What is Blindside Waterproofing?

You’ve heard of negative-side waterproofing. You’ve heard of positive-side waterproofing. So, what is “blindside” waterproofing? After reading this article, you can add ‘Blindside Waterproofing Authority’ to your LinkedIn profile in a New York minute. (Translation for our international readers: Really fast—like, Roadrunner fast.)

The long short? Blindside waterproofing is a category of positive-side waterproofing.

The difference? When you’re pouring a foundation in a dense urban area – think downtown Toronto, New York, London, or Rio de Janeiro – conventional waterproofing simply isn’t possible.

Your project workflow will look more like this:

1. Deploy a soil retention system that holds back the soil so your foundation hole does not collapse.
2. Install your drainage board before you pour your concrete.
3. Fasten your membrane sheet goods waterproofing material to your drainage board.
4. Pour your foundation.
