SUPERSEAL Dimpled Foundation Membrane Installation Instructions
SUPERSEAL Dimpled Foundation Membrane is a waterproofing/dampproofing and drainage layer all-in-one, for use on all
foundations. A foundation drainage system must be incorporated with the membrane to allow water and moisture to
be drained away. It is advised to install SUPERSEAL Dimpled Foundation Membrane before the drain stone. Some site soil
conditions may not require a drainage system. Consult your city official.
SUPERSEAL Dimpled Foundation Membrane has been tested to ASTM & CGSB Standards by a certified independant labratory, that is
approved by CCMC & ICC, to and exceed the following: Canadian Construction Materials Center (CCMC) requirements 07111 & 02622.1
for use with National Building Code (NBC) sections 9.13.3 & 9.14.2.1 CCMC# 13099R & 13098R. Also the International Code Council
(ICC-ES) requirement EG-114 to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) Sections R406.1 and R406.2. and IBC Section 1806.4
