Experience of the 'Sika process' for basement waterproofing?

[Alan Ambrose]

Hi, does anyone have any experience of the Sika quality control processes for waterproofing basements.

 

How does it work briefly and any tips for managing it?

Yes We use it at the bottom of lift shafts

It reacts to the water We usually have a little pump running While we get the first coat 2 scratch coats and one top coat sponged up To make 20 mil in total Forty pounds a bag 

Tend to use membrane on basements due to cost

Assuming you get their guarantee - I'm guessing Sika want to sign off the spec & drawings and have a person on site to verify? That's it?

Just to report back - Sika offered to train and supervise workers and put me in contact with their product distributors. I told them that I was trying to to find already trained and experineced workers.

 

It seemd a bit strange to me - but it turns out they don't have an official list of 'Sika-authorised' contractors, but have undertaken to send me some unofficial contacts.
