Waterproofing Systems
Water is the silent adversary of every structure. Left unmanaged, moisture intrusion compromises concrete integrity, accelerates steel reinforcement corrosion, degrades interior finishes, and creates unhealthy indoor environments. At Arabian Strengthening & Protection Co., we view waterproofing not as an accessory, but as a fundamental component of structural durability.
We deliver comprehensive waterproofing solutions engineered for the region’s unique environmental challenges—from extreme heat and humidity to aggressive soil conditions. Our systems are selected based on the specific application, exposure conditions, performance requirements, and long-term maintainability.
Waterproofing Applications
Basements & Below-Grade Walls
Below-grade structures face constant hydrostatic pressure and moisture intrusion. Our sheet membranes, liquid-applied systems, and bentonite panels create a continuous groundwater barrier, ensuring dry, structurally sound underground spaces.
Roof Decks & Terraces
Exposed to UV radiation, temperature swings, and standing water, roofs demand durable flexibility. We deploy liquid-applied polyurethane, PVC membranes, built-up roofing, and modified bitumen for seamless protection against weathering, foot traffic, and thermal movement.
Podium Slabs & Parking Decks
These vehicular areas endure dynamic loads, expansion cycles, chemical exposure, and constant wear. Our traffic-bearing membranes, polyurethane systems, and protected sheet membranes deliver robust, slip-resistant waterproofing built for demanding conditions.
Water Tanks & Swimming Pools
Water-containing structures require potable-safe, chemical-resistant systems that maintain adhesion under continuous immersion. We provide cementitious coatings, epoxy systems, polyurea, and tile-backed membranes for impermeable, non-toxic, durable protection.
Wet Areas (Bathrooms, Kitchens)
Water-containing structures require potable-safe, chemical-resistant systems that maintain adhesion under continuous immersion. We provide cementitious coatings, epoxy systems, polyurea, and tile-backed membranes for impermeable, non-toxic, durable protection.
Expansion Joints & Penetrations
Internal wet areas are prone to leaks through grout, penetrations, and floor-wall junctions. Our liquid-applied and sheet membranes create seamless barriers beneath tiled surfaces, preventing moisture migration, mold, and structural damage with rapid installation.
Waterproofing Systems & Technologies
1. Liquid-Applied Membranes
Seamless Protection for Complex Geometries
Liquid-applied membranes are monolithic systems that cure to form a continuous, joint-free barrier. Ideal for complex geometries, detail-intensive areas, and surfaces with numerous penetrations, these systems eliminate the risk of seam failure common in sheet membranes.
- Polyurethane - Excellent elasticity, UV resistance, seamless
- Acrylic - Cost-effective, breathable, easy application
- Cementitious - Rigid, vapor-permeable, excellent adhesion
- Polyurea - Fast-curing, high-strength, chemical-resistant
2. Sheet Membranes
Proven Performance with Consistent Thickness
Pre-manufactured sheet membranes provide consistent thickness, factory-controlled quality, and proven long-term performance. These systems are ideal for large, open areas where rapid coverage and reliable protection are priorities.
- Bituminous (APP/SBS) - Proven durability, torch or self-adhered, excellent adhesion
- PVC - Heat-welded seams, UV resistant, lightweight, flexible
- TPO - Heat-reflective, energy-efficient, chemical resistant
- HDPE - High puncture resistance, chemical resistant, durable
- Self-Adhered - Torch-free, safe for occupied buildings, easy installation
3. Crystalline Waterproofing
Self-Healing Protection Within Concrete
Crystalline waterproofing is a unique technology that uses chemical reactions to form insoluble crystals within concrete pores and capillaries. These crystals permanently seal micro-cracks and pathways, blocking water migration even under hydrostatic pressure.
- Integral Admixture - Added during batching, treats entire concrete volume
- Surface-Applied Coating - Applied to cured concrete, penetrates deeply
4. Injection Grouting
Targeted Solutions for Active Leaks and Cracks
Injection grouting is a minimally invasive technique for sealing active leaks, structural cracks, construction joints, and voids. These systems penetrate deep into the substrate, filling voids and stopping water flow at the source.
- Polyurethane Grout - Expands upon contact with water, flexible, rapid reaction
- Acrylate Grout - Low-viscosity, penetrates fine cracks, water-like consistency
- span class="c-primary" style="font-weight: bold;">Epoxy Injection - Structural bonding, high strength, rigid
5. Drainage & Protection Systems
Complete Water Management for Long-Term Performance
Waterproofing is most effective when paired with proper water management and physical protection. Drainage and protection systems relieve pressure on the waterproofing membrane, prevent damage during backfill, and ensure long-term performance.
- Drainage Boards - Geocomposite panels with flow channels, relieve hydrostatic pressure
- Protection Boards - Rigid or semi-rigid layers, shield membranes from damage
- Slot Drains & French Drains - Surface and subsurface water collection, perimeter drainage
- Root Barriers - Impermeable layers that prevent root penetration
