Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)
ICF Waterproofing Made Simple with Basecrete
The ICF building age is here—bringing smarter, stronger, more efficient construction. But even the best ICF systems need protection from water and chemical intrusion.
That’s where Basecrete comes in. Fast-drying, cost-effective, and incredibly strong, Basecrete is the waterproofing solution built for modern ICF builds.
ICF Pool Waterproofing
ICF pools are gaining popularity for their energy efficiency and structural strength, but without proper waterproofing, foam forms can degrade quickly. Basecrete bonds directly to EPS foam, creating a seamless, watertight membrane that resists chlorine, UV exposure, and hydrostatic pressure. With no primer needed, and fast cure times, Basecrete is the go-to solution for protecting ICF pools from the inside out.
ICF Foundations
ICF foundations need extra defense against moisture intrusion, especially in below-grade environments. Basecrete forms a flexible, crack-bridging waterproofing layer that seals the surface and prevents long-term water damage, mold growth, and insulation breakdown. It adheres directly to foam and concrete, eliminating multi-step systems and reducing labor on-site.
ICF Exterior Walls
ICF walls are high-performance—but exposed foam is vulnerable to UV rays, surface damage, and chemical erosion. Basecrete adds a durable protective skin that’s finish-ready for stucco, EIFS, or textured coatings. It reinforces the wall system while maintaining breathability and long-term integrity.

When you want to repair a crack, solidify a corner or strengthen an area, the combination of BASECRETE and our unique fiberglass mesh is the perfect solution. Our reinforcing 4.5 oz standard fiberglass mesh is made of multi-strand interwoven glass fibers.
Basecrete Xtreme is a high-performance waterproof bondcoat system ideal for ICF/EPS and CMU block applications, where it forms a durable barrier against water intrusion. Designed to simplify installation, it eliminates the need for mesh. Supplied as a kit (one bucket of Basecrete Original and 3 Xtreme bags), it delivers reliable protection with a crack-resistant finish.
SEAL is a Polyurethane Waterproof Sealant that is paintable, fast-curing, single-component adhesive/sealant for industrial and construction applications.
Why Basecrete for ICF?
