Building protection experts – all-rounders in the private sector

The profession of the building protection specialist has only recently been recognized as an official trade with a promising future. These specialists are skilled tradespeople tasked with identifying damage to buildings and structures, carrying out proper repairs and preventing future deterioration. Their work ensures that buildings remain safe, stable and habitable for the long term – turning damage into healthy and functional living spaces.

 

Their role includes making accurate diagnoses – for example, identifying moisture issues or structural deficiencies – and selecting and implementing the appropriate remediation measures. As the need for renovation in the existing building stock rises, along with increasing moisture damage and growing sustainability demands, building protection is becoming more important. Effective building protection extends the lifespan of structures and plays a key role in maintaining their value.

 

More than products: solutions and partnerships

Those working in building protection face individual challenges every day – from damage analysis to selecting suitable materials and carrying out the work properly. To handle these tasks effectively and efficiently, more is needed than just a functioning product. What matters most are product systems tailored to actual on-site conditions and reliable contacts who can provide assistance when needed.

 

That’s why MC-Bauchemie relies on a direct, personal and specialized sales force focused on building protection. There are no agents – customers are supported directly by dedicated field representatives familiar with the demands of the profession. This ensures closer coordination, whether it’s selecting the right products, resolving technical questions or offering on-site support.

 

Direct contact – direct benefit

Especially with complex applications – such as injection technology or multilayer sealing systems – it is helpful to have access to in-depth experience and reliable support. In these situations, MC’s direct sales model provides real added value to building protection specialists. Direct exchange, personal dialogue and hands-on training designed around real-world requirements support professionals in their day-to-day work.

 

MC’s high-quality and proven product systems, combined with fast delivery times, also contribute to reliable planning for building protection professionals across Germany. Many applicators appreciate having a dedicated contact person and receiving their materials directly from MC.

 

System solutions for everyday building protection

Renovation projects in existing buildings often come with unexpected challenges. When dealing with moisture damage or leaks, a quick yet structured approach is essential – not least to ensure economical and sustainable outcomes. That’s why MC relies on clearly defined system solutions that combine compatible components and processes that have proven themselves in practice – from interior and exterior sealing to injection systems, balcony, garage and basement floor renovation, as well as systems for utility basements and joint/concrete repair.

 

Interior sealing of damaged basement walls

When basement walls are inaccessible from the outside due to surrounding buildings or overbuilds, interior sealing is the only practical alternative. By cleverly combining compatible products, high-quality living spaces can be created. These systems are applied in multiple steps and are designed to work together reliably.

 

The process for sealing basement walls against non-pressing water starts with surface preparation and removal of the existing plaster. This is followed by a hydrophobic horizontal barrier using either Emcephob HSC or Emcephob HSL-W. The substrate is then levelled and smoothed, for example with Nafufill RM 10 as a levelling mortar and to create a cove joint. For sealing against negative water pressure, a mineral slurry like MC-Proof 101 HS is applied in multiple layers, and the walls are finished with the MC-Plaster renovation render system.

 

Depending on the structure-specific conditions, MC-Bauchemie’s wide product range enables targeted, object-specific sealing solutions tailored to individual needs, ensuring maximum reliability and durability, whether using injection systems, reactive sealants or repair mortars.

 

Sealing the exterior against moisture using PMBC and FPD technologies

Exterior sealing remains one of the most effective methods of basement waterproofing, typically carried out by qualified building protection experts. Depending on the application, two technologies are available: PMBC (polymer modified bituminous thick coatings) and FPD (flexible polymer modified thick coatings). MC-Bauchemie offers a wide range of solutions for both systems.

 

In summer, for instance, the new reactive waterproofing product MC-Proof 800 next is ideal – its extended working time ensures safe application even at higher temperatures. Alternatively, tried-and-tested products like MC-Proof eco or the single-component MC-Proof one can be used depending on the project. Various bitumen-based sealing options are also available – including polystyrene-filled, single-component or two-component systems that can be sprayed or trowelled on to suit a wide range of site conditions. The sealing systems are complemented by coordinated components such as Nafufill RM 10 rapid for cove joints or Nafuflex GIP as a bonding primer. These complete systems ensure practical, long-lasting and secure waterproofing, while also contributing to the building’s energy performance.

 

Reliable waterproofing with injection technology

In the field of injection technology, MC-Bauchemie offers world-leading injection systems for targeted repair of cracks, joints, voids and capillary-damp masonry – systems valued by building protection experts for their lasting sealing and stabilizing effects. For sealing voids inside a structure, various injection resins and systems are used. A standout product is MC-Injekt PowerSeal G – a single-component, highly elastic injection resin that is easy to handle and quickly and permanently stops water ingress. MC-Injekt 2300 flow, a ductile-elastic resin, is suitable for flexible, long-term sealing in concrete and masonry. For small, quick jobs, MC-Fastpack is the solution of choice – this injection and adhesive system includes various reactive resins ideal for sealing cracks and joints, bonding packers and components and immediate sealing in case of water ingress. All systems allow for targeted, material-appropriate repair and help ensure the long-term integrity of the structure.

 

Solutions for balcony, garage and basement and joint repairs

For balcony renovations, MC-Bauchemie provides coordinated sealing and coating systems based on MC-DUR TopSpeed technology. These systems allow for rapid application with high protection and design flexibility. For basement and garage floors, tough, coloured coatings are available that offer moisture resistance and slip resistance. In utility basements, depending on moisture or salt exposure, special plaster systems are used that regulate moisture or resist salt damage. MC also offers certified joint sealing systems and durable concrete repair solutions – from elastic joint tapes to fibre-reinforced repair mortars for load-bearing components.

 

Conclusion and outlook

Building protection is a demanding field characterized by unique damage scenarios, complex structures and high client expectations. Success here requires not only technical expertise but also trust in the materials and systems used.

 

MC takes a clear approach: not the most products, but well-structured systems that have proven themselves in practice. These are applied consistently – in dialogue with customers. Because what matters isn’t just the product, but the interplay of application, support and reliability. MC’s close ties to the market, hands-on training and short communication paths make it easier to find solutions – even for challenging construction sites.

 

MC’s direct sales model is not an end in itself but reflects a mindset to show commitment, not only to the materials, but also to ensuring successful on-site outcomes. Feedback from building protection specialists shows that the goal isn’t to reinvent everything, but to support quality work with well-thought-out solutions, technical know-how and a listening ear.
