Waterproofing
As defined in ASTM D1079: “the treatment of a surface or a structure to prevent the passage of water under hydrostatic pressure.”
6
Membrane
Fluid-applied membranes are usually: Polyurethane Hot Rubberized Asphalt – not as
elastic as polyurethane and requires a thicker coat
7
Sheet Membranes
Butyl synthetic rubber sheet [60 mils thick]
Ethylene propylene diene monomers (EPDM) [min. 1/16” thick]
Pre-molded bituminous [7 ply] Rubberized asphalt [56 mils] Self-adhesive butyl [60 mils-
requires adhesive primer]
8
Bituminous
Usually applied on vertical below-grade surfaces
Hot coal-tar pitch or hot asphalt The number of plies, overall
thickness, and content vary according to the depth of the hydrostatic head (in ft. – all increase as the depth increases)
9
Clay waterproofing
Bentonite clay – when wet, it expands to between 10 to 15 times its dry volume.
It is typically mixed with water & sprayed in place (also available in dry sheets between cardboard)
Placed below grade to exterior surfaces
10
Cementitious Waterproofing
Composed of portland cement, aggregate, and an acrylic or plastic admix.
It may also contain iron fillers (then known as iron oxide waterproofing)
Hydraulic cement – another form of cementitious waterproofing used to seal holes, cracks and open joints (often in free-flowing water)
11
Dampproofing
May be hot- or cold- applied Hot consists of an asphalt primer
or a coal-tar-based primer Used on the exterior of buildings-
not interior because of lingering odor and the problems associated with using “hot” products indoors.
12
Building Insulation
Usually added to the roof, walls, and floors of a structure
4 basic classifications are: Rigid board Mineral fiber Loose fill Foamed-in-place
Listed according to their R-Values
13
Rigid Insulation Usable in all parts of a building –usually in a board form Most are [Resistance/inch]:
Polystyrene – sensitive to daylight, give off carbon monoxide while burning
Polyurethane [6.25] – may expand after exposure to moisture Polyisocyanurate [7.2] Perlite [2.78] – will not burn, tends to absorb water Phenolic [8.3] –breaks easily, corrodes metal Cellular glass block- [2.5] – breaks easily, deteriorates if exposed to
freezing & thawing Organic fiber – roofing systems primary use, wood fibers and water
resistant binders Glass fiber Composites – take advantage of high R-values of some materials in
combination with the stability of others
14
Mineral Fiber Insulation
Products made from fibers from rock, slag, or glass
Naturally resistant to fire, moisture, and vermin
May be semi-rigid boards, batts, or blankets (longer than batts and sold in large rolls). Intended to fit between studs (16” or 24” o.c.)
15
Loose-fill Insulation
Comprised of fibers, granules, or chips
May be poured or “blown” into attics or wall cavities
Common additives may include: adhesives, and chemical treatments to resist fire and vermin
16
Foamed-in-place Insulation
Created by a chemical reaction that expands a mixture of components as much as 30 times
Curing typically takes from 24-72 hours, at which time the mixture solidifies into a cellular plastic
Care must be taken not to “overfill” a cavity
17
Roofing
Low slope – in general, these are roofs which slope less than 11/2”/ft.
On low slope roofs a system of compatible components is selected to work together to form a waterproof membrane
Common systems used are: built-up roof or single-ply
18
Examples of Single-Ply Membranes
EPDM – factory cured elastomer, bonded to themselves using adhesives
CSPE (DuPont Hypalon) –synthetic rubber, may also be liquid
CPE – un-reinforced or polyester reinforced sheet material
PIB – formulated from isobutylene and other polymers, carbon black, and additional additives
19
Example of Built-up Roof
20
Steep Roofing
Slopes exceed 11/2”/ft. Many materials used in modern
roofing practices existed centuries ago (clay tiles, and stone)
Material used is based on: cost criteria, slope of roof, expected service life, wind resistance, fire resistance, and local climate.
21
Roofing Material and Slope
Min. Slope
Type of roof
2 in 12 Asphalt shingles
3 in 12 Mineral fiber-cement shingles, wood shakes or shingles
4 in 12 Slate shingles, concrete tile (other than flat)
5 in 12 Flat clay tile, concrete tile
22
Roofing Underlayment
Should be asphalt-saturated felt (usually a No. 15 or No. 30 used, may require more than 1 layer-depending on roofing material selected)
Applied immediately after the roof sheathing is in place
23
Underlayment Performs These Functions:
Protects sheathing from moisture absorption
Prevents the entrance of wind-driven rain onto sheathing
Prevents direct contact between asphalt shingles and resinous areas in wood sheathing (chemically incompatible-may damage shingles)
24
Types of Roofing Materials

Flashing
Should be installed at all intersections of other roofs, walls, and projections from roof.
Flashing should be made of corrosion resistant materials such as: Galvanized or stainless steel (min 26 gauge) Aluminum (0.019 inch min.) –avoid using next
to masonry Copper (16 oz.) –if not lead coated…may stain
surrounding materials Flexible sheet- made of PVC or modified
polymers-used in single-ply & some BUR
31
Typical Locations for Flashing
Valleys –joint formed by 2 sloping roofs
Chimney Eaves – ice forming along the
eaves Drip edge All roof penetrations
32
Siding The type of wall siding selected depends on
cost, expected life service, wind resistance, fire resistance, local climate, and maintenance.
Possible materials include: Mineral-Fiber-Cement shingles Wood shingles & shakes Aluminum and Vinyl siding Wood or Hardboard siding
Bevel, Tongue & Groove, Lap, Board and Batten
33
Sealants Basic types of building sealants include:
Elastomeric (rubber like) –polysulfides, silicone, polyurethane [expansion joints]
Solvent release curing [small-joints (3/16” or less] Latex emulsion [small interior joints, doors,windows] Tape [glazing, concealing lap joints] Acoustical [seal sound transmission, electrical
outlets] Preformed Foam Oil-based caulking compounds [doors, windows,
masonry subject to little or no movement]
