THE BETTER WAY WHEN DIGGING ISN’T AN OPTION

Everyone knows the best way to waterproof a basement is to excavate around the wall, apply BG2000 and bury it. When that solution is just not attainable and a work around is needed, 2 coats of Vapor Shield, and a specially formulated white version of BG2000 can be applied to the interior walls. This will give a resilient paintable surface that prevents efflorescence and withstands water and vapor upwards of 20psi.

Tensile Bond Adhesion to Concrete Tensile Strength

Method: ASTM C-297          Result: 335 psi (coh/adh)

Tensile Strength

Method: ASTM D-412          Result: 399 psi

Elongation

Method: ASTM D-412          Result: 319.3%

Hydrostatic Head

Method: 12” Water/Film @ 40mil          Result: Pass 96 Hrs/no effect

Hydrostatic Pressure

Method: ASTM C-1306          Result: Pass >45 psi*

*The test procedure only calls for taking the pressure to 45 psi but after passing so easily, test was taken up to 80 psi for 3 hours and surface still did not leak.

Q: Is The Interior Damp Proofing System the same as standard below grade waterproofing?

A: The Interior Damp Proofing System is a unique system that attempts to tackle the same issues below grade waterproofing systems solve with less of a cost burden.


Q: Can I apply this system to wood framing?

A: No. Wood Framing will mold when water saturates it from the back side. You must remove all framing prior to applying the system to the bare basement wall.


Q: Can This be painted?

A: Yes, BG2000 (White) is an acrylic product. Any acrylic paint will adhere to it. 


Q: How do you bridge expansion joints and wall/floor 90º joints?

A: We recommend embedding a material called Polyester Stitch Bond Fabric into the first coat of BG2000 to act as a reinforcement material for high movement areas. It is an inexpensive way to ensure security and rigidity in areas that may be subject to extreme movement over time.
