What is red polyurea lining?
Polyurea lining is a highly versatile waterproofing solution, prized for its watertightness, flexibility, and ability to form a continuous, seamless barrier to protect your foundation from water infiltration.
The 100% pure red polyurea lining is unique and exclusive to Bisson Expert. Sprayed on in just a few minutes, it adheres effectively to surfaces and dries quickly after application to your foundation.
Its elasticity allows it to absorb movement and resist shocks that cause cracks and water infiltration. Its durability can exceed 50 years, giving you long-term peace of mind.
Why choose red polyurea for your foundations?
Superior waterproofing: The red polyurea creates a continuous barrier, without joints or fasteners in the foundation, which completely blocks water infiltration. Its effectiveness exceeds that of bituminous membrane or dimpled membrane (such as Delta MS).
Exceptional resistance: The red lining is resistant to abrasion, wear, UV rays, extreme cold, and natural ground movement.
Sustainable investment: With a lifespan of up to 50 years or more, you avoid repair costs and enjoy reliable protection for your home’s foundation.

Polyurea lining:
the best option for all types of foundations
Polyurea lining can be adapted to different types of foundations. Whether your foundation is made of poured concrete, rubble stone (natural stone), or concrete blocks, our exclusive polyurea lining will protect your house from water infiltration.
When you choose Bisson Expert’s red lining, you’re choosing long-lasting protection that will keep your foundation dry at all times.
Waterproofing rubble stone foundations
Rubble stone foundations are made of natural stones that are either uncut or slightly cut. These stones are laid on top of each other and bound together with mortar. Often found in older homes, rubble stone foundations can be prone to water infiltration problems.
In addition to blocking infiltration, applying a polyurea lining to your rubble foundation transforms the pile of stones into a completely smooth and waterproof surface.
