The Importance of Waterproofing In MultiFamily Housing

If you’re a property manager or owner of a multi-family housing or commercial building in the Southeastern United States, the Orlando/Atlanta areas, I’m sure you’re well acquainted with the never-ending maintenance list.

A mandatory step in construction is waterproofing your building, unfortunately the elements takes a toll and over time deteriorates the original materials. A building’s exterior protects the building as well as provide architectural character.

Theoretically the components making up the exterior wall should last typically 20 years. Due to installation defects and product failures, many buildings require renovations much sooner.

If your multifamily is showing signs of water intrusion, it’s imperative you take appropriate steps to mitigate the problem. Water damage can quickly threaten the safety and health of the occupants, compromise the structural integrity, and even expose the building to code violations.

Some tell-tale signs of water intrusion include; stains, water leakage, cracks in stone panels, glass breakage, mold,decaying wood or concrete materials.
