Remedial Waterproofing
Water intrusion is more than an inconvenience for property owners and tenants. Left unchecked, it can damage structural elements and shorten the useful life of buildings, parking garages, and plaza decks.
Here is a list of remedial waterproofing services that Western Specialty Contractors offers:
- Above- and Below-Grade Waterproofing: This involves applying waterproofing systems to all areas of a building’s exterior, both above and below the ground level, to prevent water intrusion.
- Building Cleaning and Sealing: This service focuses on cleaning the building’s facade to remove dirt, grime, and pollutants, followed by the application of clear sealers to protect the surfaces from moisture penetration.
- Caulking and Sealants: This is a critical service that involves the application and replacement of sealant joints on a building’s exterior. These are the first line of defense against water getting into the building.
- Coatings: Western applies a variety of waterproof coatings to different surfaces. This includes traffic coatings for parking garages and wall coatings to protect vertical surfaces from weather and water damage.
- Concrete Restoration: While a broader category, it’s a key part of remedial waterproofing. This involves repairing and restoring concrete that has been damaged by water, weather, or other factors to bring back its strength and durability.
- Expansion Joint Repair: This service focuses on repairing and replacing expansion joints, which are designed to absorb movement in a building. If these joints fail, they can be a major source of water leaks.
- Interior Waterproofing Systems: In addition to the exterior, Western also installs waterproofing systems inside a building to manage any water that may have already penetrated the outer shell.
- Waterproofing Membrane Installation: This involves the application of sheet or liquid-applied membranes that create a continuous waterproof barrier on surfaces like plaza decks and foundation walls.
