    Our Process

    Roofing Concern Discussion

    Our process begins with understanding why you are considering waterproofing or roof coating. We discuss your concerns, including leaks, moisture marks, ageing materials, ponding water, previous repairs, or seasonal roof wear. We also ask about your roof type, property age, and any areas that have caused repeated problems. This conversation helps us decide what needs closer attention during inspection.
     
    By learning the full picture first, we can guide you with practical recommendations instead of rushed answers. For Alberta homeowners, this step creates a clear starting point for better roof protection and future maintenance planning.

    Roof Surface Inspection

    After the consultation, our team carefully inspects the roof surface and related components. We look for cracks, worn areas, weak seams, damaged flashing, open edges, drainage concerns, and signs of trapped moisture. Markit Roofing checks whether the roof is suitable for coating or needs repair before any protective product is applied. A coating works best when the surface is properly prepared and structurally sound.
     
    We explain our findings in simple language so you know what can be treated, what should be repaired, and how waterproofing can safely support your Alberta home against future weather exposure.

    Cleaning and Preparation

    Before applying waterproofing or coating, we prepare the roof surface to ensure better adhesion and performance. This may include cleaning the surface, removing loose debris, addressing minor defects, sealing vulnerable points, and making sure problem areas are ready for treatment. Good preparation is important because coating over dirt, moisture, or damaged sections can reduce results.
     
    Our team works carefully and safely, respecting your home and surrounding property. This stage helps create a stronger base for the protective application, allowing your Alberta roof to receive more dependable coverage against rain, snow, and seasonal moisture.

    Coating Application and Review

    Once preparation is complete, we apply the selected waterproofing or coating solution, paying close attention to coverage, consistency, and vulnerable roof sections. We focus on areas where moisture commonly enters, including seams, flashing, edges, and worn surfaces. After the application, we review the work, check important details, and explain simple care steps for maintaining the treated roof.

    Our goal is to leave your home with added protection and clearer confidence. This final step helps Alberta homeowners improve roof resistance, reduce future water concerns, and support longer-lasting performance through changing weather conditions and seasonal challenges ahead.

    Different Types of Residential Waterproofing & Coatings

    Exterior foundation of residential roof waterproofing is the most effective long-term solution for Calgary and Edmonton homes. This method involves excavating around the foundation, applying a high-quality waterproof membrane, installing drainage boards, and adding weeping tiles to redirect water away. It stops moisture before it reaches the concrete, preventing leaks, cracks, and ice damage during freeze-thaw cycles. Though more invasive, exterior waterproofing provides superior protection and is highly recommended for homes with persistent basement moisture issues in Alberta’s wet springs and cold winters.

    Interior basement waterproofing is a practical, less disruptive option ideal when exterior excavation is difficult. This system uses interior drainage channels, sump pumps, and vapor barriers to collect and remove water that enters through walls or floors. Combined with wall coatings or sealants, it effectively manages moisture and prevents flooding. Perfect for many Calgary and Edmonton homes, interior waterproofing offers quick installation, immediate results, and reliable performance against groundwater pressure without major yard disruption.

    Protective concrete and masonry coatings create a tough, waterproof barrier on foundations, garage floors, and exterior walls. These advanced coatings resist water penetration, chemicals, salt, and freeze-thaw damage common in Alberta. Available in clear sealers or decorative finishes, they prevent efflorescence, spalling, and staining while enhancing durability and appearance. Ideal for both new and existing homes in Calgary and Edmonton, these coatings extend the life of concrete surfaces exposed to harsh weather.

    Roof and deck waterproofing uses specialized liquid-applied or sheet membranes to create a seamless, flexible waterproof layer on flat roofs, balconies, and decks. These systems handle ponding water, UV exposure, and extreme temperature swings in Alberta. They prevent leaks into living spaces and protect underlying structures from rot and mold. Popular for modern homes and condos in Calgary and Edmonton, roof and deck waterproofing provides long-lasting, low-maintenance protection with excellent flexibility during freeze-thaw cycles.

    Best Materials for Residential Roof Waterproofing & Coatings

    Selecting the right materials is critical for effective residential roof waterproofing in Calgary and Edmonton’s severe climate. Materials must handle freeze-thaw expansion, hydrostatic pressure, UV exposure, and heavy snow loads while remaining flexible and durable for decades. High-quality products ensure superior adhesion, crack-bridging ability, and long-term performance against Alberta’s challenging weather conditions.

    Polyurethane & Polyurea Coatings

    TPO Roofing

    Polyurethane and polyurea coatings are premium liquid-applied waterproofing solutions that cure into a seamless, highly flexible membrane. They excel in Alberta’s freeze-thaw cycles due to excellent elongation and crack-bridging properties. Fast-curing and extremely durable, these coatings resist water, chemicals, and abrasion, making them ideal for foundations, decks, and roofs in Calgary and Edmonton. They provide superior protection with minimal downtime during application.

    Rubberized Asphalt Membranes

    Rubberized asphalt membranes offer outstanding flexibility and waterproofing performance in cold Canadian climates. Modified with rubber for elasticity, they accommodate movement from temperature changes without cracking. Commonly used for exterior foundations and below-grade applications, these self-adhesive or torch-applied membranes create a monolithic barrier against water and ice damage. Reliable and cost-effective for residential homes across Alberta.

    HDPE Dimpled Membranes

    HDPE dimpled membranes provide excellent drainage and waterproofing protection for foundations. The dimples create an air gap that allows water to drain away while the high-density polyethylene sheet blocks moisture. Ideal for exterior foundation walls in Calgary and Edmonton, they resist soil pressure and freeze-thaw damage. Easy to install and highly effective at preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup behind basement walls.

    Cementitious Waterproofing Coatings

    Cementitious coatings are rigid or flexible polymer-modified coatings applied like paint to concrete and masonry surfaces. They penetrate and bond chemically, forming a strong waterproof barrier that resists positive and negative water pressure. Suitable for basements, foundations, and retaining walls, these coatings are breathable yet highly effective against moisture in Alberta’s variable climate. Affordable and easy to apply for both interior and exterior use.

    Bentonite Clay Waterproofing

    Bentonite clay waterproofing uses natural sodium bentonite that swells upon contact with water to create a tight seal. Applied as panels or in liquid form, it self-heals minor cracks and provides reliable below-grade protection. Popular for foundation waterproofing in Calgary and Edmonton, bentonite is environmentally friendly and performs well under hydrostatic pressure, offering long-term protection without synthetic chemicals.
