Waiting until you see a water stain is often too late. By then, moisture has already been at work behind the scenes, potentially causing:

• Foundation Damage: Water can erode soil and crack the concrete slab, compromising your property's structural integrity.

• Mold & Mildew: Damp, dark spaces are a breeding ground for hazardous mold, which can impact your family's health and require extensive remediation.

• Wood Rot: Moisture can saturate and rot structural wood framing, leading to expensive and complex repairs.

• Reduced Property Value: Evidence of water damage is a major red flag that can significantly decrease your property's market value.

We specialize in creating an impermeable barrier to protect your property from the ground up. We assess your home's specific needs and design a custom solution that provides lasting protection.

Below-Grade & Foundation Waterproofing

This is the most critical area to protect. We stop water before it ever touches your foundation using exterior waterproof membranes, or manage it from the inside with interior drainage systems, French drains, and sump pumps.

Exterior & Structural Waterproofing

Your building's exterior is its first line of defense. We use advanced elastomeric coatings and high-performance sealants to protect vulnerable surfaces like stucco walls, concrete, balconies, and decks from wind-driven rain.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

A damp, dirty crawl space can lead to mold, pests, and poor indoor air quality. We transform this area by installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier across the ground and walls, completely isolating your home from ground moisture and creating a clean, dry, and healthy space.

When it comes to protecting your property, you need a team with proven local experience and technical expertise.
