The Versatility of Cementitious Waterproofing Coatings
Cementitious coatings can be applied to a wide range of structures. However, they’re most often applied to structures that come in contact with moisture daily. This includes swimming pools, tunnels, dams, storage tanks, etc.
Once applied, it will not trap water vapor, which means it won’t blister and degrade as time passes. It’s also resistant to mold and bacteria growth.
Our commercial waterproofing contractors can apply cementitious waterproofing to:
- Basements
- Retaining walls
- Foundations
- Swimming pools
- Water tanks

What materials can cementitious waterproofing be applied to?
Cementitious waterproofing is compatible with concrete, brick, drywall, cement mortar, cement plaster, ceramic tile, stone, gypsum underlayment and more. It can provide an effective waterproofing layer on a wide variety of products and surfaces, though it should not be used over expansion joints.
At Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing, we primarily use cementitious coatings for negative-side waterproofing of foundation walls.
How do cementitious coatings work?
Cementitious waterproofing reacts with the water in the concrete to form crystals that seal off the pores in the surface of the concrete. In this manner, it provides a self-healing membrane, as any water that finds its way into the concrete will cause the cementitious coating to form more crystals and seal off the opening that allowed the water to penetrate.
