Canal Street Building, NYC
The Challenge
The owners had a good deal of water damage throughout the lower level of the building as a result of Hurricane Sandy. They needed to replace the boiler and other electrical equipment. The water had come up through the floor and also through the walls. The owner wanted to prevent this from reoccurring in the future.

The Solution
The ECI FiberTech Encasement System was chosen for all of the walls for its waterproofing capabilities and durability. The walls were first coated with ECI’s 4EVERCRETE a penetrating water and vapor barrier that penetrates 6 to 7 inches in concrete forming a colloidal gel that fills all of the voids which hardens and prevents the migration of water and vapor. The walls were then encased with the FiberTech encasement system consisting of FiberTech F-50 Primer and F-51 Sealer Coat. The 4EVERCRETE was also applied to the entire cleaned concrete floor. The owners were extremely satisfied with the results.
