Control water ingress and protect your structure with Building Chemical Supplies
BCS offers tailored water ingress control and waterproofing solutions for car parks, basements, tunnels, bridges, and commercial structures, ensuring long-lasting protection and structural integrity.
Our waterproofing & water ingress control solutions
With a diverse range of both standard and custom solutions, our expert team applies advanced injection systems, high-performance sealants, and durable waterproof barriers to deliver effective and lasting results. These include:
Epoxy injection
Epoxy injection is ideal for bonding structural cracks, achieving a permanent, high-strength solution that restores the integrity and stability of compromised structures. This approach ensures long-lasting results that prevent further damage, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
Polyurethane (PU) injection
Perfect for flexible sealing in areas affected by water ingress, PU injection expands and cures inside cracks and voids, effectively preventing moisture from entering the structure. This solution is ideal for areas with fluctuating temperatures or moisture levels, offering long-term protection.
Surface sealing and stitching
Surface sealing and stitching are used to strengthen compromised concrete areas, preventing the spread of cracks and reinforcing the overall stability of the structure. These techniques are designed to address more widespread damage and ensure the structure remains secure for years to come.
Crack routing and sealing
This process involves routing out cracks to create a stable base for sealing. It helps prevent further damage by stopping the spread of cracks, reinforcing the affected areas, and providing a smooth, effective seal that protects the concrete from moisture and additional stress.
Causes of water ingress
Water ingress can lead to significant damage if not addressed promptly. Identifying the underlying causes is necessary to prevent further deterioration and reinforce the long-term integrity of your structure. Below are some of the most common factors that contribute to water ingress in buildings.
Poor waterproofing or deterioration
Inadequate waterproofing systems or the natural wear and tear of existing materials can lead to water entering vulnerable areas of a structure. Over time, waterproof barriers can degrade, allowing moisture to penetrate.
Structural cracks and gaps
Cracks and gaps in the foundation or walls provide easy entry points for water. These can develop due to settling, shifting, or general wear, compromising the integrity of the structure.
Hydrostatic pressure
When water accumulates around a structure, it exerts pressure against the walls and foundation. This hydrostatic pressure can force water through cracks or weak spots, leading to water ingress.
Drainage and plumbing issues
Improper drainage or blocked plumbing systems can cause water to back up or pool around the structure. This excess moisture can seep into the building, contributing to water ingress and potential damage.c
