Recert-critical

Waterproof membrane systems on balconies and catwalks. Critical on recertification properties.

Parking Decks And Plaza Decks

Traffic-grade waterproof membranes with aggregate broadcast for slip resistance.

Podium Decks Over Occupied Space

Technical Methods

How We Actually Do The Work

The details that separate a 30-year repair from one that fails next wet season. Click any method to see how it works in Boca Raton conditions.

Method 01 of 06

Envelope Survey And Engineer Coordination

SpecInfrared + leak testing

We survey the entire envelope, identify moisture sources, coordinate with the engineer of record on specification, and agree on scope before work begins.

Materials We Specify

Built For South Florida Exposure

A repair mortar that performs in a northern state may fail within a year in Boca Raton. We specify based on the conditions each surface actually faces.

M01

Silane-Siloxane Penetrating Sealers

Exterior facades

Penetrating protection that blocks chlorides at pore level without changing facade appearance.

M02

High-Build Elastomeric Coatings

Crack-bridging

Flexible, UV-stable waterproof membranes for cracked stucco and concrete facades.

M03

Fluid-Applied Waterproofing

Seamless membrane

Monolithic fluid-applied systems for plazas, podium decks, balconies, and complex geometries.

M04

Sheet-Membrane Below-Grade Systems

Foundation protection

Self-adhering or mechanically-attached sheet membranes for below-grade walls.

M05

Traffic-Grade Waterproof Coatings

Parking + pedestrian decks

Traffic-rated coatings for parking structures and pedestrian plazas.

Frequently Asked

Boca Raton Waterproofing FAQ

The questions Boca Raton owners ask most. Tap any to expand.

Florida's SB 4-D (2022) requires condominium and cooperative buildings of 3 stories or more to complete milestone inspections by age 25 if within 3 miles of the coastline, or by age 30 otherwise. Most of eastern Boca Raton falls within the 3-mile coastal zone. Boca Raton added Ordinance 5589, covering threshold buildings over 30 years old that are taller than 3 stories or 50 feet. Waterproofing deficiencies on parking structures, plaza decks, and below-grade foundations are among the most common milestone inspection findings. Addressing those deficiencies with documented, licensed contractor waterproofing work provides the Phase 2 remediation evidence needed to close the inspection finding with the building official. Proactive waterproofing before a milestone inspection finding is identified is always less costly than responding under a regulatory deadline.
