water stoppers

waterstops, not water seals. Waterstops are used to create a watertight seal in concrete construction joints to prevent the passage of water. They are typically made from PVC, rubber, or other flexible materials and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different applications.

Here's some more information about waterstops:

• Purpose: They are primarily used to prevent water leakage in concrete structures such as basements, tunnels, dams, water tanks, sewage treatment plants, and swimming pools.
• Types: Waterstops come in various types, including dumbbell, center bulb, split dumbbell, shark fin, and many others. Each type has its own unique design and application.
• Material: The most common materials used for waterstops are PVC and rubber, due to their flexibility, durability, and water resistance.
• Installation: Waterstops are typically embedded within the concrete joint during construction. They can be installed using various methods such as welding, adhesive bonding, or mechanical fastening.
• Benefits: Waterstops provide a reliable and effective way to prevent water leakage, which can lead to structural damage, corrosion, and mold growth.
