Building it\u2019s located on the hill\/mountain in <strong>West Vancouver<\/strong> (British Columbia, <strong>Canada<\/strong>) and <strong>ground water <\/strong>circulates under<strong> <\/strong>as the mountain has a lot of this. This was a typical <strong>complex waterproofing concrete foundation restoration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contractor opened a foot on top of soil and find just a tar paint on concrete.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As professional builders know, <strong>tar paint <\/strong>alone isn\u2019t capable to <strong>stop water penetration <\/strong>on <strong>building foundations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the area to <strong>waterproof <\/strong>was positioned in a<strong> <\/strong>difficult location<strong> <\/strong>with <strong>plenty of pipes <\/strong>going out from the side wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a so <strong>complex shape to protect <\/strong>and so <strong>many pipes to waterproof<\/strong>, using the standard <strong>bituminous membrane (rolls)<\/strong> was impossible and time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the reason above, the contractor decided to apply the <strong>waterproofing foundation paste<\/strong> named <strong>Scudo System<\/strong>, an <strong>innovative waterproofing paste easy applicable with trowel <\/strong>also on<strong> complex shapes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scudo System<\/strong> was <strong>ready to use, resistant to punching<\/strong> and its application didn\u2019t need the expensive and time consuming use of <strong>primers or nets. 1 coat only<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The below pictures show the original problem and how the <strong>foundation waterproofing paste <\/strong>was applied on the <strong>side walls<\/strong> to <strong>stop penetrating water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pictures below show the actual situation and the final results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details about this <strong>innovative product <\/strong>, please

tar paint insufficient for foundation waterproofing?<\/strong> As experienced builders know, tar paint alone is not capable of stopping water penetration on concrete foundations, especially in high groundwater areas like West Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> Why was a standard bituminous membrane (rolls) unsuitable for this project?<\/strong> The location was extremely difficult, with many pipes protruding from the side wall. Using standard rolls on such complex shapes would have been nearly impossible and extremely time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> What are the main advantages of using Scudo System?<\/strong> Scudo System is a revolutionary, ready-to-use paste that is easy to apply with a trowel. It is resistant to punching and does not require expensive, time-consuming primers or reinforcement nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> How many coats are needed for a successful application?<\/strong> Unlike traditional methods, Scudo System is highly efficient and requires only <strong>1 coat<\/strong> to protect complex foundation shapes and stop water penetration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The water was coming through concrete at the corners of the steps where it\u2019s meeting the granite side wall.
