Clean your concrete surfaces<\/h3>\n<p>Before applying any waterproofing, the concrete surface must be properly prepared and cleaned.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h3>2. Surface preparation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear the slab of any furniture or clutter that might interfere with the process.<\/li>\n<li>Remove dust and debris with a broom or vacuum cleaner.<\/li>\n<li>If moss is present, treat it with an anti-moss product.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the slab thoroughly with a brush and a product such as Saint-Marc.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse the surface with clean water or a high-pressure cleaner.<\/li>\n<li>Leave the slab to dry for 2 to 3 days.<\/li>\n<li>Test the porosity of the concrete surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For waterproofing to be effective, the concrete slab must be sufficiently porous.<\/p>\n<p>You can check this with a simple test:<\/p>\n<h3>3. Porosity check<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pour a little water on the concrete slab.<\/li>\n<li>If the water is absorbed in less than 3 minutes, your tiles are sufficiently porous.<\/li>\n<li>If water stagnates on the surface, forming a puddle, the slab is not porous enough. In this case, you will need to &#8220;open&#8221; the concrete by following these steps:<\/li>\n<li>Mix 1 liter of hydrochloric acid with 4 liters of water, following the manufacturer&#8217;s safety instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the solution onto the slab using a watering can.<\/li>\n<li>Leave on for 1 hour, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.<\/li>\n<li>Leave to dry for 48 hours.<\/li>\n<li>Apply waterproofing to concrete<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before applying waterproofing, be sure to take the necessary precautions, as these products are volatile and potentially hazardous to health. Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<h3>4. Application of waterproofing :<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear protective clothing, gloves, mask and goggles.<\/li>\n<li>Use a sprayer for even application.<\/li>\n<li>Fill the sprayer with waterproofing.<\/li>\n<li>Pressurize the sprayer.<\/li>\n<li>Start by spraying the waterproofing compound onto the bottom of the surface to be treated.<\/li>\n<li>Spray evenly over an area of approx. 1 m\u00b2, covering all tiles and joints.<\/li>\n<li>Move on to the next surface, slightly overlapping the area already treated.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations for drying times.<\/li>\n<li>Apply a second coat of waterproofing after initial drying.<\/li>\n<li>Wait 24 hours before putting your garden furniture back in place and enjoying your waterproofed terrace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By following these steps, you can effectively waterproof your concrete slabs, extending their lifespan and protecting them from the elements.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b46030a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b46030a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/eau-perle-ciment-protecteur-siloxanes-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11762\" alt=\"eau-perle-ciment-protecteur-siloxanes-3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/eau-perle-ciment-protecteur-siloxanes-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/eau-perle-ciment-protecteur-siloxanes-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prostationnement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/eau-perle-ciment-protecteur-siloxanes-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c948887 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c948887\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Concrete and its impermeability<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32a0bb88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32a0bb88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Conventional concrete is not 100% waterproof.

The four main classes are :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Class 1: completely dry (suitable for living areas, archives, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Class 2: dry or slightly damp (for storage of moisture-sensitive products, cellars, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Class 3: damp (used for buildings with lesser use, such as underground parking lots).<\/li>\n<li>Class 4: damp or wet (used for shelter structures).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Weak points in waterproofing<\/h3>\n<p>After construction, weak points may appear, such as holes for fixing shelves or other elements. These areas must be hermetically sealed to prevent moisture and infiltration.<\/p>\n<h3>Horizontal moisture protection<\/h3>\n<p>Horizontal waterproofing is essential to prevent moisture penetrating from the ground. It consists of a liquid seal applied to the wall, forming an impermeable barrier.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20ed55c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20ed55c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29092600 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29092600\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In conclusion, waterproofing concrete is essential to extend its life and preserve its appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps and consider your sealing options to ensure effective protection of your concrete slabs against water, oil and other damaging elements.<\/p>\n<p>For best results, we recommend that you call on the services of professionals experienced in concrete waterproofing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3062f367 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3062f367\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1dae8f2b\" data-id=\"1dae8f2b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89ee1e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"89ee1e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waterproofing a concrete surface Waterproofing concrete slabs is a crucial step in extending their lifespan while preserving their natural appearance.
