Capillary Break Solutions

A capillary break is a critical component in any below-grade waterproofing system, designed to prevent moisture from moving upward through porous materials like concrete. Without a proper break, water from the surrounding soil can travel into the foundation by capillary action, increasing the risk of dampness, deterioration, and long-term structural damage.

Teccon installs capillary breaks as part of a complete foundation waterproofing system. Typically applied at the footing or slab level, our methods help block moisture migration before it reaches walls or living spaces. This added layer of protection is especially important in areas with high water tables, fine-grained soils, or poor drainage.

Whether used in new builds or retrofit applications, a capillary break improves the durability of the structure and complements spray-applied membranes like SpraySeal for full-envelope protection.
