There are different kinds of commercial waterproofing available to building owners and managers.
• Surfaces can be waterproofed using sealants, paints, coating plates, epoxic materials, polymer, silicone, plastic and metal coats.
• Waterproofing products can be included with the concrete during construction to improve its resistance to moisture.
• Waterproofing materials are also available that help the structure deal with changing temperatures, like emulsions and asphalts which are water or solvent-based.
• Interior waterproofing systems can remove water which has accumulated inside. A French drain could be used to channel the water out of the building or the water can be pumped out of the building using 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 see if they were satisfied with the work. There are different building codes which may apply to building waterproofing. It is important that these codes are followed.
Before signing any kind of contract, make sure that the system will actually improve the building condition. Some providers may recommend low-priced alternatives that actually cause more harm than good.
Waterproofing protects your property, whether it is residential or commercial, as long as you take the necessary steps in choosing the right system for your needs and condition.
