Services
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions protect buildings from water intrusion using advanced elastomeric coatings, cementitious systems, and rubber membranes. We address both above-ground and below-grade moisture challenges while maintaining structural integrity. Our methods include surface preparation, multi-layer application systems, and final sealing techniques that create permanent watertight barriers for commercial and residential properties.
Concrete Restoration
We restore deteriorated concrete structures through spall repair, epoxy injection, and rebar reinforcement. Our process includes surface preparation, high-compressive patching, and color-matching finishing techniques. This comprehensive approach addresses both aesthetic and structural concerns while extending the lifespan of concrete elements in residential and commercial buildings.
Dry Rot Repair
Our dry rot repair services address moisture-damaged wood in walls and decks through complete removal of affected materials, structural reinforcement, and protective coating applications. We replace damaged joists, install waterproof barriers, and apply breathable elastomeric coatings to prevent future moisture intrusion while restoring original structural integrity.
Epoxy Injection
We use epoxy injection to permanently bond concrete cracks in walls and ceilings. Our method involves surface preparation, port installation, and pressure injection of structural epoxy. This technique restores load-bearing capacity while creating watertight seals that prevent further deterioration from water intrusion in both residential and commercial structures.
Leak Analysis
Our leak analysis services identify water intrusion sources through pressure testing, dye tracing, and vacuum diagnostics. We provide detailed reports with photographic documentation and repair recommendations. Our systematic approach ensures complete resolution of persistent leaks in complex building envelopes across residential and commercial properties.
