Parking garages are large structures that require a healthy amount of maintenance in all aspects, and prevention of water damage is no exception. Water damage can cause major damage to parking garages, but investing in waterproofing solutions protects your structure and ensures that it will be operating smoothly for years to come. Waterproofing a parking structure prevents structural damage to the concrete and allows you to fully utilize your investment by cutting out disruptions that could occur as a result of damage.
Parking Garage Deck Coating: Parking garages are constantly exposed to the elements, so waterproofing decks is important to ensure that water damage doesn’t occur. Water infiltration can occur in the concrete layer of a parking structure, causing cracks, spalling, scaling, and corrosion. Generally, sealants and coatings are used to provide a waterproof layer to parking garage decks, protecting them from water damage that could occur.
Parking Garage Expansion Joint Sealant: Expansion joints are vitally important in a parking garage, as they allow the concrete to shift as the temperature changes without causing cracks. Moisture infiltrating expansion joints can damage the concrete over time, leading to expensive repairs. Sealants provide a waterproof layer to expansion joints that prevent this from occurring and protect the parking structure.
Chemical Grout Injections: Chemical grout injections can be a cost-effective, long-lasting, and water-resistant method to seal cracks in parking structures. This mixture of polymer resins solidifies and prevents water from entering through small cracks, maintaining the structural integrity of the parking garage. Chemical grout injection is a great option for smaller cracks that may not need an entire sealant replacement.
