Midas Auto Service
Active water leak above grade foundation
Problem
Water was leaking through an above grade foundation wall in hard rain at a busy retail location.
The challenges facing us were:
- Busy retail location.
- Previous cementitious parging materials were evident on site however they had not stopped the leaks when rain hit the wall. The loose debris and old cementitious coating had to be removed.
Solution
Kelso Coatings found a permanent solution to significant water leakage problem. Midas can now continue business with a professional image and no concern of water damage.
Process & Highlights
- The surface was prepared for the CN2000® coating.
- The first coat of CN2000B® was applied with a brush and the second coat was applied with a trowel to give a nice looking surface for the subsequent stucco exterior coating.
- After the CN2000® solution was applied and verified for no water penetration, the stucco was applied directly to the CN2000® coating.
