Ensuring Your Building's Foundation Is Watertight
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS BELOW-GRADE WATERPROOFING HAS FAILED?
Don't let water damage become a silent enemy lurking beneath the surface of your building. Below-grade waterproofing failures can go unnoticed for long periods, causing unseen problems within the foundation.
WATCH OUT FOR THESE WARNING SIGNS:
Cracks in foundation walls or floors, damp spots along the perimeter, and any signs of water leaking indicate water is finding a way in. Additionally, signs of excess moisture trapped within the foundation can manifest as blistering or peeling paint, a musty odor, or mold and mildew. A white, powdery substance on the walls called efflorescence is another indicator of water intrusion. This substance results from water leaching through the concrete, carrying dissolved salts. Finally, structural issues like cracks and uneven floors can also point to a potential failure
in your below-grade waterproofing system. If you notice any of these signs, address the issue promptly to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BELOW-GRADE WATERPROOFING?
Investing in below-grade waterproofing offers a significant return on your investment for your commercial or industrial property. First and foremost, it safeguards your building's foundation, the heart of its structural integrity. A strong and dry foundation prevents costly repairs down the road and extends the overall lifespan of your structure. Furthermore, below-grade waterproofing shields your building from structural damage caused by water intrusion. This translates to preventing cracks, uneven floors, and other problems that can compromise your building's stability.
Beyond structural concerns, below-grade waterproofing also improves indoor air quality. It hinders the growth of mold and mildew, which can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. Ultimately, this creates a healthier environment for occupants and visitors. The financial benefits are undeniable as well. By preventing water damage, you'll see a reduction in long-term maintenance costs. The most valuable benefit of all is peace of mind. Knowing your foundation is protected allows you to focus on running your business.
OUR WATERPROOFING PROCESS
Our process begins with a comprehensive site evaluation. Our waterproofing contractors will visit your commercial property to assess factors like the water table level, foundation materials, and local weather patterns. We'll also meticulously inspect for existing water damage or weaknesses in your current waterproofing system. With this information, we'll develop a customized solution tailored to your building's needs. This plan may incorporate a combination of waterproofing membranes, drainage systems, and sealants. Our experienced and certified waterproofing specialists will meticulously install these materials according to industry standards, ensuring optimal protection for your foundation. Finally, we'll conduct a rigorous quality control inspection to guarantee everything meets our high standards.
If you wait until you see signs of water damage in your Iowa commercial building before doing something, it might cost you much more later.
