Foundations can also become victims of winter’s watery wiles. Your building’s foundations commonly leak due to poor drainage as outside water can easily penetrate poorly waterproofed floors and walls.
After heavy rain it is common for the soil surrounding your foundation tp also be a leak-causing culprit; eventually causing the walls of your basement or ground floor/story to become overly saturated: an occurrence often expected after a long, rainy winter. By ensuring that your foundations are properly water tight you’ll achieve long term peace of mind for your building.
The best thing about TRITOflex™ when it comes to waterproofing your foundations is that it makes those seemingly tricky or awkward jobs surprisingly simple.
Because TRITOflex™ is dispersed as a spray, it can get into the very hard to reach places both in and out of your home. The liquid rubber spray gets into those pesky nooks and crannies where it dries hard and fast, forming a tight sealant that shields a building’s underground from any traces of moisture.

Basement waterproofing is equally important for a healthy and structurally sound home. TRITOflex™ can waterproof your basement quickly and cost effectively before winter has a chance to seep in and compromise your building.
Damp basements are unfortunately an all too a common problem in New Zealand homes, both new and old. Even some Wellington homes perching half-into hillsides suffer when soaked soil comes in contact with a wall. A house with poor to no basement waterproofing can turn your building into a structural liability! Not to mention, leaky basements and damp walls are just asking for mold and mildew.
When winter hits and heavy rain falls, your basement essentially becomes a dam. Water flows downhill: down a road, driveway or lawn and eventually into your building. As water builds up in the soil around your property it puts immense pressure on basement floors and basement walls.
If this ‘dam’ has weak spots or cracks then moisture has found a way in.
Simply spraying TRITOflex™ along the cracks and pipe penetrations in potential seepage points is enough to prevent problems before they find their way into basements and base levels. This quick application drives down labour and overhead costs. TRITOflex™ provides an excellent non-disruptive installation, which means no interruption to building operations and no loss of business or work time.
