Water sealing is another service that Geobear provides, utilising versatile and effective processes that will save you a lot of hassle down the line. Water ingress can do major damage to a home or business and can enormously disrupt construction work that’s being carried out.

Water ingress is when water makes its way into buildings. It can come in various different forms, as water can enter the building in different ways. For example, it is common for water to get in via the basement, but it can also enter through the roof or the walls of a building if the building materials have become damaged or deteriorated. It goes without saying that water ingress means big problems for the building and its inhabitants.

The process we use follows the core principles behind our resin injection methodology. The materials we use are closed cell and impermeable, meaning the injection and subsequent expansion of the materials forms a sealed barrier against any liquids.

We use our water sealing techniques on work sites where a barrier needs to be created to facilitate construction or where structures are already below the water line and the integrity is compromised by water migration. For example, basements are a common area which often require water sealing to prevent damage or mould. Certain soils are more susceptible to water flow damage – if you’ve got sand or gravel then preventative water sealing is even more crucial.
