 Below Grade Waterproofing
Below grade masonry
can be effectively waterproofed using the BarrierGuard System. This system provides a low cost
and permanent mechanical seal against water ingress from hydrostatic
pressure. Care should be taken to include waterproofing over the footing
to assure wall and footing sealing. The BarrierGuard System should cover
the underground surface and several inches above grade. BarrierGuard
System should be applied from the outside. However, in some cases inside
waterproofing is acceptable.

Clear Masonry
Unpainted masonry will allow water ingress throughout its
surface. Sealing unpainted masonry can be achieved by applying ClearGuard
Plus. ClearGuard Plus is a state-of-the-art water and oil repellant
that reduces the surface tension preventing water to stick-and
ClearGuard Plus dries clear and does not leave a sheen.

CrackBridging Elastomeric Coating
Masonry and stucco can be major points of entry of water due to
cracking. The best solution to this problem is Flexcoat. FlexCoat
crackbridging elastomeric is carefully formulated to stay flexible to
handle crack movement while providing a high quality water seal at the
same time. And FlexCoat comes in hundreds of custom colors to match your
decor. FlexCoat is a top quality above grade waterproofing that solves
your problem and at the same time looks great.
Note: Chalky surfaces must be primed with SureBond primer before applying this product.

Curbs, Pitch Pockets, Roof Drains and Scuppers
These leak points require special attention to detail in flashing. These
critical leak points must be well flashed with the full PremiumCoat System.
Note: Since many of these areas are heavy water collection points it is advised the
BarrierGuard System be applied over the PremiumCoat
System.
BarrierGuard will provide extra protection not only in
water ponding conditions but also provide protection for water erosion
areas. Please contact technical support for specific
information.

Decks
Decks are roofs that you walk on and must be waterproofed with the complete PremiumCoat System.
Special attention must be given to deck and wall junctions with Cant Strips. All posts, railings and walls
must be treated. For increased protection, TrafficCoat abrasion resistant coating may be applied
over the PremiumCoat System.
|
|
Flat Roofs
The entire field of flat roof can potentially leak and must be sealed using
the complete PremiumCoat System. Care must be taken to prepare the
surface by power washing and making any necessary substrate repairs
before applying the PremiumCoat System. Ponding water conditions must be
corrected at this time. And an attention to detail of all flashings and
parapet walls is a must.

|
Fountains
Fountains, fish ponds, planters, and retaining walls and other
masonry structures that require waterproofing can be treated by the BarrierGuard
System. There are many special applications that are difficult to
waterproof but Hydro-Stop's BarrierGuard System works quite well.
|
Gutters can be
treated with the PremiumCoat System but the gutter must be pitched
correctly. After proper preparation, including pressure washing and rust
proofing using StableRust Primer, the PremiumCoat System is applied.
|
Metal Roofs
Commercial metal roofs can be sealed by applying the PremiumCoat System over all leak points of the roof.
Laps, seams, penetrations, skylights, screw heads and parapets must be sealed. Once the leak points have been properly flashed, the entire roof field is coated with two coats of FinishCoat. Proper preparation and priming of rusted areas with
StableRust Primer is most important.

Old historic standing seam roofs or commercial roofs in very bad condition should
receive the full PremiumCoat System. Proper preparation and priming of rusted areas with StableRust Primer
is most important. |

Parapet Walls and Copings
Parapets and Copings are part of the roof and are a major source
of water intrusion. Water normally enters at the junction of wall and
roof. It also enters from the top of the coping. The parapet wall can be
completely sealed with the |
|
Penetrations
Penetrations include any object that protrudes through the roof field. These are leak
points and must be well sealed with the PremiumCoat System. Care should be taken to flash at least 6" up the
penetrations and 6" down the penetrations. Please contact |
|
Skylights
Skylights are flashed with the PremiumCoat System. The surface must be clean and the
perimeter interface of roof and skylight must be completely sealed.
