Services
Air Barriers
EBS provides ABAA-certified air barrier installation for commercial buildings. Our systems improve energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and structural longevity by preventing uncontrolled air movement. With specialized training and the highest industry standards, we ensure proper installation that avoids costly repairs from improper workmanship.
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions protect new and existing buildings from water intrusion. Using advanced fluid-applied, sheet membrane, and bentonite systems, we address climate-specific challenges in the Upper Midwest. Our certified crews prevent structural damage from moisture while maintaining building integrity through proper installation techniques.
Traffic Coatings
EBS applies durable traffic coatings for vehicular and pedestrian areas. Our systems prevent chloride-induced corrosion in parking structures and withstand freeze-thaw cycles. We prepare surfaces to exacting standards before applying epoxy, elastomeric, and urethane coatings that extend the lifespan of concrete decks and mechanical rooms.
Masonry Cleaning
We offer comprehensive masonry cleaning for historic and modern buildings. Using water-based, chemical, and poultice methods, our specialists remove contaminants without damaging materials. With experience on landmarks like the Minnesota State Capitol, we restore masonry to its original condition while preserving structural integrity.
Fireproofing
Our fireproofing services enhance building safety with cementitious and intumescent coatings. We apply fire-resistive materials to structural steel in commercial and industrial settings, maintaining compliance with current regulations. Our trained technicians ensure proper coverage to maintain structural integrity during fire events while meeting acoustical insulation needs.
