Waterproofing Systems

Waterproofing systems

The envelope treated as one system, because water rarely gets in where it finally shows up.

Water is what turns a maintenance item into a structural one, and it very rarely enters a building at the point where the stain appears inside. That is why chasing the symptom wastes money. We work the roof, the parapet, the wall below it and the structure below grade together, and we detail the transitions between them, because transitions are where assemblies actually fail. The membrane and its terminations go in as the structure goes back together, which is the only point at which they can be done properly.

Scope

What this covers

Every item is performed by our own crews.

Traffic Membranes

Waterproofing membranes rated for vehicular traffic, applied over prepared decks and detailed through every penetration, so the surface that carries the cars is the surface that stops the water.

Waterproof Coatings

Applied coating systems for decks, walls and plaza areas, specified to the exposure and the substrate rather than to a catalogue page.

Foundation Waterproofing

Below grade waterproofing at foundation walls, footings and slabs, with drainage, protection board and terminations detailed as the structure goes back together.

Joint Waterproofing

Movement joints, construction joints and transitions waterproofed with systems sized for the movement, because a joint that is sealed rigid simply moves the failure a few inches along.

Sealants

Sealant work across the building, from facade joints to deck and plaza work, with joint preparation, backing and tooling treated as part of the installation.

Building Envelope Waterproofing

The envelope waterproofed as one system rather than trade by trade, so roof, parapet, wall and below grade work meet at detailed transitions instead of at a change of contractor.

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes. This category is carried out by our own crews rather than subcontracted, which is why we can commit to a schedule and to emergency response.

New York City across all five boroughs, plus Rockland and Westchester counties and the wider New York metropolitan area.

Yes. Permits, expediting and violation removal run alongside the field work on the same job, so the correction and the paperwork close out together.

Other systems

Restoration work rarely stops at one system. These are the ones that most often run alongside it.
