Foundation waterproofing

Accueil » Foundation waterproofing

Although the foundation walls are at least 6 inches thick, they are vulnerable to waterand moisture infiltration. Like the caulking joints aroundthe windows, over time, the concrete of the foundations degrades and cracks. The installation of a sealing and honeycomb membrane is an effective solution to waterproof your foundation in Gatineau.

Deal with a local entrepreneur whose 20 years of experience in waterproofing ensures that your foundation is perfectly sealed.

Humidity in your basement in Gatineau?

Your house was built more than 20 years ago? Your foundation is likely   to havewaterproofingproblems.

New homes are not excluded. Many new constructions have defects that can have a major impact on the waterproofing of your foundation.

In fact, many recent constructions still use poor quality waterproofing products such as tar!

VOPAA Inc. uses two membranes to protect your flooring. An elastomer membrane and a honeycomb membrane.

When you put a membrane on it, you want it to be durable. It is disappointing to have to excavate again 3 years later to redo everything with all the costs that can involve afoundation repair in Gatineau. Unfortunately, we see this kind of situation every year since sometimes people entrust the work to contractors without knowledge of the trade. Want to know more about foundation waterproofing?  

A quality membrane should be required:

  • resistant to high water pressure
  • Elastic
  • Robust

Resistant to high water pressure in Gatineau

A foundation is a low point of the building that attracts rainwater,so it sometimes faces a high hydrostatic pressure. A waterproofing membrane must therefore be sufficiently resistant. Most of them are, because it is an essential element.

Elastic

Elasticity is a crucial point that plays on the durability of a membrane. Elastomer membranes are the most effective. With our winters, the walls of foundations are constantly moving! Their elastic properties can resist the movements of foundation cracks and other movements. Elastomer membranes are therefore preferable to obsolete products such as tar.

Robust

Robustness is another important element as it must withstand the pressure exerted by the embankment. We are not talking about a membrane that resists a nail, but a protection robust enough to withstand rock pressure for example.

VOPAA Inc. uses the Henry-designed Blueskinmembrane which is a highly reputable and innovative company in waterproofingproducts.

In the images below, we see the installation of this one which is done in 5 major steps :

  • Preparing the surface
  • Application of primer
  • Application of the membrane on the joint between the sole and the wall
  • Application of the membrane on the wall including a second layer on the joint
  • Applying a bitumen sealant to the membrane joints

Alveolar membrane

A honeycomb membrane has three functions:

  • Allowing water to flow to the French drain
  • Protect the waterproofing membrane
  • Waterproofing and extra steam

Water flow to the French drain

Thanks to its surface composed of alveoli, it allows water that accidentally seeps in to flow all the way down the wall to the French drain. This creates a kind of gap between the waterproofing membrane and the filling which helps to reduce the hydrostatic pressure exerted on the foundation.

Protecting the waterproofing membrane in Gatineau

The honeycomb membrane also acts as a protection for the waterproof membrane. During the embankment,despite all the precautions taken, it is possible that rocks come into contact with the foundation, which can pierce the Blueskin. The draining membrane prevents damage.

VOPAA Inc. uses the Plato membrane which is more robust than the Delta Ms which is generally used by contractors.

Waterproofing and extra steam

This membrane also has waterproofing and steam properties. This adds additional protection against water and moisture. This will, among other things, extend the lifespan of an elastomer membrane.

Waterproofing is an essential element for a healthy foundation. Entrust the work to VOPAA Inc.,experts in the installation of membranes for more than 20 years in Gatineau!

Questions sur la réparation de fondation à Gatineau

Faut-il quitter les lieux durant les travaux?

Non il n’est pas nécessaire de quitter lors des travaux. Bien qu’il soit possible qu’une tranchée profonde surlonge tout le périmètre de votre maison durant les réparations, nous avons des installations sécuritaires pour que vous puissiez rester à la maison. Des rampes d’accès sont installées afin de permettre au client d’entrer et sortir à leur guise.

Peut-on baisser le taux d’humidité dans un sous-sol en réparant la fondation?

L’imperméabilisation et la pose d’un drain français protègent en effet votre sous-sol de l’humidité. Si la ou une des sources d’humidité  provient d’une faille de votre mur de fondation, la réparer va contribuer à régler le problème.

Les membranes installées par VOPAA inc. ont des propriétés imperméables et pare-vapeur afin de garder un sous-sol bien au sec. Sachez qu’un taux élevé d’humidité contribue à la formation de moisissure qui peut causer des problèmes de santé importants.

 

Vous pouvez toujours vérifier d’autres éléments tels que la plomberie et les fenêtres qui peuvent également représenter la cause d’une forte présence d’humidité dans l’air.
