Sealtite Waterproofing & Caulking
04 — PROCESS

Our Process. From site walk to handover.

Every project runs the same disciplined sequence. Documented, testable, warranted — no shortcuts, no surprises.

SCROLL TO SEE THE PROCESS
Site Assessment
CHAPTER 01
01Chapter

Site Assessment

We walk the site, read the substrate, and check moisture, existing membranes, cracks, falls and penetrations. 

  • Moisture reading
  • Crack mapping
  • Fall verification
  • Penetration audit
Pre-installation inspection
Substrate Preparation
CHAPTER 02
02Chapter

Substrate Preparation

Grinding, patching, screed correction, sheet substrate installation where required. Membranes fail on bad substrates — this is where most contractors cut corners. We don't.

  • Contaminant removal
  • Screed to fall 1:80
  • Crack routing & filling
  • Sheet substrate to spec
Manufacturer prep requirements
Detailing & Priming
CHAPTER 03
03Chapter

Detailing & Priming

Bond breakers, waterstops, cove beads, priming per manufacturer. This is where compliance is won or lost — the details before the main membrane.

  • Bond breaker at all junctions
  • Waterstop at penetrations
  • Correct primer per substrate
  • Reinforcement fabric at details

Membrane Application
CHAPTER 04
04Chapter

Membrane Application

Two coats minimum, cross-applied, to full manufacturer DFT. Wet-film gauge checked on liquid systems, seam-tested on sheet systems.

  • First coat rolled to spec
  • Cure to touch verified
  • Second coat cross-applied
  • DFT confirmed

  • Drains plugged
  • Water level marked
  • 24–72h duration
  • Photo record
