SANI-TRED Basement Waterproofing Products

When it comes to maintaining a dry and healthy basement, homeowners face a relentless battle against water infiltration, moisture, mold, and even the silent threat of radon gas. The good news is that there’s a formidable ally in this fight: Sani-Tred basement waterproofing products. Whether you’re looking to protect your entire basement or just repair some cracks and joints, Sani-Tred offers a comprehensive solution that stops water, eliminates moisture problems, and ensures long-lasting protection.

Understanding the Basement Waterproofing Challenge

Basements are often the most neglected spaces in our homes. While they can serve as valuable storage areas or even additional living spaces, they are prone to a range of problems, mainly stemming from water infiltration and moisture.

1. Water Infiltration: Basements are particularly susceptible to water seepage, especially in areas with a high water table or heavy rainfall. Cracks in the foundation, joints, cold joints (specifically where the wall meets the floor) and porous nature of the foundation itself are common entry points for water.

2. Moisture and Humidity: Once water finds its way into your basement, it creates an environment ripe for moisture and humidity. These conditions are not only uncomfortable but can also lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which pose health hazards and can damage your property.
3. Radon Gas: Another hidden threat in basements is radon gas, a radioactive gas that seeps into homes through the ground. It’s odorless, tasteless, and colorless, making it impossible to detect without specialized equipment. Long-term exposure to radon is a known cause of lung cancer, making it crucial to seal your basement against this danger.

The SANI-TRED Advantage

SANI-TRED products offer a revolutionary solution to all these basement woes. Let’s delve into the key benefits of using SANI-TRED to waterproof your basement:

1. Anyone Can Apply It

Anyone can apply the materials whether it be the homeowner, a local handyman, painter or contractor. The application is shown step by step on our web page ‘How To Waterproof A Basement’.

2. Complete Water and Moisture Protection

One of the most impressive features of SANI-TRED is its ability to provide complete protection against water and moisture intrusion. Traditional methods may offer temporary relief, but SANI-TRED creates a permanent barrier that keeps your basement dry, regardless of external conditions.

The secret lies in SANI-TRED’s proprietary PermaFlex coating, which doesn’t merely “stick” to the surface of concrete.  The first coat absorbs/penetrate then cures to become as tough as a tire, impregnated permanently within the concrete. SANI-TRED products also molecularly weld to each other. They don’t just “stick”. This ensures that your basement remains permanently waterproof, preventing water from entering through cracks, joints, or porous surfaces.

3. Mold Prevention

Moisture and humidity are the lifeblood of mold and mildew. By eliminating the main source of moisture and humidity in your basement, SANI-TRED products effectively thwart the growth of mold and the health hazards associated with it. A dry basement is not only more comfortable but also healthier for you and your family.

4. Radon Mitigation

Radon gas is a silent, invisible threat lurking beneath many homes. SANI-TRED’s comprehensive sealing properties extend to radon gas as well. It has been proven to seal out over 99% of all radon gas, ensuring that your basement remains a safe and radon-free environment. This is especially important for homes in radon-prone areas or those with elevated radon levels.

More Reasons to use SANI-TRED Basement Waterproofing Products

1. Permanently Adhering and Flexible Materials

SANI-TRED’s PermaFlex coating is not just any waterproofing material; it’s engineered to stand the test of time. Unlike conventional coatings that can bubble, chip, peel, crack, delaminate, or leak over time, SANI-TRED products maintain their integrity for the life of your structure.

What sets PermaFlex apart is its ability to absorb and penetrate into the concrete, essentially becoming one with it. This results in a level of toughness that rivals a tire embedded within the concrete. The flexibility of PermaFlex ensures that it can withstand the natural movements and shifts in your foundation without compromising its waterproofing capabilities.

2. Versatile Application

SANI-TRED products are incredibly versatile and can be applied to various foundation construction materials, including poured concrete, block, brick, stone, and mortar. Whether you have a traditional concrete foundation or something more unique, SANI-TRED can provide effective waterproofing. PermaFlex can be brushed, rolled or sprayed. It would require more along the lines of a commercial sprayer, likely not something that can be rented or purchased locally.

3. Gradual Basement Completion

Renovating or finishing your basement doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing endeavor. SANI-TRED allows you to waterproof your basement in sections, as needed. This flexibility means you can tackle the project at your own pace and budget, starting with the areas that require immediate attention and expanding as time and resources allow.

4. Crack Repair and Joint Sealing

SANI-TRED products are not just for waterproofing entire basements. They are equally effective for targeted applications like crack repair and sealing joints. This versatility means you can address specific problem areas without having to waterproof the entire basement.

5. Proven Track Record

SANI-TRED has been trusted by homeowners, contractors, and businesses for over three decades. Its effectiveness and durability have been demonstrated in countless applications, earning it a reputation as a reliable and long-lasting waterproofing solution.
