Commercial Exterior Waterproofing Services

Commercial buildings, whether they’re skyscrapers with several offices or sprawling shopping malls with thousands of people working through them, face constant exposure to the elements. Rain, wind, snow, and even temperature fluctuations can lead to significant damage if not properly addressed. Exterior waterproofing plays a pivotal role in safeguarding these structures, ensuring their longevity and protecting the valuable assets within.

Why is Exterior Waterproofing Important?

Structural Integrity: Waterproofing prevents moisture from penetrating the building’s exterior, which can lead to decay, corrosion, and structural weakening.
Energy Efficiency: A well-waterproofed building can significantly reduce energy consumption by preventing moisture-related issues like mold growth and insulation degradation.
Aesthetics: Waterproofing helps maintain the building’s appearance by preventing unsightly water stains, efflorescence, and other signs of deterioration.
Property Value: A well-maintained building with effective waterproofing can command a higher property value and attract potential buyers or tenants.

Common Exterior Waterproofing Methods

Here are popular methods that we use:

1. Sealants and Coatings:

Silicone-based sealants: Ideal for sealing joints, cracks, and gaps in masonry and concrete.
Acrylic-based coatings: Provide a protective barrier against moisture and UV rays.
Elastomeric coatings: Offer excellent flexibility and durability, making them suitable for waterproofing roofs and foundations.

2. Membrane Systems:

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) membranes: Known for their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) membranes: Offer a cost-effective solution with good chemical resistance.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) membranes: Combine the benefits of EPDM and PVC, providing excellent performance and longevity.

3. Foundation Waterproofing:

Drainage systems: Redirect groundwater away from the foundation.
Hydrostatic pressure relief: Equalizes pressure on the foundation walls.
Waterproof coatings: Create a protective barrier against moisture.

4. Parapet Waterproofing:

Metal flashing: Provides a physical barrier against water penetration.
Sealant systems: Create a waterproof seal around parapets and other vertical surfaces.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Waterproofing Method

Building type and materials: The specific materials and construction methods used in the building will influence the most suitable waterproofing approach.
Local climate and weather conditions: The prevailing climate and weather patterns will determine the level of protection required.
Budget: Waterproofing costs can vary depending on the chosen method and the extent of the work.
Maintenance requirements: Some waterproofing systems may require more regular maintenance than others.
