Basement waterproofing protects a variety of existing below-grade structures that includes basements, underground houses, split-level buildings, underground storage areas and cellars. These structures are prone to foundation failure, distress and moisture-induced problems that can lead to water seepage, mould formation and structural failure.
The method utilised in basement waterproofing consist of techniques and materials to prevent water from infiltrating the basements. Thus, preserving the structural integrity.
Neoferma developed its patented basement waterproofing solution that fits even the most complicated of situations, such as below-grade structures found along shorelines and desert sands.
How does NeoPanel Basement Waterproofing Works?
A reactive membrane is placed under the concrete floor, as well as to the wall substrate, before the walls are installed. This method allows the panel joints to seal from the negative side while providing a positive basement waterproofing that meets the requirements set by both the developer and builder.
Precast Panels
Precast panels are manufactured offsite, saving installation time and labour costs. They conform to the Confined Spaces Act which regulates confined spaces and the dangers it can impose on the workers.
The use of precast panels results to better quality performance, because it eliminates possible damage or accidental removal of waterproofing membranes, from the walls during backfilling or any other subsequent operations.
SwellSeal Multi System bentonite Membrane (SwellSeal MS)
SwellSeal MS is a Branz approved system that integrates premium grade sodium bentonite granules with a Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) made from high-quality polypropylene geotextiles.
SwellSeal MS is commonly used in situations that require protection against contaminated, saline water and areas affected by methane gas.
NeoJoint Gasket System
Neoferma's gasket system seals all types of joints. It is made from EPDM, neoprene or any similar synthetic rubber. NeoJoint is known for its extreme flexibility. It compresses easily and maintains close contact with concrete, glass or wood surfaces. Hence, resulting to the tight sealing of the joints.
NeoJoint contributes to basement waterproofing as it can withstand the hydrostatic pressure of ten metres.
NeoPanel Basement Waterproofing system preserves the structural integrity by offering a self-sealing waterproofing solution that fits challenging environments.
