An essential part of our basement waterproofing system is the Platon foundation wrap offered by Armtec.

Whenever we waterproof a foundation we always consider how well the techniques and products used will hold up against the big winter melts and heavy rains we all deal with here in Niagara.

Platon Foundation Wrap is a high density Polyethylene (HDPE) membrane that’s specifically designed to keep wet soil away from the exterior of your homes foundation wall.

That’s not all, any moisture that may find its way past the wrap is carried to the foundation drain by its strategically designed air gap drainage path.

The combination of an impermeable vapour barrier and air gap allows your foundation concrete to breathe while still controlling moisture.
