Pillar joints in rooftop Rooftop waterproofing always encounters pillar penetrations, and the joint around a pillar is a common leakage path. If the joint is neglected, water can migrate into the building envelope. The aim is to create a continuous, flexi…
NDT for Sheet Membranes Sheet membranes provide a continuous moisture barrier that shields roofs, walls, and floors from capillary intrusion and long term damage to underlying substrates. Non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT) lets professionals ver…
Exterior caulking basics Exterior joints face sun, rain, and temperature swings, making durable caulking work essential. Choosing the right sealant reduces future repairs and keeps siding intact. Movement joints should be sized and cleaned before applicat…
Causes of Sprinkler Leak Sprinkler systems endure constant pressure, so aging fittings and corroded joints are common leak sources. Aged piping or improper torching during installation can create small gaps that grow over time. Concealed lines under insul…
Exterior Waterproofing Exterior walls act as the primary barrier against rain and spray. A continuous moisture barrier behind siding keeps water from soaking structural components. Any penetration must be flashed and sealed to preserve the barrier. Modern…
Rooftop waterproofing Rooftop leaks are common as sun and weather wear down surface barriers. Over time, membrane joints, flashing at edges, and penetrations become failure points. Early inspection helps locate hairline cracks before they work their way i…
Silicone waterproofing 101 Silicone waterproofing relies on elastomeric silicone sealants and coatings that stay flexible as substrates expand and contract. These products form a continuous layer that resists water ingress while accommodating movement. Un…
Urethane Membrane Choice Urethane membrane systems offer flexible, elastomeric protection for concrete, metal, and wood substrates. Choose a two component polyurethane or moisture cured system based on substrate condition and climate. Evaluate cure time, …
Roof Waterproofing Basics Roof surfaces face heavy weather shifts and thermal movement, making proper waterproofing essential for long-term performance. Start with a thorough roof survey to identify cracks, blisters, and flashing failures that could advan…
Leak Repair for Plumbing Leaks in plumbing systems often start as tiny drips that quietly degrade structural materials. Hidden leaks behind walls or under floors can escape notice until they cause mold, rotten wood, or high utility bills. A systematic app…
