Professional Exterior Wall Waterproofing Solutions
Exterior walls are the first line of defense against rain, moisture, UV exposure, and changing weather conditions. Without a properly designed exterior wall waterproofing system, water can penetrate the building envelope and lead to long-term deterioration. From hillside homes in Bel Air to coastal properties in Malibu and commercial buildings throughout Los Angeles, every project requires a waterproofing system selected for the building’s construction, exposure conditions, and project requirements.
Our Exterior Wall Waterproofing Process
1. Surface Preparation & Inspection
Before waterproofing begins, our team conducts a thorough assessment of the exterior walls, checking for cracks, porous surfaces, and potential water entry points. Proper surface preparation ensures the best adhesion and performance of waterproofing materials.
2. Application of Waterproofing Membranes
We apply high-performance waterproofing membranes that form a seamless, flexible barrier to prevent water penetration. These membranes are available in different types, including:
Liquid-applied waterproofing membranes – Ideal for irregular surfaces, creating a seamless waterproofing membrane around penetrations and transitions.
Sheet-applied membranes – Durable, pre-formed sheets that provide superior moisture protection.
Bituminous waterproofing membranes – A strong, self-adhering option for long-term durability.
3. Installation of Drainage Boards
To enhance moisture management and hydrostatic pressure relief, we install drainage boards along the exterior walls. These boards:
Channel excess water away from the foundation.
Prevent water from accumulating behind walls.
Reduce soil pressure and prolong the integrity of the waterproofing system.
4. Sealants & Protective Coatings
Once the waterproofing membranes and drainage system are in place, we install compatible waterproofing accessories and sealants at critical transitions, penetrations, and terminations to complete the waterproofing system and provide long-term protection.
5. Backfill & Final Inspection
After the waterproofing system is fully applied and tested, we carefully backfill the area, ensuring proper compaction without compromising the drainage system. A final quality check ensures that all waterproofing layers are securely in place, providing long-term protection.
