Whether your retaining wall is holding back damp earth or is below the water table, Hycrete waterproofing products can protect against water damage. Even in difficult conditions such as where shotcrete is used for a retaining wall, Hycrete admixtures securely barrier water and protect the concrete against damage. Because absorption is significantly reduced, your wall is also protected against effluorescence.
You may have a retention tank in your building project to help reduce overload on your local stormwater system and also to gain LEED points. As these tanks are below grade, after construction it is very difficult and expensive to go back and do repairs, or to reapply coatings and membranes. Potable water tanks are often above ground and more accessible, but they are large and expensive to repair. Hycrete waterproofing solutions can help you in a number of ways. The waterproofing is inside the concrete - it is protected by the concrete, and it will not get damaged or wash away over time.
Installing and removing a temporary roof takes time and money. Pour a concrete slab containing Hycrete waterproofing admixtures instead. Hycrete waterproofing products may be used to waterproof temporary roofs, enabling finishes to be installed in floors below without risk of water damage. Schedules are accelerated at a lower cost. With Hycrete System W, you can have even more assurance. You can hose test the roof before the membrane is applied, and if there are any leaks they will be fixed. So the membrane is protecting a structure which is already watertight.
Ensure you have done everything you can to maintain a watertight green roof and protect the space below by adding Hycrete waterproofing admixtures for extra protection. Hycrete admixtures dramatically reduce water absorption in concrete and offer superior performance to crystalline admixtures. Capillary absorption is shut down, preventing water and chlorides from entering the concrete and your structure. Hycrete admixtures are compatible with membrane waterproofing systems and work in conjunction to offer added protection for your vegetated roof.
Water has long been the bane of the stucco industry. Whether it's surfaces absorption of ambient moisture, wind-driven rain, or incipient mold growth, all the problems are noxious. Stucco contractors want to avoid callbacks - and lawsuits above all. Hycrete M1000 can be applied to cementitious stucco mixes to keep the water out, giving you water-repellant stucco. Performance compare to a control is quite dramatic. Regular cementitious products readily absorb water. Adding Hycrete M1000 considerably reduces the amount of moisture absorbed, protecting your CMUs, blocks, pavers, mortar, stucco, and anything behind it.
Use Hycrete waterproofing solutions to ensure your pool or water feature remains watertight. By keeping water in your tank you will reduce maintenance costs as well as staining as wicking of salts through concrete is reduced with Hycrete waterproofing solutions. Also, enhance the durability of your pool, pond or fountain by preventing salts and other deleterious substances from wicking through your concrete.
Hycrete products make concrete waterproof, by reducing absorption of water and dissolved salts into the concrete and by forming a protective layer over reinforcing steel. Built on a foundation of corporate and environmental responsibility, Hycrete takes ownership of innovating solutions to the biggest challenges of the world's most widely used building material. We believe that sustainable construction practices should go hand-in-hand with solutions that yield meaningful cost benefits, simplify and speed assembly, and create more durable structures.
Hycrete waterproofing products deliver hydrophobic concrete, significantly reducing absorption. They also speed the healing of cracks. Hycrete System offers full-service waterproofing of concrete structures, with an industry-leading warranty - If it leaks, we'll fix it. Hycrete corrosion inhibiting admixtures (1) Reduce concrete permeability so water and dissolved salts don't reach the steel, (2) Speed up the healing of cracks, and (3) Form a protective layer on steel. Hycrete mortar and stucco admixtures reduce the absorption of water into mortar and stucco, protecting the structure underneath.
Use Hycrete admixtures to protect your precast concrete and ensure that water is not able to enter your concrete and bring salt and other deleterious substances with it. By keeping water out you reduce the possibility of precast concrete corrosion and interior water damage and enhance the durability of the concrete.
