Advanced Waterproofing For Your Custom Home
In Southwest Florida, where we have the potential for heavy rain and tropical conditions, one of the most important steps in ensuring your home’s structural integrity is employing effective waterproofing solutions.
When you choose us, we go above and beyond to ensure the best waterproofing methods are in place, from the foundation to the roof.
Our goal is for your home to remain secure, stable, and resilient for years to come.
Here are a few important ways we safeguard your home from water issues, so you can enjoy peace of mind.
Foundation
The foundation is the backbone of your home, so waterproofing from the ground up is extremely critical. We use high-performance sealants, weather-resistant barriers, and proper drainage techniques to prevent water from seeping into the foundation.
We also go the extra mile with sealing and wrapping sub-columns multiple times for good measure and further moisture protection.
Windows & Doors
Windows and doors are common entry points for water, especially during major storms. That’s why we install impact-resistant windows and doors for excellent sealing and to prevent leakage.
For another layer of protection, we use the ZIP system with metal flashing to create a water and airtight seal.
Flashing is used at vulnerable points, i.e., where walls meet roofs, windows, and pipes penetrate the exterior. Flashing acts as a barrier, channeling water toward appropriate drainage systems.
Roof
To secure a well-designed roofing system we only work with contractors who utilize high-quality underlayment, flashing, and robust roofing materials that can withstand SW Florida’s intense weather conditions.
Proper Drainage Systems
To manage rainwater and prevent water buildup around the home, we employ proper drainage systems, such as sloped grading, sump pumps, French drains, retainer walls, and strategically placed gutters.
Exterior Walls
We incorporate waterproof coatings, vapor barriers, and other drainage techniques to ensure moisture does not seep into the home.
Properly sealed stucco, siding, and stonework further prevent water damage.
Outdoor Spaces
Part of our waterproofing process is utilizing a 3-part coating system that includes a primer, waterproofing membrane, and topcoat to protect the structural integrity of your outdoor decks, balconies, and other spaces.
One product used in this process is Hydrostop™, a high-performance coating designed to prevent water intrusion and extend the life of outdoor surfaces while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
