Swimming Pool Waterproofing Systems

Swimming pool waterproofing systems combine a continuous shell barrier with detailing at lights, inlets, floor-wall junctions, and movement joints. Petroseal supports cementitious under-tile systems and polyurea options where specified. Flood testing before finishes is recommended when required by the designer.
