2. Custom Plan Development: Our team will create a customized exterior waterproofing plan based on our evaluation. We will then discuss your options with you to ensure you understand their benefits and necessities.

Benefits of Waterproofing

• Prevents Critical Structural Damage: Water leaks, flooding, contaminant leaks, and mold and mildew impact a building’s structural integrity. Waterproofing prevents all of this and the costly repairs associated with water damage.
  
  
• Better Property Value: A well-maintained building with the proper infrastructure to prevent damage is more attractive to potential buyers or tenants. Waterproofing may increase the value of your property or prevent water damage from reducing it.
  
  
• Concrete Erosion: Water slowly erodes concrete, causing cracking, spalling, and expansion. A waterproofing system will keep your foundation protected from water erosion.
  
  
• Protecting Internal Building Components: Wiring, plumbing, and company equipment can be affected by water intrusion or flooding. Waterproofing ensures their continued functionality and reduces the risk of costly failures.

Signs You Need Exterior Waterproofing

• Cracks in Walls: Cracks in the building’s walls are a clear indication that waterproofing is needed. These cracks, caused by water seepage, may appear suddenly or over time and indicate that water has already penetrated the structural elements.
  
  
• Visible Water Stains & Mold Growth: Water stains on the walls, ceilings, or floors indicate moisture has penetrated your building. If that penetration is persistent, it can lead to mold and mildew. Any sign of water stains should prompt a deeper inspection for mold. Mold caused by excess moisture will typically be black, white, green, or yellow.
  
  
• Musty Smell: A persistent musty smell is often caused by hidden moisture. If there is poor circulation in the building, the extra moisture can increase humidity, speeding up material degradation.
  
  
• Curved or Bowed Walls: When moisture accumulates in your foundation, it creates hydrostatic pressure that can cause interior walls to curve or bow.
  
  
• Rust: If you’ve noticed pipes, nails, fasteners, or other metal components starting to rust, it means they’ve been exposed to moisture over time. Rust, when left unchecked, will weaken structural materials over time.
