Re: Use of a 'salt' to fill pores in Concrete basement
|
Text of the message: |
The product we are talking about are called "crystallisation" products in the trade. Many brands are available: Xypex, Radcon, Vandex, to name a few. Google "crystallisation waterproofing", a lot will be found. The theory is that those chemicals, when properly applied on concrete, generates the creation of crystalllised salts within the concrete porosity by reacting with the concrete alcaline content, thus making it waterproof. It works, but only to some extend: You got a waterproof concrete as long as there is concrete. A serious crack, no concrete, it leaks again. Then, you are left only with the injection solution. Good to think about if Lyle solution (Excavating and waterproofing) is a *REAL* mess. If you go to Lyle solution, choose a preformed sheet membrane, modifed bitumen or synthetic, instead of a liquid applied stuff, and take great care of the drainage/protection layer, corrugated HPDE sheets being the best. |
