Methods For Water Proofing Your Home

Waterproofing your home is very important. Water infiltration of any sort can lead to major problems such as mold, insect infestations, rotted wood, damaged masonry, or in extreme cases, even building failures.

The most common causes of water infiltration are poor drainage around your home, clogged splash blocks and underground drains, or even a leaky hose bib. Detecting water leaks can be very tricky but if you take a logical and methodical approach most homeowners should be able to detect their own leaks. Here are some methods to waterproof your home.

Roof and Gutters

Inspect roof for obvious signs of damage or missing pieces. Also make sure your gutters are not bent down in the middle and they flow properly.

Down Spouts and Splash Blocks

Inspect all downspouts to make sure they are attached to the gutters properly and are connected to your house. Also confirm that any elbows, bends, or connections are properly attached and clear of debris. Make sure your splash blocks (the concrete or plastic blocks at the bottom of your downspouts) are in place and sloping away from your house.

Grading and Drainage

All dirt, mulch, grass, side walks, patios or whatever surrounds your house must slope away from the house and continue sloping for at least 8 feet. Make sure all splash blocks and downspouts slope with the grade.

Why use ECOSPR? Features and Benefits of Polyurethane Coatings

ECOSPR Hybrid Polyurethane Elastomer are produced by reacting MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) with a Polyol. 

Polyurethane coatings and linings are more commonly applied over concrete and steel for corrosion protection and abrasion resistance. Polyurethanes are also widespread in construction applications, such as floor coatings, roofing, wood deck and pipeline coatings. This type coating has tremendous advantages over conventional materials for joint fill and caulk applications due to their fast set nature, high elongation and abrasion characteristics. Below are the features and benefits of ECOSPR Hybrid Polyurethane Elastomer.

Adhesion

ECOSPR displays excellent adhesive to many types of substrates including steel, aluminum, concrete and various polymeric surfaces.

Thermal Resistance

ECOSPR retains its elasticity at -40C° to 110C° , enabling them to withstand various climatic conditions.

Abrasion Resistance

Surfaces coated with ECOSPR are exceptionally resistance to abrasion and

strong friction.

Chemical Resistance

ECOSPR is highly resistant to carbonic acids, caustic solutions, aliphatic solutions, aliphatic hydrocarbons and mineral oils.

Sound Insulation

Absorbs vibration generated equipments.

Weather Resistance

Demonstrate good weathering resistance to ozone and UV radiation.

Sealing Cracks

ECOSPR helps to Seal Cracks and prevent the penetration and attack of harsh substance.

Water Vapor and Gas Permeability

Repel liquid, they also offer a high degree of permeability to water vapor, which helps prevent moisture build-up in the substrate.

Resistance to Hydrolysis and Microbial Attack

Effectively resist hydrolysis protect surface against microbial attack and penetration.

Water Resistance

When properly applied, it forms a homogenous, seamless and watertight seal with no stress points.

Tear Propagation Resistance

Demonstrate excellent resistance to tear propagation and mechanical stresses.

Physical Properties of ECOSPR

ECOSPR is a 100% solid elastomeric coating produced from two component system and applied through spraying. These two components are the Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) and Polyol, and it gives a superior thermal properties, extremely high melting point and other physical properties.

Why Eco-SPR over others?
