Waterproof your cellar, basement or footings
AQUA-STOP is excellent for waterproofing basements, cellars, footings etc made of brick, stone, mortar, concrete or any other masonry products that are sound and absorbent. It can even waterproof ponds.
AQUA-STOP has been used successfully in cellars, basements and footings below ground to prevent water penetration through the wall.
AQUA-STOP is easy to use and apply! It’s applied by brush as slurry on to the pre-wetted masonry surface. Once applied, the product should not be allowed to fully dry out for 3 days, to allow the ‘crystalisation’ process to take place.
