Why do we recommend foundation waterproofing?

The foundation is the base of any construction and, at the same time, the first area exposed to soil moisture. Without adequate protection, water penetrates the masonry, causing dampness, mold, aesthetic damage, and even structural problems. That's why foundation waterproofing is not a whim, but a necessity.

At Softambient, we recommend using Liquid Elastic Bitumen and Rubber-Based Waterproofing – BE 89, a professional solution that offers complete and long-lasting protection.

Benefits of foundation waterproofing with BE 89

1. Total water protection

BE 89 creates a continuous, resistant, and impermeable barrier. Soil water does not penetrate the foundation and does not rise to the walls, preventing dampness and damage.

2. High elasticity

Being rubber and bitumen-based, the product remains flexible and resists micro-cracks and natural foundation movements. It does not crack or peel over time.

3. Strong adhesion

It is applied directly to concrete, masonry, or plaster, even on slightly damp surfaces. It creates a uniform and resistant layer in the most vulnerable areas.

4. Long-term durability

The bitumen and rubber formula provides resistance to water, freeze-thaw cycles, and soil chemicals. A single application protects for many years.

5. Easy application

Being a liquid product, it is easily applied with a brush, roller, or by spraying. It adapts perfectly to corners, joints, and hard-to-reach areas.

BE 89 – advanced features

BE 89 is a liquid waterproofing layer, based on bitumen modified with rubber, with an elasticity of 700%. After drying, it forms an impermeable and resistant membrane on the applied surface.

✔ High elasticity and crack-bridging capability
✔ Strong adhesion to dry or slightly damp surfaces
✔ Does not swell or peel over time
✔ Resistant to plant roots – recommended for green gardens and terraces
✔ Compatible with new or old roofs and underground applications
✔ Resistant to weather and external agents

Areas of use

• Foundations, shear walls, and exterior basement walls

• Covering new or old terraces and roofs

• Re-insulation of old bituminous surfaces

• Membranes or repair areas

• Roof gutters

• Insulation of concrete, brick, wood, zinc, cellular concrete surfaces, etc.

• Protection of underground concrete against corrosion

Conclusion

A solid house starts with a well-protected foundation. Waterproofing with BE 89 prevents dampness, protects the walls, and extends the lifespan of the construction. It's a small investment with major long-term effects.
