Why waterproofing?
Water is an omnipresent element in your home’s environment.
The ground surrounding your home naturally contains moisture. It must also properly drain sudden water flows such as precipitation, snowmelt, roof runoff or lawn watering. Your home may also be located in a flood zone or near a water table, which can lead to waterlogging.
To keep your home safe and dry, it is essential to protect your foundation walls according to the specifics of your property with the help of proven foundation waterproofing processes. Whether it’s with a geotextile membrane or an elastomeric membrane, we are the company you need to solve any infiltration problem.
When it comes to sustainability and ecological construction, the number one choice is without a doubt the Rub-R-Wall product!
Why is waterproofing so important?
Foundation waterproofing is often overlooked by builders and substituted with simple tarring. This is an economical solution, but it does not resist cracking of the concrete foundation or weather damage and does not effectively protect against the constant water and moisture around the foundation.
Waterproofing is the only way to eliminate this problem – it’s a lifetime protection for your home and the best choice for your health. This solution will protect you from the risk of water infiltration.
Is it suitable for different uses?

The Groupe Durasec method
Rub-R-Wall: a complete solution for foundation waterproofing
The Rub-R-Wall waterproofing membrane ensures that your foundation is completely waterproof against the surrounding soil. The membrane is elastic and can contain concrete spalls and even cracks up to 3.2 mm (1/8″) wide. When the Geo-Wrap drain is installed over the Rub-R-Wall membrane, it protects it against any risk of deterioration, in addition to improving the flow of runoff water along the foundation towards the French drain.
A tar-free solution
Although this technique is not environmentally friendly and less effective in the short or long term, tar and bitumen-based membranes are often recommended as a waterproofing solution for foundations.
At Groupe Durasec, we offer you the tar-free and non-polluting alternative! The Rub-R-Wall membrane contains no tar by-products. Laboratory tested, it remains extensible and retains its adhesion for a minimum of 100 years (ASTM D412, ASTM D2240 test).
What our customers say about us...
After waterproofing your foundation with the Rub-R-Wall membrane, there is much less moisture in the air in one’s home. In fact, people who own a dehumidifier accumulate an average of one tank of water per day, and most people now accumulate a tank every two weeks.
By entrusting your work to Groupe Durasec, you are guaranteed impeccable quality and precision, especially when you opt for a type of membrane that offers a high level of efficiency.
