SUB-STRUCTURE DAMP PROOFING
Sub-Structure Damp Proofing
Preventative Foundation Barrier Protection Prior to Surface Bed Casting
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the surrounding soil travels upward through porous masonry and concrete footings via capillary action. Left untreated, rising damp causes blistered plaster, ruined floor coverings, unpleasant odours, and compromised brickwork.
supersystems provides high-performance sub-structure damp proofing applied during early-stage construction to stop dampness before it reaches finished ground floors.
Foundation Protection
We apply a robust two-coat cementitious waterproofing system to concrete footings and double-sided brickwork directly prior to the casting of the main surface bed slab.
- Root-Level Defense: Creates a continuous horizontal and vertical moisture barrier beneath the floor slab.
- Sub-Slab Sealing: Shields timber, tile, and screed flooring from ground water moisture.
- Permanent Bond: Nano Polymer cementitious bonding ensures the damp-proof layer integrates directly with the structural brickwork and footing concrete.
Where Sub-Structure Damp Proofing is Essential
- Residential and commercial foundation footings
- Double-sided sub-structure brickwork
- Retaining dwarf walls below surface bed levels
- New residential builds, commercial developments, and structural extensions
