Due to the age of the structure and the condition of the masonry, careful detailing was required at slab to wall interfaces and existing wall penetrations. A surface applied Xypex crystalline system was selected to provide interior waterproofing while maintaining the breathability of the brick substrate.
Tribute Restoration completed the work using trowel applied methods. Approximately 80 bags of Xypex Megamix II were used to restore deteriorated masonry surfaces. Crack repairs and localized defect sealing were completed using Xypex Patch’n Plug, followed by application of Xypex Concentrate to provide crystalline waterproofing protection across the treated wall areas.
Xypex provided method statements outlining correct surface preparation and application procedures for brick substrates and slab-to-wall transitions. The completed system delivered effective negative side waterproofing while preserving the integrity of the historic foundation and extending the service life of the structure without requiring exterior excavation.
