When it comes to protecting your commercial building against water damage, exterior waterproofing in Hudson County is essential.

But what does the exterior waterproofing and restoration process look like?

Throughout Hudson County, we’ve seen the massive damage heavy rainfall can do to commercial properties. Exterior waterproofing can be a great preventative measure to avoid costly repairs and serious foundational damage.

At 1Call Restore, we aim to strengthen your commercial, industrial, multi-family or religious property to last for decades. Not only does exterior waterproofing and restoration help maintain your property’s appearance, but it will also preserve its safety and value.

Over our three decades in the business, we’ve created a process that guarantees a good experience and an excellent outcome – as long as we follow certain key steps.


Exterior Waterproofing Basics

Exterior waterproofing is a proven restoration method that involves protecting the exterior of a building’s structure from water damage.

Ultimately, the process aims to preserve your building’s integrity by first excavating its foundation and then applying a waterproof barrier to seal out any groundwater or rainwater.

Once it’s sealed, the barrier protects your building against moisture, preventing mold and mildew build-up and significant structural damage.


1Call Restore’s Exterior Waterproofing Process

When you work with 1Call Restore, we only use the best exterior foundation waterproofing products for our projects, ensuring that the end result lasts for the long term.

Our process ensures that your property is waterproofed reliably and you get quality results on the first try.

Step 1: Inspection & Diagnosis

To build a comprehensive strategy, we need to understand every detail possible before we get started. This is why we start with a thorough inspection of your building’s structural foundation before we begin.

During our inspection, we look for the common culprits of moisture build-up, like mold and mildew. Our team will also check for any areas of your property’s exterior that are damaged, vulnerable, or even open.

After our inspection, we will work with you to create a plan that leaves no stone unturned. Not only will our plan address your concerns, but it will also outline how we will get the job done efficiently.

Step 2: Cleaning & Repairs

Now, we get to work. If we pick up on any previous water damage or dirt, we make sure that it is fully cleaned and repaired before applying waterproofing materials. This may include repairing cracks, removing mold, and other remediation actions to correct any damages done by the environment.

Your property is a significant investment, so we want to ensure that it will look great and be fortified once the job is done.

Step 3: Waterproof Reinforcement

Before applying waterproofing materials, we first apply mesh waterproof reinforcement to help improve your building’s overall structural integrity. It also reduces the risk of developing foundational cracks down the line.

No matter what, we want to make sure that your building is reinforced against foundational damage, mold infestation, and compromised air quality. Applying the waterproofing reinforcement is an essential step to ensure water never gets in.

Step 4: Waterproofing Application

Then, we begin applying waterproofing materials along your property’s foundation. Our external waterproofing services also include providing a proper drainage system for rainwater to ensure it doesn’t accumulate around the exterior of your property.

1Call Restore only uses the best of the best materials in all of our projects, including waterproofing membranes and coatings.

Step 5: Quality Control/Final Inspection

Finally, we conduct one last inspection after we finish our post-work remediation and all waterproofing materials are applied.

During this final inspection, we are looking for any imperfections – anything that might diminish the quality of our work. If we find any issues, no matter how minor, we fix them as soon as possible.

With this final inspection also comes your warranty. With all our projects, we provide warranty coverage for up to 25 years.

The lengths of our warranties are determined by:

  • External influences (i.e. environmental factions, like the proximity to the coast, high wind areas, etc.)
  • The age and condition of your building’s existing foundation
  • Existing structural issues

At 1Call Restore, we want to make sure you are fully satisfied with our work and have lasting protection.

Your building’s foundation is its most important piece.
