Chose Material Depth and Thickness: 30 Mil Thickness - 12" x 100' Roll
HDPE Wall Water Barrier

Our HDPE wall water barrier is a heavy-duty waterproof sheet that blocks subterranean water and keeps surface water from pooling against basement, retaining, and foundation walls.

Installed below grade against the wall being protected, it forms a dependable barrier that keeps ground water out of the structure. The HDPE material conforms to gradual curves and corners, cuts easily with a utility knife, and joins vertically or horizontally using HDPE seam tape and adhesive.

Available in thicknesses from 30 to 100 mil and heights from 10" to 96" to suit walls of any depth, with samples offered in every thickness. Made in the USA, it can also be used as a root barrier for trees, bamboo, and weeds.

Water & Moisture Barrier — HDPE

Our exterior-grade heavy duty waterproof HDPE material is an ideal solution for limiting subterranean water movement while preventing surface water from pooling against foundations, walls, and other structures. The HDPE sheet material is typically installed below grade, adjacent to the structure being protected, and acts as a reliable water / moisture barrier for foundations, basements, crawl spaces, and retaining walls.

The barrier can be bent and can conform to curves and corners granted that turns are accomplished with a radius. Because of the thickness of the material a perfect 90 degree turn cannot be made.

HDPE water barrier installed along a wall

Installed for Easy Inspection

The barrier in this installation was installed a few inches away from the wall to allow for an occasional visual inspection to ensure that water was not flowing around the barrier and pooling against the structure.

How most of our customers install

Most of our customers dig a trench either right along the structure or right next to the wall. They drop in the plastic barrier leaving a few inches exposed above grade which holds back any pooling water. The trench is then backfilled and the dirt holds the barrier in place. No adhesive is required in this installation.

Attaching to a wall

Some of our customers inquire about needing to permanently adhere the barrier to a wall. For this installation type we recommend using a peel and stick product such as subseal. This product has an adhesive backing and will stick to a primed and cleaned wall. Subseal can be overlapped and “stacked” for very tall walls. For tall installations we generally recommend choosing a single taller roll where possible, since a large horizontal seam is laborious to install and is the most likely spot for water penetration over time.

Holding the HDPE in place on a tall installation

Some of our customers run into a situation where they are using the HDPE to waterproof and require that the plastic is affixed to the wall prior to back filling. The vertical instant lock adhesive bonds to both the HDPE and concrete and can hold the barrier in place until the area is ready to be backfilled.

Seaming the Barrier

If more than a 100' length is required the barrier can be joined. In order to provide the best joint possible we suggest that both the HDPE seam tape and adhesive is used. Use 1 roll of tape and 1 tube of adhesive for 18" and 24" heights and double that amount for taller barriers. To create the best seam possible overlap the HDPE by 4' and in the overlap place multiple vertical strips of the double sided seam tape and then multiple lines of the adhesive. Press the two sides together for approximately 1 minute and a solid seam will be made. Keep in mind that even when done correctly the seam is the weakest link in the water barrier and over time the most prone spot to leak. Whenever possible avoid seaming the material for the best result.

Other Applications

HDPE water barrier can also be used as a root barrier for trees, bamboo and weeds. When used as a root barrier, the HDPE sheet effectively prevents the plant's root from spreading throughout the landscape.
