Torch-On Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing
High-performance torch-on membrane systems for extreme environments

Torch-On Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing

At Grupo Eleven Solutions®, we deliver advanced waterproofing systems engineered to safeguard structures exposed to heavy moisture, extreme weather, and intensive use. Torch-on bituminous membrane rolls provide a proven, resilient barrier for roofs, underground walls, and deep foundations. With over 35 years of industry experience, we deploy systems approved by leading manufacturers that ensure high performance and extended service life, protecting your commercial, industrial, or hospitality real estate assets against water damage and deterioration.

Handled exclusively by specialized, skilled labor, our torch-down installations establish a fully adhered, seamless waterproofing shield across flat concrete decks and subterranean footings. We utilize products holding national and international certifications that guarantee reliable physical and chemical stability under aggressive climatic conditions. Furthermore, our dedicated team provides a free on-site inspection and diagnosis, backing every completed project with a comprehensive written warranty for long-term peace of mind.

What is Bituminous Roll Waterproofing and How Does It Work?

Bituminous rolls are prefabricated waterproofing membranes manufactured with polymer-modified bitumen reinforced with non-woven polyester or fiberglass mats. This combination delivers exceptional tensile strength, puncture resistance, and elongation capability to accommodate building movement and thermal expansion. The membrane functions as an impenetrable barrier that prevents standing water, heavy tropical rainfall, and subterranean hydrostatic pressure from infiltrating structural concrete slabs, foundation footings, and retaining walls.

Installation is accomplished through torch application, where controlled heat melts the bottom asphalt compound, fusing the roll securely to the primed substrate and overlapping adjacent sheets. This thermal fusion eliminates vulnerable seams, forming a uniform, continuous monolithic blanket over horizontal or vertical planes. These membranes are ideal for exposed roofs featuring mineral granule surfaces as well as below-grade foundations that demand heavy-duty water exclusion.

Our process Torch-On Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing

01

Substrate Preparation

We thoroughly clean the concrete surface, address cracks, level uneven areas, and apply an asphalt primer to ensure optimal adhesion for the torch-on membrane.

02

Roll Alignment and Layout

Membrane rolls are unrolled and aligned across the deck, ensuring standardized longitudinal and lateral overlaps to maintain continuous water shedding toward drainage channels.

03

Torch-Down Thermal Fusion

Using specialized torches, we apply controlled heat to liquefy the asphalt backing, firmly pressing the membrane to achieve full bonding and completely sealed seams.

04

Detailing and Inspection

Critical flashings, roof drains, pipe penetrations, and parapets are sealed with reinforced detailing, followed by rigorous quality checks before issuing your written warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Where can bituminous membrane systems be installed?

Torch-on bituminous membranes are versatile and well suited for flat or sloped commercial roofs, underground retaining walls, structural foundations, and parking decks. Their elastic and durable composition effectively shields concrete structures against persistent moisture and hydrostatic pressure.

What is the difference between polyester and fiberglass reinforcement?

Polyester-reinforced membranes provide superior tensile strength and elongation, making them ideal for surfaces subject to thermal expansion and structural movement. Fiberglass-reinforced membranes offer high dimensional stability, making them an excellent choice for stable roofs and subterranean waterproofing applications.

How is installation quality and long-term durability guaranteed?

We apply systems approved by leading manufacturers using products with national and international certifications. Our specialized technicians follow rigorous torching protocols to eliminate seam defects, and all our projects are backed by a formal written warranty for guaranteed performance.

How do I schedule a technical site inspection?

You can reach out directly to our engineering team to request a free inspection and diagnosis. We will assess your facility in Cancun or the Riviera Maya and formulate the most effective bituminous roll waterproofing strategy tailored to your structural requirements.
