Services
Exterior Waterproofing
Our exterior waterproofing solutions protect foundations from water intrusion using advanced membrane systems and drainage technologies. We apply polymer-enhanced asphalt coatings and install hydrostatic relief boards to create comprehensive moisture barriers. These systems prevent basement flooding while addressing concrete shrinkage cracks through flexible, durable materials that maintain structural integrity over time.
Crawlspace Encapsulation
We transform damp crawlspaces into dry, energy-efficient environments using multi-layer vapor barrier systems. Our encapsulation process includes installing puncture-resistant membranes, sealing all openings, and integrating proper insulation. This comprehensive approach eliminates moisture-related issues while improving indoor air quality and reducing energy costs through better temperature regulation in conditioned spaces.
Concrete Deck Coatings
Our concrete deck coatings provide durable, waterproof surfaces for pedestrian and vehicular traffic using polyurethane-methacrylate technology. These fast-curing systems create slip-resistant finishes that withstand heavy use while protecting underlying structures. Available in decorative and heavy-duty formulations, our coatings offer both functional protection and aesthetic enhancement for commercial and residential applications.
Specialized Digging
We perform precise excavation work for waterproofing projects using specialized equipment and techniques. Our team handles foundation preparation, drainage system installation, and retrofitting operations with minimal property disruption. This service ensures proper grading and access for waterproofing membrane application while maintaining structural integrity during and after excavation processes.
Drainage Systems
Our comprehensive drainage solutions include footer drainage systems and exterior foundation drainage installations. We design and implement customized water diversion systems using high-performance drainage boards and piping networks. These systems effectively manage groundwater pressure while preventing water accumulation against foundation walls through strategic placement and proper slope engineering.
