Basements

If there was ever a space that could benefit from a waterproof protective coating, it’s basements. Below-grade basements are prone to leaks, moisture intrusion, and foundation damage. Badger Black creates a seamless barrier that stops water penetration before it becomes a problem. Whether you’re waterproofing a new build or fixing an existing structure, it’s a go-to solution for long-term protection.

  • Prevents foundation leaks
  • Blocks moisture to reduce the risk of mold
  • Flexible membrane adapts to structural movement

Between Slabs

When working with multi-layer concrete slabs, waterproofing is critical to prevent water from seeping into the structure. Badger Black forms a tough, moisture-resistant membrane between slabs to boost durability and prevent cracks, leaks, and costly damage over time.

  • Perfect for parking decks, podium slabs, and split-slab construction
  • Provides a strong, seamless, waterproof layer
  • Stands up to heavy foot traffic and construction loads

Bridges

Bridges have to remain strong and stable through rain, snow, de-icing salts, extreme temperature changes, and more. Badger Black stands up to the elements, protecting the bridge and extending its lifespan.

  • Resists water penetration and harsh environmental conditions
  • Flexible and durable, preventing cracking and deterioration
  • Quick and easy application minimizes downtime

Shower Pans

A properly waterproofed shower pan is crucial to prevent costly water damage. Badger Black creates a seamless, leak-proof layer that keeps water contained, ensuring long-term performance and a positive experience.

  • Easy to apply and forms a flexible, waterproof membrane
  • Works with a variety of substrates, including concrete and wood
  • Resists mold, mildew, and bacteria growth

Planters

Waterproofing planters is essential to prevent leaks that can cause structural damage. Badger Black is designed to last in wet soil, providing a reliable barrier that keeps moisture inside the planter, not damaging the surrounding surfaces

  • Prevents water damage to walls and concrete structures
  • Safe for use in green spaces and landscaping projects
  • Forms a strong, flexible seal that won’t crack over time

Tunnels

Tunnels, especially those constructed underground, face constant exposure to moisture, pressure, and environmental wear. Badger Black provides an impenetrable waterproof coating that protects the tunnel structure against leaks and deterioration.

  • Withstands underground water pressure
  • Prevents leaks in transit tunnels, underground parking, and utility corridors
  • Durable product for long-term performance

How It Works – Simple, Fast, and Reliable Waterproofing

  • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, grease, and loose material.
  • Apply a stripe coat of Badger Black over all cracks up to 1/16” width. All cracks over 1/16” width must be caulked with a polyurethane sealant.
  • All metal flashings must be primed with a manufacturer recommended primer.
  • Badger Black should be thoroughly mixed using a mechanical mixer at slow speed to ensure a homogeneous material. 
  • Avoid entrapping air into the material
  • Do not mix in an up and down motion.
  • Badger Black may be applied with a brush, squeegee, trowel, roller or airless sprayer. 
  • While Badger Black can be applied at any thickness, over smooth surfaces, such as poured-in-place concrete, Badger Black should be applied evenly in two 30 mil coats. 
  • A manufacturer approved reinforcing fabric may be applied into the wet coating if desired.
  • At 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity, allow each coat of Badger Black to fully cure for a minimum of 16 hours.
  • Cure time will vary depending on temperature and humidity. If more than 48 hours pass between coats the surface must be re-primed.
  • Spray equipment should be cleaned with an environmentally safe solvent, as permitted under local regulations, immediately after use.
