01Three Disciplines

One partner for the whole building.

Water and wear attack a building from every direction. We organize our waterproofing and coatings work into three disciplines, so every surface and transition is covered by one accountable contractor.

A

Building Envelope Waterproofing

Investigation, repair and protection of the roof, walls, transitions and below-grade areas that keep water out of the building.

  • Roof waterproofing & roof-to-wall transitions
  • Exterior walls, façades & penetrations
  • Flashing, joints & sealants
  • Below-grade waterproofing
B

Traffic-Bearing Waterproofing

Waterproof membrane and coating systems for surfaces people walk and drive on over occupied or structural space.

  • Decks, balconies & walkways
  • Roof decks & rooftop terraces
  • Podium decks
  • Parking structures
C

Epoxy, Resinous & Specialty Coatings

Industrial floor systems and protective coatings for commercial and industrial facilities, built on proper surface preparation.

  • Commercial & industrial epoxy flooring
  • Polyaspartic & polyurethane coatings
  • Concrete coatings & restoration
  • Coating maintenance & rehabilitation
ABuilding Envelope Waterproofing

Close every path water can take.

Most leaks are not a single failed surface. They are transitions, joints and penetrations where materials meet. Our envelope work treats the roof, walls and below-grade areas as one connected system, informed by assessment technology and built with construction expertise.

Assessment technology

We find the path before we fix it.

Drone imaging, radiometric infrared and photo documentation help locate where water is entering, then findings are verified in the field.

Drone & Infrared Technology →

Roof waterproofing & roof-to-wall transitions

Parapets, curbs and wall transitions detailed so water is shed past the joint.

Exterior walls, façades & penetrations

Water intrusion at cladding, openings and penetrations investigated and repaired.

Flashing, joints & sealants

Failed sealants, expansion joints and flashing replaced with compatible materials.

Foundation & below-grade waterproofing

Appropriate below-grade solutions where site conditions and access allow.

Investigation, repair & restoration

Documented investigation followed by targeted repairs and envelope restoration.

BTraffic-Bearing Waterproofing

Surfaces built to be walked and driven on.

Decks, walkways, podium decks and parking structures protect the space below them while taking daily traffic. They need waterproofing and a wear surface that work together.

Multifamily & commercial

Decks & balconies

Walkable membranes with slip-resistant wear surfaces over occupied space.

Pedestrian surfaces

Elevated walkways

Waterproofing for corridors, breezeways, stairs and landings.

Structures

Parking structures

Appropriate vehicular systems for parking decks and ramps.

Amenity spaces

Roof decks & terraces

Membranes tied into drains, parapets and walls on rooftop amenities.

Plaza level

Podium decks

Waterproofing over garages and occupied space below plaza areas.

Systems

Membranes & protective coatings

Compatible membrane and coating systems selected for each surface.

Simplified, typical build-ups for illustration. Final systems depend on testing, substrate conditions and manufacturer requirements.

    CEpoxy, Resinous & Specialty Coatings

    Floors and surfaces built for work.

    Commercial and industrial floors take traffic, equipment, chemicals and cleaning every day. We prepare the concrete properly and install coating systems matched to how the space is used.

    Floor systems

    • Commercial & industrial epoxy flooring
    • Resinous flooring systems
    • Polyaspartic & polyurethane coatings
    • Concrete floor coatings

    Surfaces & care

    • Surface preparation
    • Compatible concrete restoration
    • Commercial protective surface systems
    • Coating maintenance & rehabilitation

    We do not offer house painting, commercial wall painting, cabinet refinishing or decorative painting. This category focuses on specialized waterproofing and coating systems.

    02Building Asset Protection

    Assess. Protect. Maintain.

    Waterproofing and coatings are part of a long-term plan for the building, not one-time fixes. Our process connects assessment, construction and ongoing care.

    01

    Assess

    Drone imaging, infrared and on-site investigation document conditions and water entry.

    02

    Recommend

    A written scope: repair, restore or replace, with priorities and options.

    03

    Protect

    Repairs, waterproofing and coatings installed by a licensed general contractor.

    04

    Maintain

    Documented baselines and maintenance planning for long-term asset protection.

    04Clear Commitments

    Systems specified for your project.

    We specify waterproofing and coating systems based on the substrate, exposure and project requirements, and we install only the systems we are qualified and appropriately licensed to apply.

    Defined scope

    What we found, what we recommend and what it includes, spelled out before work begins.

    Written warranty terms

    Coverage is stated in your written warranty and any applicable manufacturer warranty, never implied.

    Photo documentation

    Before, during and after photos so you can see exactly what was done.

    05Questions

    Waterproofing & coatings FAQs.

    Answers for property owners, facility managers and HOA boards planning waterproofing or coating work.

    What does Waterproofing & Specialty Coatings include?

    Three areas: building envelope waterproofing (roofs, walls, transitions, joints and below-grade), traffic-bearing waterproofing (decks, walkways, podium decks and parking structures), and epoxy, resinous and specialty floor coatings.

    How is building envelope waterproofing different from a coating?

    A coating protects a surface. Building envelope waterproofing looks at how water moves through the whole building, including roof-to-wall transitions, façades, penetrations, joints and sealants, and closes the paths where it gets in.

    What is a traffic-bearing waterproofing system?

    It is a waterproof membrane with a wear-resistant surface, designed for areas people walk or drive on over occupied or structural space, such as balconies, podium decks and parking structures.

    How do you find the source of water intrusion?

    We combine on-site investigation with tools such as drone imaging, radiometric infrared and photo documentation, then verify findings in the field before recommending repairs.

    Which coating and waterproofing systems do you install?

    We specify systems based on the substrate, exposure and project requirements, and we install only systems we are qualified and appropriately licensed to apply. Manufacturer-specific systems are confirmed during the proposal.
