Why waterproof concrete?
Waterproof concrete is necessary for a variety of applications, including basements, retaining walls, swimming pools and ponds, to ensure a damp-proof and watertight finish. Benefits of waterproof concrete include:
- Keeps water out, or in, as required
- Reduced risk of reinforcement corrosion
- Enhanced long term performance including increased durability
- Reduced water and vapour permeability
How do you test how waterproof the concrete is?
The most common measure is the water cement ratio (w/c). Water Cement Ratio = Total Water / Cement
The optimum range for this w/c ratio, with good workability and high compressive strength, is generally thought to be between 0.35 – 0.40, with most concretes being in the 0.375 – 0.400 w/c range.
If the mix has too little water it becomes very difficult to place and compact and hydraulicity from excess water can be an issue even when using admixtures such as superplasticisers or air entraining agents to try and ‘dilute’ the excess water causing problems later in the pour. For highly waterproof mixes, too much water is not desirable as it can cause problems in placing and compaction or even lead to segregation of aggregate particles.

Not sure what you need?
Working out the amount of concrete you need for a job can be difficult to do, especially if it’s your first time using it for a project. Ending up with too much concrete volume can be unnecessarily costly, and ending up with too little means delays to your work. Luckily, our concrete calculator (UK) solves all your estimation problems and lets you know exactly how much concrete you’ll need for your project.
Whether it’s the amount of ready mixed concrete to be used for concrete slabs, or working out how much needs to be combined with coarse aggregate, we’ve got the solution.
