Bosch UniversalHumid

Product description

Leakproofs by Betterwork specifies and applies Bosch UniversalHumid 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 UniversalHumid is used

This product is specified for damp walls, walls, bathroom.

• Confirming damp identified by thermal survey
• Measuring moisture in plaster and masonry during damp diagnosis
• Checking whether a substrate is dry enough for a coating to be applied
• Monitoring a treated wall as it dries out after damp-proofing
• Checking timber in older roofs and Madras terrace construction

Suitable substrates: Plaster, Masonry, Timber, Screed.

How it is applied

Pins are pressed into the material and the reading taken at several depths and locations. Because it leaves small marks, readings are taken in areas that will be replastered or in inconspicuous positions in an occupied property.

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

• Direct measurement rather than an inference from temperature
• Reads plaster, masonry, screed and timber
• Confirms whether a substrate is dry enough to coat
• Compact and quick to use during an inspection
• Leaves small pin marks — placement needs thought in finished rooms
