Protecting the Investment in your Building
Prevent water and moisture problems with a complete below-grade concrete waterproofing system.
Major investments are made in buildings today, and those investments deserve the very best protection available. For that protection, look to the only company that has consistently helped owners protect their buildings against the ingress of moisture for over 95 years: W. R. MEADOWS. Recognized as the leader in developing and producing quality products for the construction industry, W. R. MEADOWS’ products can bring to your project a coveted reputation earned with architects, engineers and contractors.
What makes up the total moisture control package?
Moisture is found in some form or another on every building site. The difference between a satisfied owner and a “problem” project is how you deal with that moisture. Critical to below-grade waterproofing are all the products used in combination to create a system. It’s this system that ensures that you have complete control of moisture migration in a facility. With W. R. MEADOWS’ complete line of waterproofing and moisture control products, you’ll have all the products needed to create and install the proper protective system for your building.
New Product: HYDRALASTIC 836 SL Below-Grade Waterproofing Membrane
HYDRALASTIC 836 SL is a single-component, cold-applied, solvent-free, water-activated, below-grade waterproofing system. It does not shrink and has a low VOC content. It will not crack in extreme cold or flow due to softening at high temperatures. HYDRALASTIC 836 SL is suitable for use on interior or exterior concrete surfaces, where protection from water intrusion is desired. The product can be used for both above-grade and below-grade applications. HYDRALASTIC 836 SL is excellent for many applications, such as waterproofing plaza decks and elevated composite decks and also in between-slab (split-slab) applications.
BELOW-GRADE CONCRETE WATERPROOFING PRODUCTS AND ACCESSORIES
HRM 714
hot-applied rubberized asphalt waterproofing membrane is a 100% solids blend of asphalts, synthetic rubber polymers, and filler formulated to provide toughness with flexibility and low moisture vapor permeance.
HYDRALASTIC 836
is a cold-applied, solvent-free, single-component below-grade concrete waterproofing compound. It does not shrink, has a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, and has a very low odor. It will not crack in extreme cold, or slump due to softening at high temperatures. HYDRALASTIC 836 is excellent for horizontal and vertical applications such as waterproofing plaza decks, planter boxes, and sealing parapets.
PRECON
is used as a blindside membrane in vertical applications where access to the positive side is limited. The membrane can also be used for horizontal applications for underslab waterproofing and vaporproofing.
PRECON LOW TEMP
is a composite sheet membrane comprised of a non-woven fabric, elastomeric membrane, and W. R. MEADOWS’ exclusive, patented plasmatic core (U.S. Patent No. 7,179,761). The plasmatic core is a seven-layer matrix designed for toughness and provides the lowest water vapor transmission (WVT) rating on the market. Once concrete is poured against PRECON LOW TEMP and the concrete cures, a mechanical bond forms that secures the concrete to the membrane. This low temperature version can be installed in temperatures down to 25° F (-4° C).
MEL-DEK
below-grade waterproofing system provides an excellent waterproofing membrane for bridges, parking decks or other vehicular traffic structures to be overlaid with an asphaltic concrete wearing course. It is ideal for repair, maintenance or new construction applications.
MEL-ROL LM
is a single-component, polymer-modified, cold-applied, water-based, liquid waterproofing membrane ideal for below-grade horizontal seamless waterproofing applications. It uses the same high quality rubber polymers found in W.R. MEADOWS’ popular MEL-ROL “peel and stick” membrane, and converts them into a heavy bodied, high solids, quick-drying liquid membrane.
MEL-ROL
waterproofing system is a flexible, versatile, dependable, roll-type below-grade waterproofing membrane. It is composed of a nominally 56 mil thick layer of polymeric waterproofing membrane on a heavy-duty, 4 mil thick, cross-laminated polyethylene carrier film.
BEM: One-component, Cold-Applied, Non-Slump Waterproofing Membrane
MEL-PRIME: Ready-to-Use Adhesive
MEL-DRAIN TOTAL-DRAIN: Prefabricated Soil Drain System
MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE: Two-Component Detailing Membrane
PROTECTION COURSE: Waterproofing Protection
MEL-DRAIN: Rolled Matrix Drainage System
TERMINATION BAR: Multi-Purpose, Preformed Attachment Plastic

MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY: THE IDEAL COLD WEATHER BELOW GRADE WATERPROOFING SOLUTION
W. R. MEADOWS, INC. is proud to introduce MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY, a cold-applied liquid waterproofing membrane designed for below-grade vertical applications. With advanced technology and cold-weather-friendly properties, MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY offers a durable and efficient solution for demanding waterproofing projects.
MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY is a liquid-applied, seamless elastomeric membrane that provides outstanding resistance to water and water vapor. Modified with a proprietary blend of synthetic polymers and special additives, the product cures to form a tough, durable barrier, ensuring reliable protection even in challenging conditions.
This versatile membrane is suitable for both new construction and restoration projects on concrete or concrete masonry units (CMU). It is also compatible with insulated concrete forms (ICFs) and green concrete applications, making it an excellent choice for contractors and builders seeking adaptable, high-performing solutions.
MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY is designed for application in cool and damp conditions, with rapid resistance to rain wash-off. Its co-spray technology reduces reliance on ambient film-forming conditions, allowing for use in diverse climates and extending the seasonal application window. The product’s ability to achieve single-application thickness in one coat helps reduce installation time and costs, making it a cost-effective option for professionals.
Environmentally conscious contractors will appreciate that MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY is non-toxic, non-flammable, phthalate-free, and VOC-compliant in all 50 states. Its liquid-applied nature ensures a monolithic, seamless membrane on both smooth and rough surfaces, with excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates for long-lasting performance.
The MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY system, when combined with W. R. MEADOWS’ CURE-IT co-spray curative, creates a comprehensive below-grade waterproofing solution. This system simplifies application and enhances performance, delivering reliable results for contractors and end users.
MEADOW-PRUF CO-SPRAY is an innovative addition to our product lineup, offering advanced features for winter projects and beyond,” said Russ Snow, W. R. MEADOWS’ Sales Manager and Product Group Manager for Building Envelope. “Its robust performance in cold-weather applications and seamless technology make it a dependable choice for contractors facing diverse challenges.”
