Prevent Water Seepage from your Retaining Wall from MDC Mosaics

How to prevent water seepage through your concrete retaining wall using waterproofing building products.

When water has built up behind your concrete wall and is leaking or seeping through you need a waterproofing building product that is easy to use and will stop the water from getting through. Mapei's Mapelastic Foundation is a waterproofer that is specially designed to withhold the negative head pressure of the water trying to get through from behind.

Mapelastic Foundation waterproofer can be used as a preventative measure when you know that there could be a problem later with drainage. Such as when you are building a garage that will be cut into rock, built below ground level or even at the lower end of sloping ground. All these situations are open to water following the natural flow of the land and your wall stands in the way.

Backed up with a drainage system put in between the rock or dirt and the new concrete wall, Mapelastic Foundation waterproofer will complete your prevention measures and make sure the inside of your garage stays dry.

When you are looking for a waterproofing product to fix up an existing seepage problem, Mapelastic Foundation waterproofer will do the work and will stop the water getting through and pooling on the floor. You will need to do more however to completely fix the problem. The water will still need to go somewhere.

It will either find a new place to break through or it will pool up behind the wall and the pressure will eventually get beyond the capabilities of Mapelastic Foundation. But as part of the solution it will give you time to work on the drainage issue and keep water at bay.
