Different Methods For Removal Of Waterproofing Membrane Coatings

Torched-on Waterproofing Membrane Coatings will require one of the 3 below methods below to remove them successfully:
– Chemical
– Melting/Blowtorch
– Scraping

For all other types of Waterproofing Membrane coatings, we use the other 4 standard methods to successfully remove them:
– Chemical
– Shot Blasting
– Concrete Grinding
– High-Powered Floor Scrapers

1) Concrete Grinding, Shot Blasting, and Scraping to Remove Waterproofing Membranes are the most common methods used.

2) Chemical Waterproof Coating Removal is strong, and a mask and protective gear would be needed to avoid inhaling fumes.

3) And last but not least, a Blowtorch Waterproof Coating Removal method may be required to melt the membrane enough for a Waterproof Coating to be removed. After this is done, a good scraping or grinding will remove any leftover residue.

Once we have completed the Removal of the Waterproof Coatings or Membranes, they must be disposed of in accordance with your local area regulations, and not just “chucked in the bin” with your household trash.
