Thoroseal and Thorocoat Maintenance

Waterproofing with Thoroseal and Thorocoat protects your property from moisture, mold, and weather damage. However, regular Thoroseal and Thorocoat maintenance is essential for durability. Proper care prevents cracks, leaks, and costly repairs, ensuring long-term protection.

Why Maintenance Matters

Thoroseal and Thorocoat create a strong waterproof barrier, but environmental exposure can weaken them over time. Without proper upkeep, they may develop cracks, peeling, and discoloration. Routine maintenance ensures long-lasting protection and prevents costly repairs.

Cleaning Thoroseal and Thorocoat

Keeping these coatings clean helps maintain their waterproofing properties. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup, stains, and potential damage. Use gentle cleaning methods to avoid compromising the integrity of the coatings.

Cleaning Thoroseal (Cement-Based Coating)

Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt. For stains, apply a mild detergent solution, rinse with clean water, and let it dry completely. Avoid pressure washing, as it can weaken the coating.

Cleaning Thorocoat (Flexible Acrylic Coating)

Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse with a low-pressure water spray and reapply a fresh coat if needed.

Fixing Common Issues

Cracks or Peeling

Clean the affected area thoroughly, removing any loose or damaged material before reapplying a new coat. Lightly sand peeling sections before reapplication to ensure proper adhesion. If cracks are deep or widespread, consider applying a waterproofing primer before recoating for better durability.

Stains or Discoloration

Use mild detergent and a soft brush to remove stains. Rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry. Apply a fresh coat for persistent discoloration, ensuring even coverage to restore the coating’s original look. If discoloration continues, inspect for underlying moisture issues that may need attention.

Water Leaks

Identify and repair leak sources before recoating to prevent recurring issues. Check for gaps, weak spots, or damaged areas around joints and edges. Reapply Thoroseal or Thorocoat as needed, ensuring full coverage. Seek professional help for persistent leaks to avoid structural damage and costly repairs.

When to Seek Professional Help

Certain issues require expert intervention. Consider professional waterproofing services if:

• Large sections of the coating show cracks, peeling, or damage.
• Water damage persists despite maintenance and reapplication.
• Mold growth spreads extensively and cannot be controlled with basic cleaning.
• A complete reapplication is necessary for enhanced protection.
