There are different kinds of commercial waterproofing which building owners and managers could take advantage of.
• Waterproofing surfaces using sealants, paints, coating plates, epoxic materials, polymer, silicone, plastic and metal coats.
• Waterproofing products which are already part of the concrete or could be mixed with to improve its resistance against moisture
• There are also waterproofing materials that would help the structure to deal with changing temperature like emulsions and asphalts which are water or solvent-based.
• Interior waterproofing systems that would remove water which is accumulated inside. A French drain could be used to channel the water out of the building which would be eventually pumped out of the building through a sump pump.
Internal waterproofing to keep water out like insulation or membranes applied on walls and floors.
When hiring a commercial waterproofing provider, the first thing that you should do is check the credentials of the provider. Check previous clients and if they were satisfied with the work. There are different building codes which could cover building waterproofing. It is important that these codes are followed, you could check previous contractors if they were able to meet these requirements.
Before signing any kind of contract, make sure that the system they would be installing or recommending to you would actually improve the building condition. There are some providers who would recommend low-priced alternative but they actually cause more harm that provide a solution.
Waterproofing protects your property, whether it is residential or commercial, as long as you will be making the necessary steps in choosing the right system for your needs and condition.
