Foundation Waterproofing Membrane Materials & Products

The foundation is the backbone of any building. Structural issues, especially those caused by water intrusion, can lead to costly damage. Wet soil beneath a foundation allows moisture to seep into the basement, weakening the concrete over time. Installing a waterproof membrane is the most effective way to prevent water damage and maintain a strong, durable foundation.

At Work at Height Singapore, we offer a range of high-quality foundation waterproofing membrane materials and solutions to ensure long-lasting protection.

Types of Foundation Waterproofing Membrane Materials

1. Cementitious Waterproofing

✅ Best for: Basements, bridges, tunnels, parking lots, and sewage treatment plants
✅ Application: Sprayed or applied by hand
✅ Benefits:

• Simple to mix and apply
• Protects against chemical damage & mechanical impacts
• Ideal for harsh environments

2. Liquid Waterproofing Membrane

✅ Best for: Concrete surfaces requiring a flexible, rubber-like coating
✅ Application: Trowel, spray, or roller
✅ Benefits:

• Cures into a durable, seamless waterproof layer
• More effective than cementitious coatings
• Longevity depends on the specific polymer blend

3. Bitumen Coating Membrane (Asphalt Coating)

✅ Best for: Concrete foundations and retaining walls
✅ Application: Directly applied to surfaces
✅ Benefits:

• Highly flexible and can be modified with polymers
• UV-resistant when combined with polyurethane
• Water-insoluble & quick drying
• Excellent elasticity for long-term performance

4. Polyurethane Liquid Membrane

✅ Best for: Exposed foundations prone to weathering
✅ Application: Requires precise moisture level assessment
✅ Benefits:

• Superior flexibility and waterproofing performance
• More durable than bitumen & cementitious materials
• Highly effective for high-rise buildings & extreme conditions

⚠️ Note: Polyurethane membranes are sensitive to moisture. If applied to a wet surface, they may peel over time. Our experts conduct thorough moisture testing before application.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Waterproof Membrane

1. UV Resistance

• Essential for exposed foundations to prevent degradation.

2. Elasticity

• Adapts to building movements & concrete expansion, preventing cracks.

3. Breathability

• Allows trapped moisture to escape, preventing structural damage.

4. Tear Resistance

• Withstands heavy loads & construction pressure.

5. Chemical Stability

• Resists soil and rainwater contaminants that can weaken the foundation.

6. Abrasion Resistance

• Durable enough to handle site activity without damage.
