Foundation waterproofing - reliable and durable insulation from the inside and outside. One of the most important parts of any construction is the foundation, which acts as an intermediate link between the foundation and the main structure. During construction, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the waterproofing of the foundation but also to the foundation itself. The most versatile and modern solution for waterproofing will be spraying polyurethane. This compound has many advantages and can extend the life of the foundation of the house for several decades. Reliable and durable waterproofing Polyurethane, in many ways, surpasses traditional bituminous waterproofing (coating or roll), which is a cheaper but less effective option. Unlike bituminous insulation, liquid polymer spraying:
Applies quickly and easily.
Has good adhesion to various building materials.
Does not require the use of open flame.
Is not subject to sharp temperature changes.
Resists chemical compounds and fires.
Can maintain its physical properties and appearance for over 50 years.
Universal polyurethane is used by many specialists for finishing construction structures both from the inside and outside. This insulation compound provides complete tightness and additional protection of surfaces from mechanical damage. Suitable for application on both the foundation and the base, as well as other areas of construction (e.g., the roof). Bituminous insulation in these cases serves only as a cheap alternative, which significantly lags behind polyurethane. Its use may lead to faster wear and tear of the structure and increased financial costs for waterproofing in the future. Waterproofing from the inside and outside Usually, the materials used for the construction of the foundation have a porous structure (concrete, brick). When moisture, groundwater, or atmospheric precipitation penetrate their surface, there is a risk of mold and mildew formation. In addition, water penetrates deep into the material, saturating it, as a result of which the building material becomes loose, and in winter, freezing water can destroy it altogether. Modern polymer waterproofing compound is designed to extend the life of the foundation and protect its walls and floors from moisture. Polyurethane is applied both to the external part and to the walls and floor inside the basement premises. It is recommended to carry out external treatment during the construction of the entire building. In this case, it will be easier to implement the full range of activities since there will be no need to excavate the area that needs to be insulated, thus reducing labor costs. Complete insulation is achieved after the completion of the spraying process from the inside. This procedure is relevant not only for preventing mold formation and increased humidity but also for making the basement premises safe for use and for applying additional finishing materials, such as plaster, decorative panels, tiles, etc.
