When waterproofing below-ground structures, there are situations when applying waterproofing membrane or waterproofing paint is impossible or very inconvenient. In this case, the use of negative side waterproofing membrane is next line of action.

On the other hand, it's quite tricky to choose the right waterproofing membrane for such areas. First, you have to consider a lot of factors, such as, negative side pressure, porosity of the concrete, repairs needed, and the material of the waterproofing membrane.

For example, the use of waterproofing paint is not recommended when waterproofing basements. Waterproofing membranes made of paint tends to suffer from blistering because they cannot withstand the hydrostatic pressure. In short, flexible-type waterproofing membranes are not recommended for such situations.

Another important thing to consider when waterproofing below-ground structures is the damages it has suffered. Repairing these damages is a tricky one. Since the waterproofing membrane relies on the soundness of the substrate, even the tiniest problem could ruin the entire waterproofing system.

So, how exactly can you waterproof below-ground structures like basements, cistern tanks, and swimming pools.

In many cases in the Philippines, the most cost-effective waterproofing method involves applying a waterproofing membrane on the interior side of the wall. Negative side waterproofing prevents water from entering occupied space.

Hydrostatic pressure is a major concern, as hydrostatic pressure will tend to push negative side products away from the substrate. Surface preparation is absolutely essential to ensure that the waterproofing layer adheres firmly to the substrate.

While a variety of products are marketed for negative side applications, some of the most effective waterproofing product have a crystalline capillary system.

CRYSTOR is a crystalline capillary waterproofing system that creates a rigid, impervious barrier on the negative side of the structure. It is recommended for below-ground structures, such as basements, cistern tanks, and swimming pools.
