Waterproofing & damp proofing
Waterproofing new buildings
The effectiveness and reliability of waterproofing of buildings can only be guaranteed if the selected waterproofing type shows sufficient resistance to external influences. In Part 1 of the Standard, the most important effects on waterproofing below ground level are classified according to the following characteristics.
- Water impact classes - Water in the shape of capillary water, moisture or ground water can impact on the waterproofing that is in contact with the ground. The highest water level measured, the surface terrain and the type of ground are decisive when defining the water impact class (Wx-E). To determine the permeability of the ground, it is generally necessary to define the water permeability coefficient (K value).
- Crack classes - Cracks or changes to crack widths from the substrate must not cause damage to the waterproofing. To take this reliability criterion into account, the standard defines four different crack classes depending on typical waterproofing surfaces. The sealing material must be selected depending on the crack classes determined for the object. The selected waterproofing material must have the required crack-bridging class.
- Use of space - Dependant on the utilisation of the basement space, the room climate and/or room air present must be taken into consideration. Based on the classification for the use of the space, the waterproofing type and/or the permitted waterproofing material are determined.
Structural waterproofing
High-quality impregnations or crack-bridging coatings to increase the protection of the concrete against the penetration of moisture, CO² and salts that affect the reinforcement.
- Capillary moisture in and below walls
- Structural waterproofing on floor slabs
- Block waterproofing - special solution with optimum protection

External waterproofing
Reliability, fast and easy processes along with short waiting times are the most importanat aspects that a modern waterproofing system has to fulfill. Lots of professionals want to complete the waterproofing work in one day and continue working the next day. Remmers waterproofing systems perfectly meet these requirements.
- Waterproofing below ground level
Base seal
System solutions for permanent protection of the base zone
- Splashwater & ground moisture in the wall base - The adhesive capability of the material is so good that it adheres to all conventional building surfaces, even to bitumen water proofing. This opens up completely new applications. There are hardly any adhesion-relevant restrictions; transition areas in the base can be easily water proofed.
- Cross-interface base seal - product shows optimum adhesion on mineral and bitumen-based surfaces, and can therefore also be applied to bitumen. In this way, transition areas can be waterproofed in line with new normative specifications so that water cannot run behind.
- Waterproofing below the face masonry layer- very easy to process and can be applied both in a grouting or filling procedure; 3-fold pressure resistance; crack-bridging
Waterproofing of old buildings
Targeted system solutions for waterproofing of buildings
Exterior waterproofing
Durable system solutions for each application case
- Restoration of bitumen subsurfaces
- Subsequent waterproofing of mineral subsurfaces
Base waterproofing
Restore the transition areas on the façade securely and permanently
Regardless of whether the base is insulated, rendered or has visible brickwork, it is one of the parts of a building that is subject to the most loads. In addition to rising damp and splashwater, loads can also be mechanical. Especially if the base is damaged or waterproofing is missing, then serious damage can occur.

- Waterproofing of floor depth windows & doors
Basement waterproofing
Proven systems for usable cellars and high-quality housing
If the damaged cellar wall is not freely accessible due to covering or rebuilding work, subsequent interior water proofing is a real alternative. If the product systems are ideally matched, even high-quality housing can be created in this way.
Sealing to prevent rising damp
Cream technology - revolutionary subsequent horizontal impervious layer
Over the past few decades, injection procedures for the subsequent production of horizontal impervious layers in the brickwork have established and proven themselves. These are effective, clean and, in particular, inexpensive procedures. The latest development in this field is the revolutionary cream technology.
Restoration render systems
The right system solution for all saline loads
The main task of the restoration renders is to store salts and ensure a dry and salt-free surface. Our restoration render systems ideally fulfil the criteria.
Injection technology
Pressure waterproofing system solutions without complex excavation work
Very difficult-to-access areas can be waterproofed reliably and permanently using injection technology. It doesn’t matter here whether the cellar is bricked or made of concrete, Remmers always provides a suitable solution.
- Gel injections
- Seal from the inside
Internal Waterproofing
A simple system structure with RockPoint Technology product saves material and time. Whether it is applied by trowel or brush, thanks to its smooth consistency, the new waterproofing product can be applied very simply and evenly on the surface that is to be waterproofed.
The innovative bonding process ensures that the waiting times are short. After just 4 hours, the curing reaction has advanced to the point that applicaton of further treatments is easy.
