Structural Concrete
Structural Concrete Protection Made Simple
Modern infrastructure demands concrete structures that are durable, resilient, and long-lasting. From parking garages to bridges, protecting structural concrete from water, chemicals, and environmental wear is essential to extending service life and reducing costly repairs.
That’s where Basecrete comes in. Fast-curing, cost-effective, and incredibly tough, Basecrete is the waterproofing and protective solution built for today’s critical concrete structures.
Parking Garage Waterproofing
Parking garages face constant exposure to water, salt, oil, and freeze-thaw cycles that accelerate concrete deterioration. Basecrete forms a strong, waterproof barrier that seals pores and joints, stopping water infiltration and chloride intrusion before corrosion starts. Water-washable color can be added during resurfacing, eliminating the need for painting afterward—keeping maintenance simple and efficient. Traffic, including trucks and heavier vehicles, can safely resume within 24 hours of application.
Bridge Deck Protection
Bridge decks endure heavy traffic loads, weather extremes, and de-icing chemicals that can cause cracks and spalling. Basecrete creates a flexible, crack-bridging membrane that protects concrete decks from water penetration and chloride damage. Its fast cure time and robust bonding make it ideal for minimizing downtime and preserving bridge lifespan under harsh conditions.
Structural Columns & Beams
Concrete columns and beams are critical load-bearing elements that require reliable protection against moisture and corrosive agents. Basecrete’s waterproofing layer guards against water ingress and carbonation, reinforcing the concrete surface while maintaining breathability. This durable coating reduces the risk of concrete degradation and steel reinforcement corrosion, ensuring structural stability.

When you want to repair a crack, solidify a corner or strengthen an area, the combination of BASECRETE and our unique fiberglass mesh is the perfect solution. Our reinforcing 4.5 oz standard fiberglass mesh is made of multi-strand interwoven glass fibers.
Basecrete Xtreme is a high-performance waterproof bondcoat system ideal for ICF/EPS and CMU block applications, where it forms a durable barrier against water intrusion. Designed to simplify installation, it eliminates the need for mesh. Supplied as a kit (one bucket of Basecrete Original and 3 Xtreme bags), it delivers reliable protection with a crack-resistant finish.
Basecrete Original is a waterproof bondcoat system for use in all applications where a solid and durable waterproof barrier is required. It’s applied as a kit consisting of one bucket and 3 bags.
Basecrete Intercept is a highly penetrating, highly viscous concrete densifier, to be used as the Pool, Shell, Primary, Waterproofing. It bonds with the free Calcium and Lime within the concrete, transforming itself into a dense waterproof barrier.
SEAL is a Polyurethane Waterproof Sealant that is paintable, fast-curing, single-component adhesive/sealant for industrial and construction applications.
