Persistent Convention Center Leak Solved with Belzona 3111
Facility: Convention Center
Application: Below-Grade Flashing Repair
Product: Belzona 3111 (Flexible Membrane)
Solution Provider: DBR Associates – Exclusive Authorized Belzona Distributor
Project Overview
A convention center had struggled with a constant water leak originating from below-grade flashing. Previous repair attempts had failed, allowing water to continue entering the building.
DBR Associates identified the source and recommended Belzona 3111, a flexible, liquid-applied waterproofing membrane.
The Challenge
The below-grade location made the leak difficult to identify, access, and repair. The system needed to:
- Seal the flashing and surrounding transitions
- Bond securely to the prepared surfaces
- Accommodate normal structural movement
- Prevent water from migrating behind the repair
- Provide a lasting alternative to repeated patching
The Belzona Solution
The flashing was exposed, cleaned, and properly prepared. Belzona 3111 was then applied with reinforcement to create a continuous waterproof membrane across the flashing and adjoining surfaces.
Because it is liquid-applied, Belzona 3111 followed the flashing’s contours and sealed the joints and transitions without leaving vulnerable seams or edges.
The Result
The Belzona system successfully stopped a persistent leak that other repair methods had been unable to solve.
Key benefits included:
- Seamless waterproof protection
- Excellent flexibility and adhesion
- No hot work required
- Ability to seal complex details
- Reduced recurring maintenance
- Protection against continued interior water damage
