What Building Owners Need to Know About
Commercial Waterproofing

INTRODUCTION

• The most important reason for hiring professional
  commercial waterproofing contractors is to
  protect your building and keep water out. Leaks
  will occur if a waterproof seal is not
  maintained. "Building envelope leaks typically
  occur at transitions between enclosure systems,"
  according to Facility Executive. All products on
  the market, including glass/window systems,
  weather-resistant barriers, and architectural
  panels, are tested to determine how long they
  will be effective. The systems installed in a
  building are expected to function properly for
  the duration of the warranty. Moisture problems
  are most common when one system transitions into
  another. These can result in gaps in the
  building's security. Unfortunately,
  responsibility for ensuring that these
  transitions are held to the same level of
  expectation can be a void in the matrix during
  construction." Rather than jeopardizing your
  building's integrity, building owners and
  managers should consider these three ways an
  expert adds value and reduces risk.

PRODUCT SELECTION IS IMPORTANT

• Waterproofing is critical for businesses in order
  to protect their assets. Sealants degrade over
  time and require repair, which includes the
  removal of old materials, inspection of the
  surface, application, and destructive testing to
  ensure the repair lasts. The key to avoiding
  damage and additional costs is identifying and
  correcting problems with the appropriate sealants
  for your specific building and location.
• Urethane and silicone, for example, are the two
  most common types of sealant. Silicone is far
  more commonly used because of its UV-protective
  properties and overall endurance. Urethane is
  more commonly used in masonry or painting
  projects, which will inevitably necessitate
  additional services such as pressure washing.
  Furthermore, urethane-based masonry projects will
  necessitate water applications to clean the
  materials, and a waterproofing contractor can
  assist you in determining the difference and
  selecting the appropriate material.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPERIENCE
Each waterproofing project requires experience to
be successful. The greater the commercial
waterproofing contractors' understanding and
capability, the smaller the margin for error and
delay. With a proven approach to comprehensive
waterproofing services that consider the entire
needs of the building and the budget, experience
reduces costs and streamlines work. Executing
each assignment correctly will prevent any delays
that could disrupt businesses and clients. Always
remember that time is money. Commercial
waterproofing contractors with experience assist
the facilities management team in remaining
proactive and achieving core goals such as the
following Maintaining a safe and healthy
environment for building occupants detecting
leaks and performing timely repairs reducing the
risk of further damage

THE IMPORTANCE OF TESTING AND INSPECTION
Choosing the right commercial waterproofing
contractor cuts out the middleman and gives you
peace of mind. Commercial waterproofing
contractors, for example, use destructive
testing, which involves physically pulling on the
sealant to see if it remains intact. This
procedure will detect any leaks, dry rot, or
mould and effectively pinpoint the source of the
problem. A professional inspection ensures
precision and durability for long-term
waterproofing. Keep in mind that waterproofing
compounds or materials may fail in the absence of
a trained eye. As a result, your total cost of
ownership for the building will rise, effectively
rendering all previous services obsolete until
the job is completed correctly.

CONSULT AN EXPERT CONTRACTOR FOR COMMERCIAL
WATERPROOFING
Remember that the goal of waterproofing services
is to keep water out of areas of buildings that
are supposed to be dry and to provide you with
peace of mind. Finally, any area where the
elements enter the building envelope poses a
risk. Working with an expert, on the other hand,
helps to maximize the value and maintain the
integrity of the building envelope, lowering
costs and risks along the way and ensuring all of
the appropriate materials are used. White Metal
