Problem
The homeowner in Commack, NY turned to Zavza Seal with a damaged utility room which posed a significant risk to the safety and integrity of the home. The concrete in the room was severely damaged and foreign materials had compromised the structure. Furthermore, the wall/floor joint required reinforcement and waterproofing to prevent potential water damage.
Solution
In a case like this, where the concrete was compromised and the wall/floor joint exposed to moisture, we took a layered, high-strength approach. Our goal was to stabilize the substrate, reinforce the joint, and apply waterproofing systems that would hold up under real-world conditions.
We used a combination of surface prep, structural reinforcement, and flexible waterproofing techniques to ensure long-term durability. Every step was chosen to maximize adhesion, prevent future cracking, and protect against water intrusion.
Subject Area: Utility Room – from Northwest Corner 7 linear feet Eastward (3 feet high)
We began by scarifying and grinding the subject area to remove all damaged and foreign materials, exposing the bare concrete. At the wall/floor joint, we installed a 4.5oz reinforced fibermesh, which was sandwiched by 2 layers of 7,000 PSI waterproofing cement, extending 3 inches to the wall and 3 inches to the floor. We then applied two coats of polymer-modified waterproofing cement to complete the job.
Note: The structural repair and waterproofing measures were performed meticulously to ensure the utility room can now stand up to the demands of everyday use, without the risk of further damage or water intrusion.
