Waterproofing features a polymer-enhanced asphalt membrane that is spray-applied to create a seamless, flexible, and long-lasting waterproof barrier. This advanced membrane spans foundation settling cracks and effectively seals out water penetration, offering superior protection against moisture damage.
Designed for durability and performance, the waterproofing delivers excellent adhesion and hanging strength, even in challenging conditions. It remains flexible in low temperatures, ensuring year-round protection against water intrusion and freeze/thaw cycles.
Since 1983, the makers of Waterproofing have earned a trusted reputation for innovation and reliability in spray-applied waterproofing technology. The system uses a non-flammable, water-based carrier, making it environmentally responsible and safe to apply. Independent laboratory testing confirms that the membrane does not leach harmful substances, ensuring protection that’s as safe as it is effective.

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, damp proofing and waterproofing are fundamentally different.
Damp proofing prevents soil moisture from entering the foundation.
Waterproofing, however, blocks both moisture and liquid water, providing complete protection.
Many homeowners assume their basements are waterproofed when they’ve only been damp proofed. In most cases — especially in Calgary’s typically dry climate — damp proofing is sufficient when paired with proper drainage systems like weeping tiles and good grading.
However, properties facing flat grading, high water tables, or persistent moisture issues benefit greatly from full waterproofing. It’s a more robust, long-term solution that prevents costly foundation repairs and ensures a dry, healthy basement for years to come.
