Commercial Waterproofing
Advanced sealants and coatings to prevent water intrusion in Plano's commercial structures.
Advanced Sealants and Coatings to Prevent Water Intrusion
Commercial Painting Contractors Plano provides comprehensive commercial waterproofing services protecting building envelopes, below-grade structures, plaza decks, balconies, and vulnerable building assemblies from moisture intrusion throughout Plano's extensive commercial and multi-family property inventory. Our waterproofing specialists deliver elastomeric membrane systems, liquid-applied waterproofing, cementitious barriers, and penetrating sealers engineered to prevent water damage, structural deterioration, and interior moisture problems. We understand that effective waterproofing requires systematic building envelope analysis—identifying moisture entry paths, addressing substrate conditions, and implementing layered protection appropriate for Plano's climate including intense rainfall events, high humidity periods, and the thermal cycling that stresses waterproofing systems. Serving Plano building owners facing water damage, property managers implementing preventive maintenance, and new construction requiring comprehensive moisture protection, we provide expert waterproofing solutions protecting valuable Plano real estate investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What waterproofing challenges are common in Plano commercial buildings?
Plano buildings face several moisture challenges including intense rainfall events overwhelming drainage systems, below-grade moisture from high water table in some Plano areas, failed expansion joints from thermal cycling, EIFS and stucco moisture intrusion from aging 1990s-2000s construction, balcony waterproofing failures in multi-family properties, and plaza deck leaks in mixed-use developments. We've addressed these issues throughout Plano's building inventory understanding the waterproofing requirements specific to different construction types and ages common in this mature commercial market.
Can you waterproof occupied Plano buildings including Legacy and Granite Park?
Yes, most waterproofing occurs in occupied buildings. Exterior waterproofing proceeds without interior access requiring minimal tenant coordination. Below-grade interior waterproofing affects mechanical rooms or storage areas not primary occupied spaces. Balcony work requires temporary tenant access restrictions coordinated with property management. We schedule around Plano building operations minimizing disruption while addressing critical moisture protection. Experience with sophisticated Plano properties ensures professional execution respecting operational requirements.
How do you diagnose water intrusion sources in Plano buildings?
Water leak investigation uses multiple techniques including visual inspection identifying obvious entry points, water testing simulating rain on suspected areas, infrared thermography detecting moisture in building assemblies, moisture meters measuring substrate wetness, and systematic elimination identifying hidden sources. Many Plano buildings have complex building envelopes—particularly Legacy and Granite Park contemporary construction—requiring sophisticated diagnostics. Proper investigation is critical—treating symptoms without addressing sources results in recurring leaks and continued damage.
What waterproofing systems work best for Plano plaza decks?
Plaza decks over occupied space demand robust waterproofing. Common systems include sheet membranes providing proven reliability, liquid-applied membranes accommodating complex geometry, and traffic coatings providing waterproofing with wearing surface. System selection considers pedestrian traffic levels, substrate condition, budget, and maintenance requirements. Plano's upscale developments often feature plaza decks—we specify appropriate systems balancing aesthetics, performance, and long-term durability for these challenging applications.
Can waterproofing stop leaks in Plano multi-family balconies?
Yes, when properly addressed. We investigate leak sources, repair underlying substrate damage, address drainage issues causing water accumulation, and implement appropriate waterproofing for balcony configuration. However, waterproofing alone can't solve fundamental problems like structural cracks, failed drainage, or design flaws. Comprehensive approach addressing root causes plus waterproofing provides lasting solutions. Many Plano multi-family properties from 1990s-2000s experience balcony waterproofing failures requiring systematic restoration—we've successfully addressed hundreds preventing interior unit damage.
