Waterproofing Membranes
Our ArmorMembrane 363 and Mar-flex 5000 waterproofing membranes provide impermeable protection against water intrusion. These elastomeric systems resist freeze-thaw cycles while maintaining flexibility, with LEED-certified options containing 20% recycled content. Available in water-based and solvent-based formulations, they create seamless seals for foundations, parking garages, and plaza decks.
Air Barrier Systems
ArmorAir Barrier 1200p creates continuous vapor-permeable air barriers that prevent moisture damage while allowing wall assembly breathability. This acrylic membrane adheres to CMU, concrete, and sheathing materials, reducing energy costs and mold risk while contributing to LEED certification points for commercial buildings.
Drainage Solutions
GeoDrain tiles and ArmorDrain boards form comprehensive drainage systems that replace traditional gravel methods. Our recycled-content drainage boards manage hydrostatic pressure while maintaining insulation value, with multiple protection levels (Platinum, Gold, Silver) for commercial and residential applications.
Concrete Repair
DIY and professional crack repair kits utilize low-viscosity epoxies and urethane foams to restore concrete integrity. Systems include surface sealants, injection ports, and stitching kits that address cracks from 6-8 linear feet, with formulations meeting ASTM C881 standards for structural repair.
Dampproofing
ArmorBlock 361 WB and DampFUSION membranes create moisture-resistant barriers for below-grade foundations. These cost-effective solutions meet building code requirements while providing vapor retardation for interior masonry walls, with application flexibility across diverse climate conditions.

Report
I had some troubles with the basement crack repair kit but while writing my review the foam expanded filling in all the cracks and I expect it will do the job. So, happy but with a couple of constructive comments. First, hold the tip on with one hand while you squeeze the plunger as it doesn't stay on. Second, note the plunger is empty when it is only half way down the tube. Third, make sure to put plenty of the covering material at the bottom of your crack so all the goop doesn't flow out the bottom.
If you seal the bottom of the crack first, replace the tube when it gets hard even if it seems you should have more to go, and hold on to the tip while you squeeze, you'll be fine. Great idea, great kit, good price, but they really should fix that tip.
