BASE-TECT® - the superior solution for waterproofing concrete basements
BASE-TECT® is a MARKHAM designed and installed system for basement waterproofing – focused on waterproofing the concrete itself.
BASE-TECT® is a systematic approach to basement waterproofing, by waterproofing the concrete itself. Combining the benefits of MARKHAM colloidal silica hydrogel treatments with the advanced technology of delayed-swell gaskets, this is a holistic three-pronged approach bundled into a single readily specifiable package. A membrane is not required, giving the BASE-TECT® system a significant cost benefit.
Years of experience in waterproofing new and existing structures has proven there is a better way. No need to rely on time-consuming, multi-party membrane installations. Rather, waterproof what is already part of the build, the concrete, to ensure a dry result, a long lasting performance and a warranted outcome.
Important: For full performance warranty, BASE-TECT® must be applied by MARKHAM-trained and -authorized applicators, using MARKHAM’s proven quality control system.

How BASE-TECT® works.
The three-part approach effectively waterproofs the concrete itself by the combination of admixture and spray-applied treatment. Joints and penetrations are sealed by means of the waterstop. This combination guarantees permanent waterproofing for the basement, without the need of a membrane. All system components are supplied, installed, quality controlled and managed by MARKHAM. You can be sure of a quality result that is managed by one provider, one party to work with, one result.
