Massachusetts Housing Authority Waterproofing Services

We address many waterproofing failures and have the experience and know-how necessary to diagnose the cause and accurately remedy the problem with our Massachusetts housing authority waterproofing services.

We are on top of your building’s waterproofing status from the early stages, when  minor evidence of moisture may presage waterproofing distress. Examples include:

  • blisters or peeling paint;
  • mold, mildew, and vegetative growth;
  • dampness or dribbles of water;
  • stains and rust;
  • odors;
  • efflorescence, or white powdery deposits;
  • cracked walls;
  • wood rot.
Moisture-related deterioration becomes more costly to repair the longer it is allowed to progress. Keeping a record of water infiltration symptoms is important to establishing how, where, and when moisture is penetrating the waterproofing system.

Once we have identified the source of the leak and located its origin, we can then begin the repair/restoration process with our Massachusetts housing authority waterproofing services..

In concrete structures where water infiltration has led to reinforcement corrosion, steel should be repaired and sealed, followed by application of concrete patching mortar. We can then help prevent future recurrence by using migrating corrosion-inhibitors, either integrated into the patching compound or applied as a surface sealer.

For outdoor areas, including plazas, sidewalks, and landscaping, some rehabilitation may be necessary following waterproofing repair. If repair work involved excavation, or if leaks have damaged fixtures or dislodged pavers, then outdoor finishes and plantings may need to be reconstructed. Portions of the façade may also require rehabilitation.

We then carefully examine the complete interior of the building identifying water-damaged drywall, trim, paint, ceiling tiles, flooring, and fixtures that may need to be replaced once the new waterproofing system is installed. Moisture also can lead to mold growth—a health hazard that may require professional removal and cleaning.
