Learning What To Watch For With Waterproofing

Representatives of spray manufacturers have been training workers from construction contractor companies on how to use the system and how to spray the waterproofing product properly.

The workers were also trained on right application rates and right temperatures. Some manufacturing companies send out their representatives and do a few jobs with the waterproofing companies just to make sure everything was okay. Other companies put on some seminars.

Selling the service

For waterproofing companies, selling the service is not very difficult in terms of the type of waterproofing services preferred by customers or what is deemed better. The benefits of waterproofing are the same regardless of the type used.

The basic benefits include protecting the foundation or the basement walls from moisture (or vapor) transmissions and stopping concrete efflorescence.

Return of investments

Waterproofing can be more profitable than contracting concrete foundation or basement building. Companies can earn an extra 5 to 6% profits.

Sheet membrane waterproofing system takes about a week to finish. Spray waterproofing is finished in about 3 to 4 hours, sometimes less. Some concrete contractors contend that it might not have increased the business much, but it can bring in some extra profits.

Also, a concrete contractor becomes more valuable to a homebuilder or a general contractor if it is also able to do waterproofing jobs.
