Above-Grade Commercial Building Waterproofing

Custom Commercial Building Waterproofing Services That Extend Above the Foundation

Does Your Building Need Above-Grade Waterproofing?

If you’ve noticed water spots or pooling at your facility, you’re probably already looking for a building waterproofing contractor to remediate the leak and fix the damage. If so, Airtight Construction is ready to make your building watertight with 24/7 emergency repairs that provide a long-lasting solution.

But what about when the need for waterproofing isn’t as obvious? When you don’t see immediate damage or you aren’t certain if it could benefit your building, the importance of waterproofing isn’t always clear.

No matter your situation, the team at Airtight can help. Water damage can occur anywhere on a building, on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, so it’s critical to understand when and how you need to protect it from the elements before damage occurs. For projects of all sizes, we take a custom approach to waterproofing a range of above-grade structures to ensure your investment stays protected for years to come.

Above-Grade vs. Below-Grade Waterproofing

As you’re identifying a building’s waterproofing needs, it’s important to understand the difference between above-grade and below-grade waterproofing.

Below-grade waterproofing describes anything done to a building to prevent water intrusion at the foundation level. Above-grade waterproofing entails steps taken to prevent water from entering above ground level.
