Waterproof concrete: Is it enough for protecting foundations? Mon, 05/28/2018 - 13:47. May 28, 2018. Usually the amount of water used in concrete is much more than is required to hydrate the cement. This excess water takes up space in the concrete, forming a network of capillary voids. Creating waterproof concrete.
