We Use Firestone RubberGard™

The great benefit of our product EPDM rubber membrane which we at waterproof lab stand by and can guarantee we will resolve your leak with our specialized product, as there are not many people out there that aren’t educated in terms of what our EPDM has to offer compared to just any DIY product on the shelf, which is unfortunate as the life spend can never come close to what EPDM. One of the key features of the EPDM rubber membrane (in general) is its high elasticity, which allows it to accommodate excessive stretching and building movements especially withstanding construction joints with no hassle guaranteed our membrane can be laid directly over expansions joints without affecting or causing and future leaks due to the movement of some buildings. Another very important and beneficial key advantages of EPDM membrane is that its only 1.14mm thin as scary as that may seem the strength of the membrane can withstand and accommodate around 400% of flexibility without sustaining any damage.
In addition to its exceptional flexibility, EPDM rubber concrete foundation waterproofing systems are designed to allow the substrate underneath it to breathe. This means these products are vapor permeable, allowing any existing moisture or dampness to escape while maintaining their ability to remain fully waterproof against the elements that may cause any amount of rain to seep under causing further damage to our clients property, Once we completed the scope of waterproofing we take the extra step to conduct a flood test in order to make sure the problem the client put all trust in us th repair has been attended to before we allocate the next team to conduct the next trade( screeding, painting , tiling ect)
EPDM membranes are versatile enough to be laid over different materials, such as asphalt, cement, or other materials. However, to ensure its longevity and protection, a sheet of ‘Bidem’ should be laid first to shield it from the original material.
Another great benefit of an EPDM rubber membrane is its fire resistance. The Firestone RubberGard™ EPDM product is an excellent example of an EPDM membrane that can withstand high temperatures without losing its integrity.
Firestone RubberGard™ EPDM rubber membrane is one of the most environmentally friendly waterproofing products on the market. It is recyclable and uses fewer volatiles in its manufacturing process than most other products, coupled with its very low usage of global resources. So, if you’re looking for a reliable and sustainable product for your concrete foundation or basement’s that will allow you to sit back and have peace of mind and not worry about unforeseen leaks or maintenance once or twice a year, We at Waterproof lab have the perfect solution for all the problems of leaks, wich shouldn’t even be a stress or worry because we stand by our product and guarantee EPDM rubber membrane might be the perfect solution to allow you that time to sit back and relax stress free.
