What does waterproofing involve?

Waterproofing is a process that consists of applying a protective layer over a surface to prevent the passage of water. It is essential to protect the structure of buildings, avoid damp, leaks and structural damage. It is commonly applied on roofs, terraces, rooftops, basements and facades.

Liquid Membrane

Continuous waterproofing system applied as a liquid that dries forming a flexible film. Ideal for irregular surfaces and areas with slopes.

Asphalt Sheet

Bituminous material sheets that adhere to the substrate by heat or adhesive. Very resistant and durable, ideal for flat roofs.

Resins and Polyurethanes

High-tech systems, weather-resistant and highly elastic. Widely used in pools, wet rooms and exposed areas.

Waterproofing Construction Process

We explain how we carry out waterproofing from start to final delivery.

1. Substrate Evaluation

We inspect the surface to be waterproofed to detect cracks, fissures, damp and ensure it is clean, dry and firm.

2. Substrate Preparation

Deep cleaning, repair of defects, priming and sealing of joints. It is fundamental for good adhesion of the waterproofing system.

3. Application of the System

We apply the chosen waterproofing system (liquid membrane, sheet, resin) in layers according to the manufacturer's instructions.

4. Quality Control and Finishes

We perform watertightness tests (such as water test) and apply finishing layers if necessary (UV protection, pavement, etc.).

5. Cleaning and Delivery

We perform a final cleaning and deliver the waterproofed and protected surface.
