Waterproofing your building is one of the most important things you can do to preserve it. Our team at Taylor Waterproofing can inspect your commercial or historical building and help you decide what options and services are best for your property. Without waterproofing measures in place, your building could be at risk.
Risks of Not Waterproofing
- Foundation Can Become Weak – When standing water is surrounding your foundation, it impacts the integrity of the concrete. It can also cause water to get into your HVAC system.
- Bacteria, Mold, and Pests – When leaks happen, wet drywall and other building material are a breeding ground for unwanted bacteria and mold and can also lead to insects finding their way into your building. All of these are health hazards for those who work in your building.
- Water Damage – Along with growing mold, water damage can cause drywall and ceiling materials to become weakened and potentially break.
- Injury or Damage to Property – If something is damaged due to leaks, injury or damage to occupants’ property could occur. Depending on the circumstance, you could be held liable for this injury or damage.
How We Can Help
Since 1995, our team has been dedicated to helping you protect your property and investment by waterproofing and preventing damage. We offer many services to waterproof your building.
Below-Grade Waterproofing
Because concrete is a porous material, it can crack over time, especially if there is water-creating pressure on it. Below-grade waterproofing creates a barrier between the foundation’s concrete and the water or earth. This process is usually done while the building is being constructed, but there are options for already constructed properties.
Deck Coating
If you have a wooden deck on your property, a deck coating may be right for you. Repeated moisture over time can cause it to rot. It can also help prevent injury because the surface will not be as slippery.
Wet Glazing
For waterproofing windows, wet glazing is the best option. This process uses pourable grout to seal the edges where the window and building meet.
Most of the time when we are asked to perform waterproofing services, there is already a leak. While we can help remedy this situation, the time to waterproof your building is before there is an issue. Once a leak is seen or noticed, it could have already done hundreds, if not thousands, dollars worth of damage. To talk to one of our team members about waterproofing options, contact us today!
