    • Polyurethane & Polyurea Applications
    • Silicone Roof Coating Systems
    • Bituminous & Modified Membranes
    • Cementitious & Crystalline Waterproofing

    Our experienced teams use cutting-edge techniques and premium materials to create impermeable barriers that withstand thermal shock, UV degradation, and hydrostatic pressure common in Alberta.

    Consultation & Detailed Site Inspection

    We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your building’s specific challenges in Calgary or Edmonton. Our technicians perform comprehensive on-site inspections using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual assessments to detect leaks, cracks, poor drainage, and vulnerable areas like foundations, roofs, and parking structures. 

    This identifies risks from freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation, allowing us to develop a precise, cost-effective waterproofing strategy with minimal impact on your operations.

    Thorough Surface Preparation

    Preparation ensures lasting adhesion and performance. We pressure wash, shot-blast, or grind surfaces to remove contaminants, loose material, and efflorescence. Cracks are routed and sealed, spalled concrete repaired with compatible mortars, and substrates primed for optimal bonding. 

    In Alberta’s climate, addressing freeze-thaw damage early prevents future failures. This critical step creates a clean, sound base for coatings or membranes, maximizing durability and waterproof integrity.

    Precision Application of Systems

    Our certified applicators install selected waterproofing systems—liquid-applied elastomers, sheet membranes, or multi-layer coatings—using spray, roller, or trowel methods for uniform coverage. High-risk zones like joints, penetrations, and transitions receive extra reinforcement. 

    Applications are scheduled to suit your schedule, with fast-curing options to reduce downtime. The result is a seamless, flexible barrier engineered to handle Alberta’s temperature swings, ponding water, and abrasion in commercial settings.

    Rigorous Quality Control & Project Handover

    Every installation undergoes thorough testing, including flood tests, adhesion pulls, and visual inspections to confirm full waterproofing. We allow proper curing under monitored conditions for peak strength. 

    Clients receive detailed maintenance recommendations, extended warranties, and documentation. A final walkthrough ensures complete satisfaction. Ongoing support is available for future inspections or touch-ups, providing long-term confidence in your Calgary or Edmonton property’s protection.

    Different Types of Waterproofing & Coatings

    These fluid-applied systems cure into seamless, highly flexible barriers perfect for irregular commercial surfaces like roofs, decks, and foundations. In Calgary and Edmonton, they bridge cracks from thermal movement and resist ponding water, UV rays, and abrasion. Quick installation with low VOC options minimizes business interruption while delivering superior waterproofing and energy savings through reflectivity. Ideal for restorative or new-build projects requiring durable, monolithic protection.

    Polyurethane and fast-curing polyurea create tough, elastic films with exceptional chemical, impact, and abrasion resistance. Suited for parking garages, industrial floors, and high-traffic areas in Alberta, they handle heavy loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure without cracking. Seamless application ensures no weak points, while high elongation accommodates substrate movement. These provide long-term waterproofing with low maintenance for demanding commercial environments.

    Silicone coatings excel on flat or low-slope commercial roofs, offering outstanding ponding water resistance, UV stability, and reflectivity to lower cooling costs in summer. In snowy, wet Alberta climates, they remain breathable yet fully waterproof, self-priming on many substrates, and resistant to biological growth. Easy recoatability extends roof life significantly with minimal disruption, making them a popular choice for energy-efficient, durable protection.

    Torch-applied or self-adhered modified bitumen membranes deliver robust, multi-ply waterproofing for foundations, plazas, and roofs. They resist hydrostatic pressure and punctures while providing excellent adhesion in cold climates. In Calgary and Edmonton commercial projects, these time-tested systems offer cost-effective, high-performance barriers against moisture and temperature extremes, often combined with protective toppings for added durability.

    Best Materials for Alberta's Demanding Climate

    We partner with leading manufacturers to source premium, code-compliant materials engineered for freeze-thaw resistance, UV stability, and long-term adhesion in Calgary and Edmonton. These high-performance products minimize failures, reduce lifecycle costs, support sustainability with low-VOC options, and deliver reliable waterproofing against heavy precipitation, snow loads, and thermal cycling.

    Elastomeric Acrylic & Polyurethane Coatings

    Elastomeric coatings stretch over 300% to bridge cracks and accommodate movement from Alberta’s temperature extremes. Highly reflective, they reduce heat gain and energy bills while providing seamless waterproof barriers on roofs, walls, and decks. UV-stable and weather-resistant, they offer excellent adhesion to concrete, metal, and existing systems with low maintenance needs for commercial longevity.

    Polyurea Spray Systems

    Polyurea delivers rapid-cure, high-build protection with superior tensile strength and chemical resistance. Ideal for industrial floors, secondary containment, and traffic decks in harsh Alberta conditions, it forms a tough, seamless membrane resistant to abrasion, impacts, and corrosion. Fast return-to-service minimizes downtime, while flexibility prevents cracking in freeze-thaw environments.

    High-Solids Silicone Coatings

    Silicone coatings provide premium ponding resistance and extreme weatherability for flat commercial roofs. Breathable to prevent blistering yet impermeable to liquid water, they offer exceptional UV and biological resistance in Calgary and Edmonton’s variable climate. High reflectivity lowers cooling demands, with easy application and recoatability ensuring decades of reliable, low-maintenance waterproof performance.

    Hot-Applied Rubberized Asphalt Membranes

    Hot rubberized asphalt creates monolithic, self-healing membranes with outstanding flexibility and adhesion for below-grade and plaza waterproofing. Proven in northern climates, it withstands hydrostatic pressure, root penetration, and thermal shock without joints. Combined with protection boards, it delivers durable, long-term moisture barriers for foundations and structures in Alberta’s demanding conditions.

    Crystalline & Cementitious Waterproofing

    Crystalline technologies penetrate concrete to form self-sealing crystals that block water pathways and heal cracks over time. Cementitious slurries add rigid protection for walls and foundations. In commercial below-grade applications across Calgary and Edmonton, these proactive systems provide permanent, maintenance-free defense against moisture, efflorescence, and corrosion in high-water-table or hydrostatic environments.
