Key Features

This foundation waterproofing detail drawing includes:

  • Reinforced concrete wall and slab in section
  • Waterproof membrane wrapping under the slab
  • Foam glass insulation adhered below the slab
  • Restoration plaster and render up to a 1000 mm flood line
  • Damp-proof course weep holes and cavity tray in the wall above
  • Repair mortar fillet and sealing band at the wall-floor joint
  • Water-based epoxy, resin screed, and tiled floor finish
  • Sacrificial interior finishes mounted on clips

The interior wall finishes sit on clips in a sacrificial zone, so after a flood they come off for drying and replacement without disturbing the waterproofing behind them.

Key Considerations When Designing a Foundation Waterproofing Detail

The joint where the wall meets the slab is the weak spot in this detail, so it gets a fillet of repair mortar and a sealing band before the floor finishes go down. Rename the callouts in ArcSite to the products your crew installs, and the customer sees their own system in the section.

FAQ

Is this detail for a full basement?

No. It shows a ground-floor slab and wall in a flood-prone area, protected up to 1000 mm. For a below-grade basement, carry the membrane and drainage down the wall in ArcSite.

Can I swap the product callouts?

Yes! You can rename every callout in ArcSite to match the membranes and coatings your crew uses.

Does ArcSite come set up for waterproofing jobs?

Foundation and waterproofing contractors get pre-built drain and encapsulation products, so your product list doesn't start from zero.
