Elastomeric Waterproof Coating
A rubberized asphalt coating used for exterior concrete or masonry surfaces to protect against water penetration. The coating retains flexibility in various temperatures and works on most surfaces, including concrete, brick, stone, wood and metal.
Geotech Fabric
Fabric used for soil, embankment and roadway stabilization and separation. The fabric is non-degradable and increases the lifespan of roads, trails, paths and driveways.
Hydraulic Cement
A type of cement that Is ideal for fixing leaking foundations. Hydraulic cement expands to seal cracks and gaps around pipes and can be applied under water so the area doesn't need to be dry before application.
Pop-up Emitter
A component of a drainage system that efficiently directs water away from a home's foundation. The drainage system is connected to a downspout and water is diverted through a trench. Once water pressure in the system reaches a certain level, the emitter âpops upâ to disperse water over a large surface area, preventing water damage and erosion.
