When House Wall Waterproofing Is Needed

The porous structure of concrete and masonry absorbs soil, surface, and atmospheric moisture and transfers it in all directions. Soil water, sewage water, and even tap water are all chemically aggressive. They wash lime out of concrete, reducing its strength, and cause mold and dampness inside buildings. Moisture is even more dangerous in winter — as it soaks in and freezes, it expands and cracks the stone.

Atmospheric moisture can penetrate through joints, seams, and utility entry points. Groundwater can rise up through walls due to capillary action. For example, in waterlogged soil, moisture will soak into an unprotected foundation and walls up to ground level.

Signs of moisture infiltration:

wet stains on the walls
cracks in the concrete foundation or brickwork
condensation
dampness and mold

For a building owner, this means regular spending on repairs. Wall waterproofing can help prevent unnecessary expenses. It is classified into vertical and horizontal, penetrating, coating, spray-applied, and plaster types. Specialists most often combine several types of waterproofing to protect a structure from moisture infiltration.

How Wall Waterproofing Installation Work Is Carried Out

Horizontal Waterproofing

Horizontal waterproofing of walls is usually carried out during construction, after the foundation has been laid. The main goal is to block moisture at the plinth level. The foundation is covered on top with a roll material or composite bitumen mastic. The plinth and walls are then built or installed.

Horizontal waterproofing of already-built structures is carried out using water-repellent compounds — hydrophobizers. The walls are either injected to block the capillaries, or a horizontal cut (slot) is made and filled with a protective compound.


Vertical Waterproofing

Vertical waterproofing of walls prevents moisture from entering or escaping through the surface. It does not stop capillary rise along the height of the wall.

Walls are waterproofed vertically using:

treatment with penetrating compounds or surface-applied mastics and spray-on liquids
application of roll-based membrane materials
installation of plaster systems based on cement and water-repellent polymers

Important to Remember

Exterior treatment of a brick facade begins with the removal of efflorescence using salt-neutralizing solutions. The facade is then washed with pressurized water and sprayed twice with a water-repellent siloxane or polyurethane solution.

When treating a natural stone facade, the process is limited to washing and impregnation with hydrophobizers.

waterproofing of showers, bathrooms, and pools

cleaning of the interior surface
leveling with plaster mixtures
application of cement-polymer waterproofing compounds, over which finishing tile can be installed

What determines the price of floor slab waterproofing under screed

What other factors influence the choice of wall waterproofing methods, price, and timeline:

purpose of the space or structure
chemical aggressiveness of the water and environment
season in which the work is carried out
urgency and scope of the work
presence and intensity of water pressure
type of material and condition of the walls
cost and application specifics of the consumable materials
complexity of surface preparation, among others

The specialists at Gidropas agree on every item of the technical and commercial proposal (KP) with you and never artificially inflate the cost of work. Our engineer will clearly explain the pricing principles for your project at any time. They will walk you through the relevant standards, methods, and materials, and advise on how to save money without compromising the quality of the waterproofing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What warranty do you provide for completed works?

    The warranty for any type of waterproofing is 2 years. For injection waterproofing and foundation reinforcement, the warranty is up to 5 years.

    Why is injection waterproofing needed?

    Injection waterproofing helps to interrupt capillary flow and reduce the permeability of foundations, walls, and floor slabs. Injections of polyurethane gel (works on concrete), polyurethane resin (works on concrete and precast structures), and silicon-siloxane compounds (work on brickwork and precast structures) prevent moisture from being absorbed into the structural materials and improve the waterproofing properties of buildings.
