Above Grade Waterproofing

Grout injection to Membranes

Below Grade Waterproofing systems are critical for the protection of subterranean sections of any building and structure.  Generally the outside of the foundation wall receives an application of a hot or cold applied system.  In addition to the coating system, drainage board and insulation may be used.  

Roadways and Plazas located over occupied spaces must be waterproofed prior to the overburden.  As with any below grade application, the primary weaknesses are at the transitions and between terminations.

We have solved water intrusion and decking membranes in the following locations:

  • elevator shafts
  • interior foundation walls
  • below grade parking structures
  • concrete water tanks and reservoirs
  • subterranean mechanical rooms

Moorhouse Coating employs the latest water proofing techniques.  We have an experienced staff trained to use urethane grout injection, crystalline waterproofing material, membranes and liners.

01 Preparation is key

The most important factor affecting the protective service life of a coating is the surface preparation prior to application of the coating. The best coating available will not give optimum service when applied over improperly cleaned surfaces. It is essential, therefore, that the coating is applied only to clean, sound, dry, and properly prepared surfaces.

03 Caulking

Caulk is applied to all joints, seams, built-up sections, or open seams greater than 6 mils using a sealing material after application of the undercoat. we verify the application of this material does not create a condition where water can pond. Another critical step is the curing of caulk prior to application of the finish. coats

04 Complete Coating Systems

1. To achieve an impervious membrane which inhibits corrosion. 2. To protect the steel against impact or abrasion. 3. To give the structure a pleasing appearance.

05 Measurement

• Wet Film Thickness (WFT) is measured with a step gauge (non-electronic device) used by the painters during coating application to achieve a desired dry thickness. • Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is measured when the coating is dry (electronic device) to verify that the specified thickness was achieved.
