Applied Technologies manufacturers a premium polymer-modified asphalt foundation waterproofing product for any budget.  Homeowners can rest assured that when their new home's foundation is coated with Applied Technologies' waterproofing, they will have a dry basement to convert to any use they desire.

Every new foundation needs to be waterproofed.  Spray application of seamless waterproofing on the exterior of a foundation turns the interior into a dry basement.  Now the basement living area stays dry and free of water.  Without foundation waterproofing, water can seep through a foundation wall or through a crack in the foundation.

According to the testing and approval criteria of the ICC-ES for foundation waterproofing, it must do three things:

• Span a crack in a foundation
• Withstand water under hydrostatic pressure
• Stop water vapor from entering a basement

For decades foundations were only dampproofed, which only stops water vapor. Water under hydrostatic pressure can still push its way though a dampproofed foundation. Also, dampproofing is brittle and cannot bridge cracks in a foundation.

Many people call this "waterproofing", but it is not.

To stop water from entering a foundation, waterproofing needs to be seamless, stretch over cracks and withstand water under hydrostatic pressure caused by heavy rains.   Spray applied polymer-modified asphalt exterior foundation waterproofing stops water on the outside, before it can get into a basement. 

J-Cote Waterproofing Membrane, J-Cote Waterproofing System, Hydra-Guard Waterproofing Membrane, and the Hydra-Guard Waterproofing System are ICC-ES evaluated foundation waterproofing materials that meet these criteria.

On the left:  Dampproofing is unable to bridge over cracks that develop in the foundation, letting water into the basement.

On the right: Applied Technologies foundation waterproofing membranes have rubber polymers that allow the waterproofing to span cracks in a foundation, thus preventing water from entering a basement.
