Can polyurea be used to rehabilitate my concrete fountain?

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of how polyurea can be used to rehabilitate your fountain, let’s first understand what polyurea is. Polyurea is a type of coating commonly used for industrial purposes. It is made by combining two liquid components using special equipment. Once it is sprayed onto the surface, it creates a durable, waterproof, and flexible membrane.

Now, how does polyurea work in fountain rehabilitation? First, the concrete fountain must be cleaned and prepped. Any existing coatings or cracks should be removed. Then, a primer is applied to ensure proper adhesion of the polyurea coating. Next, the polyurea is sprayed in a seamless layer to encapsulate the fountain. This creates a waterproof barrier that not only prevents water from seeping out but also prevents further damage caused by freeze and thaw cycles.
