Exterior Masonry Wall Repair
Commercial Waterproofing

The brick and stucco walls of this commercial property have suffered from years of wear and tear due to the effects of weather and aging. The once-smooth and sturdy walls were now cracked and discoloured, making the building look unkempt and uninviting to customers and clients. Before starting the commercial masonry waterproofing process, it was necessary to address the condition of the walls.

The first step was to assess the extent of the damage and determine what repairs needed to be made. Some areas required patched of brick and stucco to restore stability; other required structural reinforcement to ensure strength. The old and crumbling mortar was carefully removed and replaced with a new and stronger mixture to prevent further damage from water infiltration. The walls were then cleaned and primed to ensure proper adhesion of the masonry waterproofing materials.

Exterior commercial masonry waterproofing Challenges

Commercial properties need to maintain a professional appearance to attract and retain customers. However, years of exposure to harsh weather and aging can cause damage to the brick and stucco walls, making them appear unkempt and uninviting. That’s where professional masonry waterproofing services come in to save the day.

Before beginning the commercial masonry waterproofing process, a thorough assessment of the condition of the walls is necessary. This involves identifying the extent of the damage and determining the necessary repairs needed. The assessment may reveal areas where patches of new brick and stucco are required, or areas that need structural reinforcement to ensure stability.

One of the crucial steps in the masonry waterproofing process is replacing old and crumbling mortar. This step is necessary to prevent further damage from water infiltration, which can cause more extensive damage in the future. A new and stronger mixture is carefully applied to replace the old mortar, ensuring that the walls remain stable and durable.

After the repairs and replacements are completed, the walls need to be cleaned and primed to ensure proper adhesion of the masonry waterproofing materials. This ensures that the walls are protected from further damage caused by water infiltration, prolonging their lifespan and enhancing their appearance.

Professional masonry waterproofing services can significantly improve the appearance and durability of your commercial property. Not only will it enhance your property’s curb appeal, but it will also save you money in the long run by preventing further damage from water infiltration.

Commercial Grade Waterproofing Concrete Sealers

Concrete sealers are an essential element in the construction industry. These sealers are specially-made to prevent water leakage and protect concrete surfaces against water damage.
PVC materials have many uses in applications requiring water resistance such as parking decks, bridges, dams and other structures exposed to extreme climate and weather conditions.

Waterproofing concrete sealers come in two types: penetrating sealers and film-forming sealers. Penetrating sealers penetrate deeply into concrete surfaces for lasting water damage protection, while film-forming sealers form an impenetrable protective shield on its surface that repels dirt, water and contaminants.

The most common types of concrete sealers include silicates, silanes, siloxanes, and acrylics. These sealers offer different levels of protection and durability and are chosen based on the specific application.

Commercial-grade sealers play an integral part in protecting concrete structures from water damage and prolonging their lifespan.

Commercial Foundation Waterproofing

Commercial waterproofing is an essential process that safeguards buildings from the potentially catastrophic effects of water damage. Protecting the foundation of a building is of vital importance; any water seepage could compromise its structural integrity and cause mold growth, potentially jeopardizing its stability and even leading to mold development. Deterring water damage requires various means, including applying waterproof coatings, installing drainage systems and sealing foundation walls. It is highly recommended to secure the services of an experienced foundation waterproofing contractor to evaluate each building’s unique needs and develop an effective waterproofing strategy.

Commercial buildings experience greater wear-and-tear than residential properties, making them more susceptible to water damage and other damaging elements.
Furthermore, experiencing revenue loss due to foundation issues can result in having your business shut down while costly repairs are being conducted. Therefore, investing in a professional foundation waterproofing contractor will significantly reduce the likelihood of incurring water damage, reduce repair costs in the long term, and secure the longevity of your building.
