When people talk about waterproofing, the focus usually lands on membranes or concrete additives. But here's the truth:
Most failures don't start there.
They start in the hidden details - the joints, waterstops and sealants that quietly hold the system together. Get these wrong, and even the best membranes can't save you.
Every structure moves. Settlement, thermal expansion, load stress - it all creates micro-movements.
If joints aren't designed to flex and stay watertight, water finds a way in.
That's why a good waterproofing system doesn't just block water. It works with the structure's movement.
Premcrete provides a full suite of ancillary products that integrate seamlessly with membranes:
Each one is small in cost, but critical in performance.
Industry data shows most waterproofing failures trace back to overlooked details:
Each oversight can unravel an entire waterproofing package - leading to expensive rework.
Ancillary products = a fraction of upfront spend.
But if they fail?
Cheap shortcuts become very expensive.
We take ancillary products seriously because they make the difference between success and failure.
Our approach:
That way, architects and contractors know every piece works together.
To protect your design:
This is how to prevent the hidden weak points from undermining your design.
Your waterproofing system is only as strong as its weakest joint.
By giving proper attention to sealants, waterstops and movement systems, you safeguard not just the structure - but your reputation. Premcrete ensures every hidden detail is covered.
