TUFF-N-DRI® System Application

Expert Installation
TUFF-N-DRI® Waterproofing System is installed only by TUFF-N-DRI® Selected Waterproofing Contractors. These contractors undergo extensive training and are monitored for quality performance to insure the highest quality application.

Surface Preparation
The wall surface should be smooth and monolithic. Remove loose aggregate and sharp protrusions from the wall. Voids, spalled areas and exposed aggregate should be patched with a suitable mastic before spraying. TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane does not require any priming or special preparation.

System Application
TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane is sprayed evenly over the entire foundation wall. After the surface has had adequate time to set-up, WARM-N-DRI foundation board is applied over the waterproofing membrane.

TUFF-N-DRI® Waterproofing System can be applied when ambient temperatures are as low as 20'F, allowing for fewer construction delays. TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane may be applied on poured concrete and block foundations. On poured concrete basements, TUFF-N-DRI® System can be applied as soon as the forms are removed, and on block basements, as soon as the mortar is dry.

Considerations
TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane should not be exposed to sunlight for more than 15 days. TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane should not be applied at an ambient temperature below 20'F WARM-N-DRI Foundation Board is required for all warranted TUFF-N-DRI® Waterproofing System installations. WARM-N-DRI Board must extend to the footing and connect through gravel or channels to a functioning perimeter drainage system.

Maintenance
TUFF-N-DRI® Waterproofing System products do not require maintenance as long as they are installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations and are unaltered by other job site trades.

Environmentally-friendly and safe
TUFF-N-DRI® Waterproofing System is environmentally friendly to the air and ground water on the job site. TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane uses a non-flammable, water-based carrier that meets VOC regulations in all 50 U.S. states. It has been thoroughly tested by independent labs using Federal EPA standards for leaching. The results prove that no harmful leaching of the TUFF-N-DRI® Membrane occurs.
