Even though we added a waterproofing admixture in the
concrete mix, I decided to be conservative and treat the concrete roof surface
with an additional waterproofing membrane. I will not have a leaking roof!
A bituminous primer is used prior to the application of the
torchon waterproofing membrane. The tar like substance prevents moisture from
penetrating into the porous concrete slab. After a few months the surface will
be painted with a light grey top coat to protect the waterproofing from the sun’s
UV rays.
