Elevators

The Challenge

Elevator Pit Water Intrusion

Elevator pits are the lowest point in any building—and typically sit below the water table. What begins as minor moisture becomes a compounding cycle of structural decay.

What you see

—

Water pooling on pit floor

—

Weeping and wet walls

—

Efflorescence and mineral staining

Service Interruptions

Unplanned shutdowns, emergency calls, tenant disruption—and the liability that follows.

Equipment Damage

Flooding compromises buffers, limit switches, and hydraulics. Repair costs routinely reach five figures.

The Cause

A Cumulative Failure Inside the Concrete

Water intrusion isn't a surface problem— it's a capillary system failure that worsens with every cycle.

Initial Moisture Entry

Water penetrates the capillary network and spreads laterally through pore pathways.

↓

Saturation Deepens

Drying time slows. Concrete stays wet longer, trapping moisture and contaminants.

↓

Microcracks Form

Pore pathways connect. Freeze-thaw cycles and thermal movement widen the cracks.

↓

Rebar Corrosion Begins

Chlorides reach reinforcing steel. Structural integrity is silently compromised.

Each occurrence is more aggressive than the last.
The damage is not reversible.

The Solution

The CreteCare Pro Difference

Deep Internal Barrier

Penetrates deep into the capillary network—blocking moisture at the source, not just the surface.

Dual-Side Protection

Engineered for below-grade structures—stops moisture from exterior groundwater pressure and interior pooling.

Moisture Displacement

Works on wet and weeping walls— moves moisture out from both sides to restore the natural drying cycle.

Moves with the Structure

Stays fluid within the pores—adapts to thermal movement and freeze- thaw cycles with no cracking or peeling.

Protects What You Can't See

Independent testing: 89% chloride reduction at rebar depth (0.5"–1.0"). Structural integrity preserved.

Eliminates Buildup Cycles

Actively repels water and chlorides— reducing dwell time inside the concrete and stopping cumulative damage.

CreteCare Pro — A Living Internal Barrier That Penetrates Deep and Moves Within Concrete, Continuously Blocking Water, Chemicals, Sulfates & Acids. Protecting the Concrete, Preventing Corrosion and Preserving the Steel Substrate Before Damage Begins.
