How to spot rising damp in concrete floors

Pay special attention to areas with hazardous liquids or large water volumes, such as bunded areas and plant rooms. Leaks from tanks or pipes in these areas could have significant consequences, potentially causing flooding and water penetration issues. Always ensure you have effective containment barriers for any liquid or hazardous material to prevent and contain leaks or spills.
Our Bund Sealer seals and waterproofs concrete bund areas, pipes, metal structures and tanks. Our Plant Room Coating offers thick and flexible waterproof protection for plant room floors. Just one coat seals and waterproofs and effectively contains leaks and spills.
