed over one thousand basements & millions of square feet of Xypex Coatings and hundreds of other products. Because of our experience we can offer material and labor warranties to repairs. The battle against moisture is the most common basement problem faced by homeowners. It can range from seepage through the pores of walls and floors to water gushing through cracks, construction joints (e.g. where the floor and walls meet) or structural defects. In spite of this, most basements have been built with little or no attention to preventing moisture problems. Unless you live in Draper or Park City interestingly enough. When water seepage does occur, it is preferable to solve the problem from the inside so that the costly process of excavating the exterior of the foundation is avoided. However, for an inside application to be successful, it is important that the correct product be used. Because conventional surface coatings rely on their adhesion to basement walls and floors, they frequently blister and peel off when subjected to water pressure and seepage. Many can only be applied to a completely dry surface and cannot therefore be used when needed most. Xypex® provides homeowners with an industrially proven technology that has been used by contractors on the most demanding concrete waterproofing projects around the world for more than 45 years. Xypex® prevents: * Water Seepage * Crumbling Foundations * Unhealthy Dampness * Musty Odor & Peeling Paint * Warped Paneling & Lifted Tiles * Damage to Stored Articles * Dry Rotting of Studs When mixed with water and applied as a cementitious coating, the active chemicals in Xypex® cause a catalytic reaction which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation of dendritic fibers within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete. This process permanently seals the concrete against the penetration of water or liquids from any direction.“U.S. Army Corps of Engineers CRD C48-73 “ Permeability of Concrete” after crystalline growth had occurred no measurable leakage at 175 psi (405 foot head of water).
