Keep water where it belongs
Waterproofing & Building Protection
Plan waterproofing around the surfaces, joints, transitions, and drainage conditions that affect your property. Coordinate preparation and compatible systems for residential, condominium, and commercial projects, from localized repairs to broader improvements.
A clear scope makes a better start
Build the right plan
for your property.
Water intrusion can travel beyond the point where it becomes visible. Effective planning starts with reviewing the affected area, likely pathways, existing materials, and drainage conditions. Waterproofing work may involve surface preparation, joint treatment, coatings, membranes, or related repairs, depending on the location and specifications. A defined scope also considers access, weather conditions, curing, and the interfaces between the new system and adjoining building components before installation begins.
Project scope may include
- Exterior waterproofing scope review
- Balcony and deck waterproofing
- Joint and sealant coordination
- Protective membrane and coating systems
- Substrate preparation and related repairs
- Drainage and building-transition coordination
What to consider before you begin
- Review the location and history of leaks before selecting a system.
- Check substrate condition, slope, drainage, joints, and transitions.
- Allow for preparation, suitable weather, curing, and manufacturer requirements.
Your questions, answered
A little clarity before you start.
Can you waterproof over an existing coating?
Sometimes, but compatibility and substrate condition must be checked first. Existing materials may need testing, preparation, partial removal, or full removal before a suitable new system can be specified.
Is waterproofing the same as exterior painting?
No. They can be related, but they serve different functions. A waterproofing scope addresses water-management requirements with appropriate materials and details; a paint finish alone may not resolve intrusion.
