Exterior Waterproofing [Mel-Drain System]:
- In some types of applications we look at a higher grade system that does a great job but is more expensive
- In some new walls and special conditions we will utility the Mel-Roll / Mel-Drain System
- In this process we prime the wall with a bonding adhesive
- Apply mastic to all corners and install first preliminary strips to help with all inside corners so no leaks in the future
- Then we cut to fit and apply Mel-Rol water proofing along the whole surface
- We apply mastic to seal all end seams
- A drainage field that allow water to drain along the outside of the surface and protect the Mel-Rol during the backfill process
- When the system is ready for backfill, this application allows water to drain outside the wall, have a filter to keep clean, and 100% seals the exterior side of the wall from all water.
- Typically a drain-tile system is coupled with this system to remove water from the area if a drain area presents itself available.
