Waterproofing is a critical part of maintaining commercial structures, protecting them from water infiltration and long-term damage. At C & D Commercial Services, we offer a complete range of commercial waterproofing services designed to keep your property safe and dry.
Below-grade waterproofing protects foundation walls, retaining walls, and elevator pits from moisture intrusion. This can be applied using spray-on, roll-on, trowel-on, or membrane systems. For long-lasting protection, these systems should be installed with a drain mat or thin rigid insulation (fan fold) for proper drainage and warranty compliance. This ensures water is effectively managed away from critical structural elements.
Under-slab waterproofing is crucial for structures with high groundwater exposure, such as elevator pits and foundations on the East Coast. These specialized systems, including premium products like Grace, require certified installation to ensure maximum protection against moisture and vapor intrusion. This approach helps prevent costly repairs and long-term structural damage.
Air and vapor barriers play a critical role in protecting building envelopes from moisture infiltration. These barriers, often spray-on, roll-on, or membrane systems, are installed before the building facade to block air leaks and moisture intrusion. These systems may also include liquid flashing for windows, doors, and wall openings, as well as high-temperature (HT) membranes for metal facades. Each product is carefully selected based on performance needs and environmental conditions.
Properly sealing joints in commercial structures is essential for preventing water intrusion, reducing maintenance costs, and extending the life of your building. At C & D Commercial Services, we offer a range of commercial sealants designed for various applications.
Types of Commercial Sealants We Use:
Urethane Sealants
- Cost-effective, flexible protection for flatwork, tilt-wall panels, parking lot pavement, and CMU walls
- Provides a strong, flexible bond but typically lasts around 5 years in harsh climates like Texas.
- Available in a wide range of standard and special-order colors, though special colors may require a minimum order.
Silicone Sealants
- High-Performance, Long-Lasting Durability
- Preferred for metal window frames, glass buildings, granite structures, and high-end commercial projects.
- It lasts 20+ years even in extreme weather.
- Available in a wide range of standard and special-order colors, though special colors may require a minimum order.
Hybrid Sealants
- Combines the best properties of urethane and silicone.
- Offers enhanced flexibility, weather resistance, and adhesion.
- Ideal for projects that require the durability of silicone with the affordability of urethane.
Here are some common Applications for Commercial Sealants:
- Window perimeters and wet-seal windows
- Tilt-wall panel joints and masonry control joints.
- Parking garage panels and garage floors
- Sidewalks, CMU walls, and building expansion joints.
- High-traffic areas and outdoor concrete surfaces
Traffic coating is essential for parking garages, and upper levels and above occupied space in parking structures. These coatings are also used in mechanical rooms and wet areas. Trusted brands like Tremco, MasterSeal, and NeoGuard offer a range of solutions, including quartz, epoxy, and PMM coatings, for long-lasting surface protection. In some structures, split slabs require “hot applied” rubber layers before the second slab is poured – a critical step in preventing leaks and maintaining the integrity of the structure.
