Wilcote has vast experience in the waterproofing of Reservoirs, Earth Dams and Swimming Pools.
From Wilcote’s experience, most Reservoirs leak through the junction, at the base of the wall and floor.
Occasionally, leaks occur through cracks and seepage through the wall.
Expansion Joints on the floor, incorrectly waterproofed can also cause problems.
Earth dams generally leak because of the porosity of the soil e.g. sandy soil.
Earth dams, which do not have correct core installation, during the manufacture of the wall, also cause trouble and tend to leak.
Our W640 Granular Earth Dam Sealer has been successfully used while the dam contains water.
However, for a long-term solution, we recommend our W608 Earth Dam Sealer, which is incorporated in the soil medium.
