Traditional BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Solutions​

Over the past 20 years, polyurea has become the No. 1 choice in resolving many issues in the coating industry. Its fast cure time, excellent adhesion, abrasion and corrosion resistance, strong, durable finish, and waterproofing capabilities make polyurea the ultimate basement waterproofing tool.

Waterproofing is the only way to stop water and vapors from entering the foundation walls permanently.

Polyurea forms a water-resistant, seamless monolithic coating for waterproofing slabs, wooden decks, roofs, and other surfaces to prevent leaks, rust, corrosion, and water damage. Seamless is the key consideration, unlike engineered systems available today that are sheets that must be joined at seams and corners. Polyurea is a one-piece sprayed on the membrane that works by sealing off the concrete walls. Its ability to stretch with the concrete foundation during heat and cold cycles and remain waterproof sets it apart. It will not age and crack as tar and roofing products do. Polyurea is the perfect basement leak repair.

The kind of walls you have in your basement will determine how and why it leaks. The following three walls are the most common types you see on homes in the United States.

JUST HOW GOOD IS OUR PRODUCT?

When it comes to chemistry, not all polyurea products are created equal. ArmorThane takes its products very seriously. ArmorThane has been the best polyurea distributor for over thirty five years.

With a dedicated full-time Research & Development team, ArmorThane delivers the toughest spray-on polyurea material available in the industry. ArmorThane has doubled the hardness rating compared to competitors, offering superior impact resistance and tensile strength, resulting in outstanding abrasion resistance. Because the material is sprayed, there is a total encapsulation or complete seal, making the coating watertight.

How do I prevent my basement from getting wet?

Basement flooding is a common problem, but one that can be prevented with the right materials and precautions. Polyurea is a waterproofing material that can be used to protect your basement from moisture. It forms an impermeable barrier between the concrete walls and floor of your basement and the outside environment, blocking water infiltration. Polyurea is a unique type of waterproofing material because it bonds tightly with concrete, forming a strong barrier against water penetration. It is also very flexible, meaning it can stretch over cracks and other imperfections in your basement's walls, sealing them off from moisture intrusion. This flexibility also allows polyurea to move with temperature changes so it doesn't crack or break away from the surface like some sealants do. The durability of polyurea makes it an ideal choice for long-term protection against water intrusion in basements. To apply polyurea to your basement, you'll need to first prepare the area by cleaning and repairing any existing cracks or other imperfections. After this is done, you'll mix the polyurea components together according to manufacturer directions and apply them directly onto the concrete surfaces in thin layers using a roller or brush. Make sure all areas are completely covered before allowing it to dry thoroughly overnight; this will ensure maximum adhesion between the material and concrete surfaces. Once dry, you'll use caulk or tape around any edges or joints that are not covered fully by the polyurea for additional protection against water infiltration.

What makes polyurea the best basement waterproofing solution?

Polyurea is widely regarded as the best basement waterproofing solution on the market, and for good reason. It offers a number of distinct advantages over traditional methods such as epoxy coatings or concrete sealers. Polyurea provides superior protection from water infiltration, while also providing unparalleled durability and strength to ensure that your basement remains dry and safe. One of the main benefits of polyurea is its fast application time. Traditional methods can take days or even weeks to properly apply, but with polyurea a single technician can typically complete an entire basement waterproofing job in under one day. This makes it a great option for those who want to make sure their basements are protected without having to wait around for lengthy periods of time. Another major advantage of polyurea is its flexibility. Unlike some rigid materials, polyurea can be applied in multiple layers and forms, allowing you to create a customized solution that’s tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you need extra protection against humidity or require a method that will protect against extreme temperatures, polyurea can provide added peace of mind that your basement is safeguarded no matter what mother nature throws at it. In addition to its versatile applications, polyurea also boasts superior durability and strength – something traditional solutions simply cannot match up to. This makes it especially ideal for basements located in regions prone to flooding or other harsh weather conditions as it won’t crack or chip under pressure like other materials might. What’s more, because it doesn’t require any maintenance once applied, you won’t have to worry about regular upkeep like you would with other options like epoxy coatings or concrete sealers. Finally, when compared against other alternatives available today, polyureA typically costs much less than most other options – making it an affordable solution for homeowners looking for effective waterproofing solutions without breaking the bank in the process. With its unbeatable combination of speed of application, flexibility of use, superior durability and low cost – there's no better option than polyureA when it comes to protecting your basement from water infiltration and ensuring lasting structural integrity over time.

Should I Hire An Applicator Or Become An Applicator Myself?

When it comes to waterproofing your basement, you must consider all available options and decide which one is best for your situation. If you have the time and resources to become a polyurea applicator yourself, then this may be the right choice for you. However, if you don't feel confident enough to do so or simply don't have the time or energy for it, then hiring someone to apply polyurea might be the better option. When deciding whether or not you should hire someone to apply polyurea for basement waterproofing, there are several things to think about. First of all, it's important to understand what type of protection it provides and why it's so effective at preventing water damage in basement areas. Polyurea coatings are made up of two different parts: a resin base and an active agent known as a catalyst. When these two components are mixed together under pressure and heat using specialized equipment, they form into an extremely thin yet highly resistant membrane that adheres tightly to any surface such as concrete walls and floors. This membrane prevents water from entering the area by creating an airtight seal that won't allow any moisture in or out regardless of how much rain or melted snow accumulates outside your home. Another factor to consider when deciding whether or not you should hire someone for this job is cost. The actual cost of having polyurea applied depends on several factors such as how large your basement area is and what type of materials need to be used during installation (e.g., primer, tape etc.). Generally speaking, however, professional application will usually set you back anywhere between $1-$2 per square foot depending on labor costs in your area. With that being said, if you’re looking for an economical way out - getting certified as a polyurea applicator yourself isn't impossible either - given the fact that all necessary training costs will only come up once instead of every single time when application needs to be done again (which in turn makes it cheaper). On top of this financial aspect - when hiring someone else - another thing worth taking into consideration is trustworthiness since there are plenty of experts out there who claim to know what they’re doing but lack proper certification/training/experience/references necessary for successful execution of this particular job - which means that if selecting them would end up with poor quality workmanship ultimately resulting in more harm than good (i.e., bigger bills down the line due either due shoddy work itself or additional repair costs needed because initial fix didn't hold long-term). Whether you choose hire someone else or become certified applicator yourself – always make sure precautions taken are adequate enough so no unnecessary risk ever taken; also keep finances in mind since money saved today can still end costing more tomorrow if right professionals aren’t hired; finally – make sure those handling this task possess sufficient knowledge & experience required so best possible outcome achieved without any further risks involved .
