Services
Waterproofing
Our comprehensive waterproofing solutions protect commercial structures from water intrusion. Using hot fluid-applied membranes and advanced sheet systems, we create durable barriers for foundations, decks, and critical infrastructure. With ABAA-certified installers, we ensure code-compliant protection that extends building lifespan while maintaining aesthetic integrity.
Sealant Applications
Specialized sealant systems for building joints and expansion connections. We apply high-performance silicone and polyurethane compounds to prevent water infiltration while accommodating structural movement. Our technicians maintain ASTM standards for masonry cleaning and water repellent treatments that preserve material integrity.
Restoration Services
Comprehensive remedial construction for aging infrastructure. Our team performs epoxy injection for concrete cracks, deck coating renewal, and air barrier restoration. We specialize in preserving building aesthetics during repairs, using color-matched materials and minimally invasive techniques to maintain original design intent.
Air Barrier Systems
ABAA-certified installation of fluid-applied and sheet air barriers. We create continuous protection layers that meet energy code requirements while preventing moisture migration. Our systems integrate with HVAC and insulation components to optimize building efficiency and indoor air quality for commercial facilities.
Firestopping
Code-compliant firestop system installation in commercial buildings. We use intumescent sealants and fire-rated caulking to maintain compartmentalization in structural penetrations. Our solutions meet ASTM E814 standards while preserving the integrity of waterproofing systems in multi-story developments and industrial facilities.
