Waterproofing Membranes
Our waterproofing membranes provide durable protection against water intrusion for both commercial and residential structures. These advanced systems combine elastomeric flexibility with chemical resistance to create impermeable barriers that withstand hydrostatic pressure and environmental stress. Ideal for foundation walls, parking garages, and plaza decks, our membranes maintain integrity through freeze-thaw cycles while offering LEED-certification pathways.
Drainage Systems
Mar-flex drainage systems manage subsurface water effectively through innovative board and tile configurations. Our Geo-Mat and ArmorDrain products feature high-compressive strength cores that channel water away from foundations while maintaining vapor permeability. These systems reduce hydrostatic pressure and prevent water accumulation in both residential basements and large-scale commercial projects.
Air Barrier Solutions
Our ArmorAir Barrier systems control air leakage while allowing vapor diffusion through building envelopes. The 1200p membrane creates continuous protection against moisture infiltration without trapping humidity, preventing mold growth and structural degradation. These systems improve energy efficiency and meet modern building code requirements for air barrier performance.
Concrete Repair Kits
DIY and professional concrete repair kits address foundation cracks with epoxy and urethane injection systems. Our comprehensive solutions include surface sealants, injection ports, and crack-filling materials that restore structural integrity. The patented process ensures lasting repairs for both minor hairline fractures and significant structural cracks in residential and commercial foundations.
PPE Equipment
Personal protective equipment programs ensure safe handling of waterproofing materials. Our safety solutions include chemical-resistant coveralls, gloves, and respiratory protection designed for both solvent-based and water-based product applications. This equipment meets OSHA standards while maintaining comfort during extended use in construction environments.

I had some troubles with the basement crack repair kit but while writing my review the foam expanded filling in all the cracks and I expect it will do the job. So, happy but with a couple of constructive comments. First, hold the tip on with one hand while you squeeze the plunger as it doesn't stay on. Second, note the plunger is empty when it is only half way down the tube. Third, make sure to put plenty of the covering material at the bottom of your crack so all the goop doesn't flow out the bottom.
If you seal the bottom of the crack first, replace the tube when it gets hard even if it seems you should have more to go, and hold on to the tip while you squeeze, you'll be fine. Great idea, great kit, good price, but they really should fix that tip.
