Construction Joint Waterproofing

Most basement leaks start at joints. Waterstops are fixed into construction joints, cold joints and pipe penetrations before the concrete is poured, so the joint is sealed from the start.

Where we use it

Typical applications

  • Raft-to-wall joints
  • Wall construction joints and cold joints
  • Pipe and service penetrations
  • Water tank joints
  • Precast element joints
Problems we solve

When to call us

  • Leaking construction joints
  • Cold joints caused by pour delays
  • Water entering around pipes and sleeves
  • Joints that cannot be reached after backfilling
Systems we use

Technical data sheets and certificates are available on request.
