The Two most common forms of basement waterproofing are positive side waterproofing and negative side waterproofing.
Positive side waterproofing : With Positive side waterproofing the waterproofing materials is being directly applied to the surface of the structure is being directly exposed to moisture. For example, if we were to waterproof an outdoor deck or driveway this would be a great example of positive side waterproofing.
Negative Side Waterproofing: With Negative side waterproofing the waterproofing is taking place with interior projects on pre existing construction. This is the type of waterproofing that is typically done in basements of homes. During the negative side waterproofing process, the surface that is being waterproofed will not be exposed to moisture.
PolyWall is a great choice for use on poured concrete foundation walls, Concrete Masonry Unit walls and related applications where waterproofing is critical or hydrostatic pressure is present. We use a product that is a self-adhering sheet waterproofing membrane which consists of a strong pliable high density polyethylene facing bonded to a rubberized asphalt waterproofing compound that has been proven over many years of use to be supremely effective waterproofing.
