Watchdog Waterproofing Versus Air Gap and Tar Damp-proofing

Watchdog Waterproofing is offered at a lower cost than air gap, peal and stick or torch on and yet it has better performance and warranty!

WATCHDOG WATERPROOFING
AIR GAP PRODUCTS
TAR DAMP-PROOFING
CCMC-approved as waterproofing for all soil types CCMC-approved only as dampproofing and drainage layer CCMC-approved only as damp proofing
Spray-applied for seamless water protection Rolls or sheets create seams that are vulnerable to moisture penetration Breaks down and is vulnerable to moisture penetration. Is often damaged during backfilling
Excellent adhesion and flexibility to endure freeze/thaw cycles May pull away or tear down during freeze/thaw cycles Does not hold up against freeze/thaw cycles
Spans foundation shrinkage cracks to seal out water Gaps leave foundation cracks exposed to moisture that penetrates product Does not span cracks, cracks along with concrete
10-year transferable warranty Air gap typically offers product-only warranty Typically, tar damp-proofing offers an insufficient warranty

While the initial cost of spray-applied waterproofing may be greater than tar damp-proofing, the benefits far outweigh the minimal cost difference.

Tar damp-proofing is typically sprayed only 6 - 12 mil thick, about the thickness of a business card. The backfill process can damage coatings and compromise their effectiveness before the project is even completed.

Over time, sprayed tar becomes brittle and cracks along with the concrete as it shrinks and expands. Tar leaches into the perimeter drains and surrounding soil, and contributes to the pollution of your waterways.

Long-Lasting Foundation Waterproofing

Watchdog Waterproofing can be built easily to up to 60 mil wet, with exceptional hang strength. Watchdog is tough and stands up to the backfilling process. When the concrete foundation cracks, the membrane's flexible strength allows it to span the gap and maintain it's protection against water infiltration.

Watchdog is a sprayed, polymer-enhanced asphalt membrane and does not break down and leach into the soil.

Ultimately, Watchdog Waterproofing outperforms damp-proofing and comes with a ten year performance warranty! Although tar dampproofing is accepted by code, it does not provide a sufficient level of protection in our climate.

We would know, we have made a successful business out of fixing foundations which were once damp-proofed - but ended up leaking. Protect your clients with a true waterproofing membrane now, and it will save money, time and headaches in the future! Call us today for more information or to schedule us for your next project!
