Leaks in your facility not only come from the roof. They can also come from the walls absorbing water. Older concrete and brick facilities are especially susceptible to this kind of water intrusion. During A reroof we noticed not dust but brown water coming from holes we drilled in the masonry to attach the new membrane. We made the client aware and quoted them a waterproofing solution for the problem areas.
The waterproofing process starts with cleaning and removing old coatings and sealants from the surface. The cracks and mortar joints are then repaired and repointed as needed with necessary backer rod.
Prosoco Klean ‘n Release EPA Safer Choice-certified cleaner was used to remove years of staining and restore the original color to the stone and masonry.
Lastly, 2 coats of Prosoco Saltguard to reseal. Saltguard is a solvent-based, general-purpose, silane/siloxane water repellent and chloride screen for concrete and masonry, including concrete block, and clay and concrete brick surfaces. Saltguard protects horizontal and vertical surfaces from moisture intrusion and chemical attack of chloride salts, reducing rebar corrosion and surface spalling.
The results speak for themselves. The original beauty of the building was restored and waterproofed to provide many more years of now leak free protection.
