What is the Rub-R-Wall?
Rub-R-Wall is a polymer membrane for waterproofing all types of below-grade foundations. Applied with a spatula or trowel, it adheres perfectly to the foundation as it dries, waterproofing it by forming a 1 mm (40 thousandths of an inch) waterproof rubber barrier.

How to apply Rub-R-Wall
Preparation and Assessment
Clear the affected area by excavating or clearing so that the crack is fully visible and accessible. Then assess the type of crack, its width and length, and check for signs of water infiltration. It’s best to call experts if you notice signs of water infiltration in your foundation.
Surface Cleaning
To ensure the membrane adheres effectively to your foundation, clean the crack and surrounding area thoroughly. It’s crucial to remove any debris, dirt or remnants of old sealants. The use of a wire brush or vacuum cleaner can facilitate surface cleaning.
Applying and Drying
For best results, apply the Rub-R-Wall membrane to the entire surface of the crack using a trowel. Make sure to fill the crack and cover it completely. Once the application is complete, allow the membrane to dry completely.
Backfilling
Once the membrane is completely dry, the soil can be backfilled to bring everything back into place. Keep a close eye on the repaired crack for any signs of movement or reappearance. Moreover, look for any underlying causes that may explain the appearance of the crack, such as a drainage problem. If you find any, take the necessary steps to rectify the situation.
