Waterproofing
TechCrete 2500, CretPro Ultra Plus, CretPro Plus, Includes cleaning the surface off dirt and debris. If there was a coating or sealant used prior this will need to be taken off either by grinding or chemicals depending on the condition of the previous coating. Spraying surface with TechCrete 2500 product, covering the entire surface (it just needs to be a mist, no puddles).
Once this is dry water is used to spray the surface so all the excess TechCrete 2500 is sprayed off.
Once the surface is dry Accelerator is sprayed on the surface. This product has a high calcium ratio, this helps the TechCrete 2500 penetrate into the concrete, the TechCrete 2500 reacts with the calcium in the concrete.
Once the Accelerator is dry or it has been 5 hours it is also sprayed off and left to dry.
Caulking or the L43 grout like substance is used to fill in all the cracks.

CMU (Cinder Block Wall) Waterproofing
This Waterproofing System for Cinder Block Walls helps eliminate alkalinity from the soil and water make stains on the cinder block walls. This product is similar to the TechCrete 2500 process above.
Benefits of TechCrete 2500
Once the surface is treated it is waterproofed, the waterproofing solution could take up to a couple of weeks to fully react with the calcium in the concrete and expand into all the cracks. If there are still leaks after 3 or 4 weeks areas can be retreated to eliminate the leaks.
BridgeDeck:
There is a Waterproofing System for concrete bridges. It is very similar to the TechCrete 2500 above.
Applying Waterproofing System. This includes:
- On a dry concrete surface, spraying the waterproofing product on the concrete surface. After five hours or the concrete surface has dried, use water to wash the excess product off.
- Once the concrete surface is dry, apply the accelerator product. At this point the L43 product can be added to the cracks. Once the surface of the concrete has dried from the accelerator it will need to be washed off with water.
- Once the concrete surface is dry we will spray the waterproofing product over the L43.
- If there is caulking or flashing that needs to be applied this will be done at this time.
