Revolutionising Basement Tanking with Penetron Australia

Eliminating Traditional Waterproofing Membranes

Basement tanking is essential for protecting below-ground structures from water ingress. Basements are vulnerable to moisture with ineffective waterproofing, which can compromise structural integrity and lead to costly repairs. The goal of tanking a basement is to completely seal it off from water, ensuring long-term durability and functionality.

Our basement tanking services eliminate the need for traditional waterproofing membranes. Instead, we use a combination of advanced admixtures, water stops, and targeted cementitious membranes to provide a faster, more reliable, and cost-effective solution. Our approach reduces construction timelines and addresses common issues like crack-related water migration, offering a durable solution for various easements.

With Penetron, tanking a basement becomes a streamlined process that saves time, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures your structure’s highest level of protection.

Penetron’s Advanced Basement Tanking Solutions

Achieving Long-Term Durability

We offer a modern approach to basement tanking designed to overcome the limitations of traditional waterproofing methods. By integrating advanced technologies and materials, we ensure basements are completely sealed off from water ingress while streamlining the construction process.

Admixtures for Integral Waterproofing

Our waterproofing admixtures are mixed directly into the concrete during batching, creating a permanent barrier against water. These admixtures block the capillary systems within the concrete, preventing water from migrating even if cracks occur. This integral protection eliminates the need for external membranes and ensures long-term durability.

Penetron water stops are strategically placed at construction and expansion joints to provide an additional layer of defence against water ingress. They ensure critical areas remain watertight, enhancing the tanking system’s effectiveness.
Our cementitious membranes add a durable, seamless layer of protection in areas with elevated water exposure, such as lift pits and retaining walls. These membranes are easy to apply and highly effective, whether sprayed, painted, or rolled on.
By combining these innovative solutions, Penetron significantly reduces construction time and eliminates weather-dependent delays associated with traditional membranes. Our approach also minimises the risk of future water-related damage, offering a faster, more cost-effective, and durable solution for basement tanking.

Benefits of Tanking Your Basement With Penetron

Innovative Waterproofing for Below-Ground Structures

Our innovative approach to basement tanking delivers reliable and efficient solutions for waterproofing below-ground structures. By addressing the limitations of traditional methods, such as weather-dependent membrane applications and long construction timelines, Penetron ensures that basements are completely sealed off from water ingress. Our advanced technologies, including integral admixtures, waterstops, and cementitious membranes, provide robust, permanent protection that enhances the overall durability of the structure while saving time and costs during construction.

Faster Construction Timelines

Traditional membrane applications can take up to 10 days and are often delayed by weather conditions. Penetron’s admixtures and integral waterproofing methods eliminate these delays, allowing for a more efficient construction process.
Concrete is prone to cracking, and traditional membranes with perforations often lead to ongoing water migration and repeated repairs. Penetron’s admixtures block all capillary systems, ensuring that water cannot travel to other weak points once a crack is repaired. This significantly reduces remediation and maintenance costs.
Penetron’s solutions become integral to the concrete structure, providing permanent waterproofing protection. This durability makes it the best option for long-term reliability, even in high-risk areas like lift pits, basements, and retaining walls.

Our tanking solutions can be applied to a wide range of basement types, including residential basements, commercial facilities, and below-ground parking structures. This adaptability ensures consistent, effective waterproofing for any project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you eliminate the need for traditional membranes?

Penetron uses integral waterproofing technologies like admixtures, which are added directly to the concrete during batching. These admixtures block capillary systems within the concrete, removing the need for weather-dependent external membranes that are prone to perforations.
Yes, Penetron admixtures block all capillary systems, preventing water migration even if cracks occur. Once repaired, water cannot find other weak points, eliminating ongoing issues and reducing remediation costs.
Penetron’s solutions are suitable for various applications, including residential basements, commercial basements, industrial facilities, below-ground parking structures, and lift pits.
Penetron’s waterproofing admixtures are mixed into the concrete during batching, eliminating the need for membrane installation, which can take up to 10 days and is often delayed by weather. This significantly reduces construction timelines.
Yes, Penetron’s products are non-toxic and VOC-free, making them safe for use in a wide range of environments, including projects involving potable water.
While Penetron’s solutions are most efficient when integrated during construction, they can also be used in certain retrofit applications. Contact Penetron for guidance on applying solutions to existing basements.
