Waterproofing Services available for Property Managers & Building Owners

Waterproofing is used to describe a variety of products and services available to property managers and building owners to seal up openings in the building envelope of commercial buildings.

Metro Property offers commercial waterproofing services that protect your building and prevent water intrusion by leaks, cracks, or failed systems for windows, walls, decks, elevators pits, tilt wall panels, and joints.

Exterior wall coatings provide excellent surface protection for exterior building walls and outlasts simple paint products. Wall coatings can be applied over concrete, stucco, masonry, and even metal. Additionally, they can also colored matched just like paint. If your property has visible cracks or moisture is showing up on the inside walls, reach out to Metro Property to stop the water penetration at its source.

Expansion and control joints allow buildings to expand and contract with temperature variations to prevent damage to the building envelope. As buildings age, the caulking begins to deteriorate creating window and wall leaks. Our Waterproofing Technicians are skilled at finding the leaks, removing the failed caulking or materials and replacing it with urethane or silicone sealant, depending on the building’s needs.

When an elevator stops working, the disruption can be related to water intrusion into the elevator pit. This area is susceptible to damage and deterioration from hydraulic fluid, lubricants, dirt, and water leakage. Metro’s Waterproofing technicians identify the source of the water ingress, remove the toxic liquid found in the pit area, dispose of it properly, and apply either a specialty coating or membrane to the slab and exterior walls.

For hard to reach areas where lift equipment cannot go, Metro Property offers rappelling services to find and repair leaky windows, perimeters, and expansion joints. When expensive lift equipment won’t do the job, consider using Metro’s certified team of experienced, Master Rappellers.

Deck and balcony areas require resurfacing due to deterioration by the elements as well as regular use and pedestrian traffic. Metro’s technicians remove the existing membrane or material and properly clean substrate. Following any crack repairs, sometimes a leveling compound is used to ensure the deck surface is level and correctly sloped to keep rain water from intruding into the interior spaces or ponding on the deck. Lastly a fluid applied base coat is installed with multiple top coats to provide both a durable and attractive finished product.
