2. Do not use water to flush the TUFF-N-DRI Membrane. This will "shock" the emulsion and cause ' <br /> it to break in the lines. A soap solution consisting of'/2 cup Dawn dishwashing liquid per gallon <br /> of water may be used to remove uncured liquid material. ' <br /> 3. Mineral spirits, toluene and most other solvents are flammable and/or hazardous. Be sure to <br /> check with the suppliers of these solvents for the correct safety and handling procedures and ' <br /> follow the supplier's recommendations when using clean up solvents. <br /> Transportation � <br /> TUFF-N-DRI membrane is classified as a non-hazardous emulsion and does not require placarding. ' <br /> Foundation Troubleshooting <br /> Troubleshooting a foundation to determine if a leak is penetrating through the TUFF-N-DRI Full System is ' <br /> very important. The standard troubleshooting procedure for below grade waterproofing is called a water <br /> test, or flood test. A water test isolates water from a garden hose directly into the waterproofing system, <br /> introducing the water to only the below-grade treated area of the foundation. To water test a suspect area ' <br /> on any type of below-grade foundation wall, follow these basic steps: <br /> 1. Locate the suspect area on the outside of the foundation. This may require measuring the � <br /> problem area on the inside of the foundation wall. A picture of the suspect area should be taken. <br /> 2. Using a shovel, dig a small trench approximately three feet wide in the suspect area. Expose the � <br /> top four to five inches of the TUFF-N-DRI System. This will also give the applicator a good idea <br /> of any over-grading that may have occurred. <br /> water from the arden hose directl into the trench. Ensure that no water ets above the ' <br /> 3. Isolate g y 9 <br /> final waterproofing grade line. Note the time, and run water for up to 30 minutes. � <br /> 4. Check the suspect area in the basement every few minutes. If the suspect area begins to show <br /> water penetration during or immediately after the water testing, it proves that the waterproofing , <br /> membrane is allowing water to penetrate through it. Further investigations may be necessary to <br /> determine why the waterproofing membrane did not function properly. <br /> 5. If the suspect area does not show water penetration, there may be other issues causing the , <br /> water penetration into the foundation. Other issues include, but are not limited to, brick ledge <br /> leaks, wind driven rain seeping into block above grade, window leaks, penetration leaks, and ' <br /> above grade cracks in foundation walls or stucco. <br /> 6. Before and after pictures are good ideas for a waterproofing applicator during investigations. ' <br /> 7.
