Waterproofing Retaining Walls with ShieldiT International

Retaining walls are exposed to constant pressure exerted by soil and water. If retaining walls do not have good shielding and waterproofing, they will begin to develop visible cracking, dampness, or seepage, and may often develop structural damage with time. This can compromise not only the wall itself, but also basements, foundations, and adjacent areas.

At ShieldiT International, we have provided Retaining Wall Waterproofing with the best systems to realistically live with water intrusion and withstand the pressure retained by water. Our Retaining Wall Waterproofing Systems include advanced membranes, protective coatings and drainage options, and have been designed to:

The Necessity of Waterproofing Retaining Walls

Retaining walls that are properly waterproofed are attractive, functional, durable, and safe. Minor repairs from improper waterproofing installations can be very expensive.

• We have a trusted source for safe, strong, long-term protection with our reliable, durable waterproofing systems. We have a long history of experience and know how to provide seamless waterproofing systems to safe guard walls against movement from soil pressure and water intrusion that is caused by, groundwater and soil pressure.
• Protection Against Structural Damage - Moisture will corrode the re-bar in the wall and will decrease the overall strength of the structure. A waterproof layer (with any additives as prescribed above) will help to keep the re-bar from rusting and stop the deterioration.
• Dampness and Mold Elimination - Water seepage frequently causes damp patches, smells and mold growth on adjacent walls and in basements. A waterproofing treatment will allow the area to ventilate correctly and create a healthier environment.
• Increased Longevity - Retention walls that are properly treatment live longer, don't crack, and ultimately require minimal repairs in the long run.
• Preservation of Aesthetics - No more ugly evidence of water stains, "salts" on the wall (efflorescence), or peeling wall finishes—just clean and well-maintained walls.
