HOW DAMFIX WET WORKS
DAMFIX Wet is a water-reactive solution that works by sealing active leaks quickly and effectively without draining the dam. When applied, it reacts with water to form a durable, impermeable barrier that blocks the flow of water through cracks, fissures, or porous zones by binding with the soil.
This makes it ideal for addressing:
• Seepage through the dam’s embankment or foundation.
• Piping, where soil erosion creates dangerous channels for water flow.
• Emergency leaks that require immediate attention.
SUCCESS STORY: North-West University’s Dam
One remarkable example of DAMFIX Wet’s effectiveness comes from the North-West University (NWU) Vanderbijlpark Campus, where an12,000m² dam faced severe leakage. Pools of water were forming on the opposite side of the dam wall, indicating significant seepage.
The dam was treated with DAMFIX Wet, and the results were astounding. Within just one week, the leaks were sealed, and the pools of water had drained and dried completely. This swift and effective repair not only saved the dam but also ensured the campus could continue using it for its intended purposes without further disruption.
