Secure Your Foundation for the Future with our durable and effective substructure waterproofing services in Dubai.
Key Benefits of Substructure Waterproofing
Prevents Water leakage
The primary function of substructure waterproofing is to prevent water from entering the foundation and underground structures. This is critical in areas with high water tables, heavy rainfall, or the potential for groundwater flooding.
Increases the strength of structures
Soil often contains harmful chemicals or pollutants that can damage concrete foundations. Waterproofing the substructure safeguards the building materials from chemical deterioration, ensuring their long-term integrity.
Reduces Maintenance Costs
A well-protected foundation minimizes the risk of issues such as mold growth, damp walls, and structural damage caused by excess moisture. By preventing these problems, you can save on future repair and maintenance costs.
Adds Value to the Property
A waterproofed foundation is a significant asset that improves the overall quality and durability of a building. It instills confidence in potential buyers or investors regarding the property's structure, which can result in a higher market value.
Protection Against Chemical and Soil Contaminants
In a construction, water is a major cause of corrosion, affecting both concrete and steel reinforcement. You can ensure the longevity of your building by waterproofing your substructure so that it can resist cracks and spalling, which is crucial for a stable foundation.
Prevents Settlement Issues
Excess water around the foundation can cause soil movement or erosion. It prevents water accumulation around the foundation and stabilizes the soil, thus avoiding expensive settlement problems.
Our Substructure Waterproofing Methods
Bituminous Torch-Applied Waterproofing
This method uses hot-applied bitumen-based rolls.
It creates the best barrier against water infiltration. That why it is the perfect methods for foundations and basements.
Suitable for both horizontal and vertical surfaces, this method is especially effective for structures exposed to underground water.
PVC/TPO Membrane Waterproofing
PVC membranes are crafted from robust PVC material, strengthen with polyester for added durability. They are installed by welding the seams using hot air, resulting in a completely watertight layer. Similarly, TPO membranes, made from resilient thermoplastic polyolefins, are also made with polyester and installed in the same way to ensure a leak-proof surface.
The primary aim of both membranes is to deliver long-lasting waterproofing for roofs. They are engineered to endure harsh weather conditions, direct sunlight, and, in the case of TPO, even root growth. Both options are highly durable and require minimal maintenance.
These membranes are ideal for flat or sloped roofs, particularly in regions with high sunlight or extreme weather. They are also well-suited for eco-friendly projects since both PVC and TPO are fully recyclable, making them environmentally responsible choices. TPO membranes are particularly beneficial for green roofs with vegetation, providing robust protection while being gentle on the environment.
EPDM Waterproofing Membranes
EPDM membranes are applied cold, eliminating the need for heat or specialized tools during installation. Their high flexibility allows them to cover large areas without seams, making them excellent for preventing leaks and adapting to various shapes or designs.
EPDM waterproofing membranes provide long-term protection. They are designed to fight severe weather, including UV radiation and aging from sunlight.
