Trice Contracting Inc.As a business owner, you know that your commercial property is one of your most valuable assets. To keep it protected and avoid costly damages, waterproofing is an essential maintenance task that you need to prioritize. Here's why building waterproofing is so important and how it helps safeguard your investment from leaks, flooding, and moisture damage.
Keeping Your Building’s Exterior in Great Shape
One of the most vulnerable parts of your building is the exterior. Things like cracked foundations, leaky windows, and damaged roofing materials can let water seep in and cause deterioration. Take a close look at the outside of your property and look for any areas that need patching, sealing, or replacement. Pay extra attention to places where different construction materials meet, like corners and joints. These are common entry points for water. Don’t forget to examine landscaping elements too. Proper grading and drainage around your building are crucial for directing water away from the foundation. If you see any obvious problems, call your local waterproofing experts ASAP.
Ensuring Your Flat Roofing Is Doing Its Job
Flat roofs are notorious for leaking and ponding water if not properly maintained. Pooled water puts massive amounts of pressure on roof membranes and can eventually cause them to fail. Inspect your flat roofing for punctures, loose seams, and areas of standing water. Repair any damaged sections with compatible materials, making sure the entire surface is sloped properly so water can drain off. Regular maintenance like recoating and seam sealing will improve longevity too. Here at Trice Contracting Inc, we're proud to provide waterproofing solutions that will keep your building covered.
Protecting Parking Garages and Decks
Parking garages and decks are the most exposed to the elements, needing durable waterproof membranes to stay protected. Look for cracking, potholes, and crumbling concrete, which allows water intrusion and further deterioration. Our team can seal concrete surfaces with a protective coating designed for high-traffic areas. Pay special attention to entry points, edges, and connection joints. These busy zones take a beating from vehicle tires and are prone to wear. Proper waterproofing is critical in reinforcing them against constant use. Don’t forget about the underside too! Corrosion-resistant coatings on structural beams can keep your space from deteriorating.
Equipping Your Old Windows to Prevent Drafts
Outdated windows and doors with damaged weatherstripping and worn caulking allow outside moisture to infiltrate your building. Our building waterproofing services can fill in these gaps, protecting your building from the elements. We will apply fresh caulk and weatherstripping around frames to seal gaps. With over 25 years of experience across our time, you can feel confident that we'll provide water-resistant materials and expertise you can count on.
Strengthening Your Foundation
Cracks or deterioration in your foundation can compromise the integrity of your entire building. Look for any signs of settling, bowing, or cracks. Check for efflorescence, a white powder deposit that indicates water is passing through the foundation. Our team has extensive experience with waterproofing commercial basements, providing water-resistant solutions for your unique building. Don’t take chances with your foundation’s condition. Turn to our team at Trice Contracting.
Preparing Your Building for Future Weather
One of the most important elements of building waterproofing is the preventative maintenance impact. Here in New York City, the weather and water utility lines can be completely unpredictable. When you choose us for waterproofing, you're keeping your building protected from the common problems we see in the aging buildings of our area. This is essential for all buildings, from apartment towers to office buildings.
Giving You Peace of Mind

Throughout our many years in the commercial restoration industry, our team has seen the havoc that water damage can bring to a space. Getting on top of waterproofing early can give you peace of mind regarding not only your building's basement but also the entire interior and exterior.
According to RubyHome, the United States has experienced an urban flooding event once every two to three days over the last 25 years. Waterproofing your commercial building should be a top priority to avoid potentially disastrous damages and financial loss from leaks or floods.
