Step 1: Detailed Site Assessment

A detailed site assessment is conducted to evaluate your property's foundation and identify any potential vulnerabilities to water intrusion. This thorough inspection helps pinpoint specific challenges and conditions, enabling our experts to devise the most effective waterproofing strategies tailored to your building's unique needs.

Step 2: Tailored Waterproofing Plan Development

We develop a tailored waterproofing plan that addresses the specific needs and challenges identified. This strategy includes selecting appropriate waterproofing materials and methods that best suit your property's conditions. By customizing our approach, we ensure that the implemented solutions provide optimal protection against moisture and enhance the durability of your foundation.

Step 3: Preparation and Surface Treatment

In this phase, we prepare the foundation surfaces for waterproofing by cleaning and repairing any existing damage such as cracks or erosion. This preparation ensures that the waterproofing materials adhere properly and function effectively. We might also modify the landscape to improve drainage around the foundation, further enhancing the effectiveness of the waterproofing treatment.

Step 4: Application of Waterproofing Materials

During this critical stage, high-quality waterproofing materials are meticulously applied to the prepared surfaces of your foundation. Depending on the specific requirements and conditions, this may involve rolling on sealants, installing waterproof membranes, or injecting hydrophobic materials into cracks. This process is carefully managed to ensure thorough coverage and optimal protection against water penetration.

Step 5: Quality Inspection and Finalization

Once the waterproofing materials have been applied, a comprehensive quality inspection is conducted to ensure that all treatments have been properly implemented and are functioning as intended. This inspection checks for any overlooked areas or potential flaws in the waterproofing layer. Upon successful verification, the project is finalized, and the site is cleaned up, leaving your foundation securely protected against water damage.

Interior Waterproofing

Interior waterproofing is a crucial service designed to prevent moisture from seeping into your basement or building interior. Our approach includes sealing cracks, applying waterproof coatings, and installing drainage systems inside your property to manage and redirect water away efficiently. This proactive strategy not only protects the structural integrity of your building but also creates a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.
Exterior Waterproofing

Exterior waterproofing involves treating the outside surfaces of your building's foundation to prevent water from penetrating and causing damage. Our process includes applying durable, weather-resistant coatings, installing efficient drainage solutions, and repairing any exterior cracks or vulnerabilities. This comprehensive approach ensures your foundation remains dry and protected from the elements, significantly enhancing the longevity and safety of your structure.
Crack Injection and Repair

Crack injection and repair is a precise technique used to seal cracks in your foundation and prevent water ingress. We utilize high-quality resins and sealants that are injected directly into the cracks, effectively bonding the fissures and restoring the structural integrity of the walls. This method not only blocks moisture but also strengthens the affected areas, ensuring long-term protection against further damage.

Installing reliable sump pump systems plays a crucial role in managing and preventing water accumulation in your basement or lower building levels. Our service includes setting up efficient pumps that actively redirect water away from your foundation, complete with backup solutions and alarms to ensure functionality during power failures, offering consistent protection against potential water damage.
Drainage Solutions

Effective drainage solutions are key to maintaining a dry and stable foundation. We design and install customized drainage systems that effectively channel water away from your building’s structure. This includes grading the landscape, adding French drains, or integrating trench and channel drains to divert water effectively. These systems help prevent water accumulation and protect against moisture-related issues, ensuring the longevity of your property.
