Product description
Leakproofs by Betterwork specifies and applies Bosch GIS 500 Professional as part of a complete waterproofing system. A material on its own does not stop a leak — what stops it is the right material chosen for the right defect, on a surface that has been properly prepared. That is why we deep-scan before we specify.
Where Bosch GIS 500 Professional is used
This product is specified for walls, damp walls, bathroom.
- Quick spot checks for damp during a first site visit
- Comparing suspect and reference areas on the same wall
- Checking surface temperature before coating application
- Routine follow-up checks on a treated area
Suitable substrates: Plaster, Masonry, RCC.
How it is applied
Used as a comparative instrument rather than an absolute one: readings across the suspect area are measured against a known-dry part of the same wall, in the same conditions, at the same time.
Preparation is the part that decides whether the system lasts. Loose material and failed old coatings are removed, cracks are cut and filled, and the surface is cleaned and brought to the moisture condition the product requires before anything is applied. Skipping that stage is the single most common reason waterproofing fails in its first season, whichever brand is on the tin.
Key properties
- Fast non-contact surface temperature readings
- Straightforward to operate on site
- Useful for comparative damp checking
- Lower cost than a camera or a combined detector
- Temperature only — no humidity sensing
