Resurface, Waterproof, and Repair Concrete Permanently
Our system is designed to resurface, waterproof, and repair leaking cracks, penetrations, tie-holes, and defective concrete—from both the positive and negative side of water pressure. Stop leaks and extend the life of your concrete structures.
NextBuild Crystalline Concrete Repair & Waterproofing System
This system combines a fast-setting hydraulic repair compound with a cementitious crystalline waterproofing coating to provide a complete solution for active leaks, structural defects, and long-term waterproofing of concrete.
The repair component is used to immediately stop active water ingress and restore structural integrity, while the crystalline coating penetrates the concrete substrate and reacts with moisture and cement hydration by-products. This reaction forms a non-soluble crystalline structure within pores, capillaries, and microcracks, permanently reducing permeability and preventing water penetration—even under hydrostatic pressure.
System Components
Fast-Setting Repair Compound (Plugging Material)
A rapid-setting, cement-based material designed to stop flowing water within seconds and seal localized defects.
Function:
- Providing initial structural repair prior to waterproofing
- Instantaneous leak stoppage
- Sealing cracks, tie holes, and construction defects
Crystalline Waterproofing Coating (Surface-Applied)
A cementitious slurry applied to prepared concrete surfaces to provide deep, permanent waterproofing.
Function:
- Seals static hairline cracks up to ~0.5 mm
- Penetrates concrete and forms crystalline structures
- Blocks water pathways within pores and capillaries
- Enhances durability and chemical resistance
Recommended Applications
Basements and foundations
Water-retaining structures (reservoirs, tanks, pools)
Underground structures and tunnels
Parking structures and slabs
Sewage and water treatment facilities
Marine and high-hydrostatic environments
System Advantages
- Immediate stoppage of active leaks
- Integral waterproofing (not a surface membrane)
- Permanent solution—does not delaminate or deteriorate
- Resistant to high hydrostatic pressure
- Can be applied on positive or negative side
- Compatible with concrete and masonry substrates
- Breathable system (allows vapor transmission)
- High resistance to chemicals and aggressive environments
- Non-toxic and VOC-free
- Reduces need for multiple trades and accelerates construction timelin
System Components
Surface Preparation
- Remove laitance, coatings, and contaminants
- Mechanically prepare surface to open pores (CSP 3 recommended)
- Ensure sound concrete substrate
Crack & Defect Repair (Active Leaks)
- Chip defects to approx. 25 mm width × 37 mm depth
- Create dovetail groove for mechanical interlock
- Clean and saturate surface
For active water flow:
- Apply fast-setting repair compound directly
- Hold in place until leak is stopped
- For high pressure, use temporary relief (bleeder hose)
Structural Repair (Non-Active Defects)
- Apply bonding slurry (crystalline coating)
- Fill cavity using dry-pack or repair mortar
- Compact tightly into prepared groove
Surface Saturation
- Pre-wet concrete to Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition
- Remove standing water before application
Crystalline Coating Application
- Apply slurry using brush, broom, or spray Typical coverage: ~0.8 – 1.6 kg/m² per coat
- Apply uniformly at ~1 mm thickness
- Second coat applied while first is still “green” (within 48 hrs)
Curing
- Moist cure for 2–3 days (minimum)
- Keep surface damp to promote crystal growth
- Protect from extreme weather conditions
