BELOW & ABOVE GRADE WATERPROOFING

Bay to Bay Waterproofing & Restoration handles the most common forms of waterproofing most familiar to the market, that is: Below-Grade & Above-Grade Waterproofing.

BELOW GRADE WATERPROOFING:

Below grade waterproofing is crucial for building-structures, especially in south Florida. Below grade waterproofing prevents water and moisture from entering foundational slabs, and bridges stress cracks that will undoubtedly form over time. When pairing effective, below-grade waterproofing with water management techniques, the below-grade building envelope remains leak-free and reduces high costs associated with life-cycle maintenance.

ABOVE-GRADE WATERPROOFING:

Above-grade waterproofing refers to preventing water from penetrating into a structure above ground level, primarily addressing issues like exterior wall sealing and roof protection.Unlike below-grade waterproofing, which focuses on hydrostatic pressure, above-grade waterproofing deals with exposure to weather elements like UV light, rain, and temperature fluctuations.

Commonly applied to pools, fountains, planters & above-ground water systems. Above ground pools and planters are the most challenging structures to waterproof. We offer waterproofing in the pool-shell with approved NOA’s, featuring flexible polyurethane membranes with 20 Year watertight warranties. Our applications account for excess movement typically experienced in above ground pool structures. 

POOL WATERPROOFING:

Pool waterproofing is the process of applying a protective barrier to a swimming pool's structure to prevent water from seeping in or out.This barrier, often a specialized coating or membrane, helps to protect the pool's integrity, prevent leaks, and extend the pool's lifespan.It's crucial because concrete and other common pool materials are porous and can be susceptible to water damage and deterioration when exposed to water and pool chemicals.

Above ground pools and planters are the most challenging structures to waterproof. We offer waterproofing in the pool-shell with approved NOA’s, featuring flexible polyurethane membranes with 20 Year watertight warranties. Our applications account for excess movement typically experienced in above ground pool structures. 

PLANTERS & PLAZA DECKS:

Plaza deck repair and waterproofinginvolves a combination of repairs to the existing structure and the application of a waterproof membrane to prevent water damage.This process can include addressing issues like cracks, spalling, and drainage problems, followed by the installation of a protective waterproofing system. A system is then applied to prevent water penetration.This can involve various materials and techniques, such as:

• Cold-applied Polyurethane: A durable and often expensive option, suitable for inverted waterproofing systems (tile directly on the membrane).

• Hot-applied Rubberized Asphalt Membranes: Suitable for large areas, forming a seamless, bonded membrane.

• Sheet Membranes: Rolled onto the surface and bonded with adhesive, creating a continuous barrier.

• Liquid-applied Membranes: Applied with rollers or brushes, creating a thin, seamless layer. 

WATER FIXTURES & FOUNTAINS:

Waterproofing water features like fountains involvescreating a watertight barrier to prevent leaks and protect the structure.This can be achieved through various methods, including using liquid-applied membranes, waterproofing paints, or liners, depending on the specific needs and materials of the fountain.
