Parking Garage and Structure Waterproofing

Parking garage and structure waterproofing that seals decks, joints and cracks, adds traffic coatings and improves drainage to protect concrete and steel from salt and water.

Parking structures are exposed to rain, de-icing salts, oil and heavy loads all year. Water that gets into joints and cracks can rust reinforcing steel, stain ceilings and drip on cars below. Maintenance is far less work than major repair, and many garages show early signs, such as white stains at cracks, wet ceilings under the deck or ponding water. Nashville has garages of every age, from older downtown decks to new mixed-use structures, and each needs its own reading.

We walk the structure with the owner or engineer, noting cracks, joints, drains, ponding, coating wear and underside stains. We clean and repair cracks, seal expansion and control joints and prepare the surface for traffic-rated membranes or coatings. We improve drainage by clearing, repairing or adding drains and sloping where practical. Work is phased by level so spaces remain open when possible. Any structural concern is referred to a structural engineer, and we follow their repair and testing plan on larger projects. We provide records of areas treated.

Salt and water attack steel

Cracks and joints let water reach the reinforcing steel inside the concrete.

Flexible joints

Moving joints need flexible sealants that handle traffic and weather.

Drains that work

Clearing and repairing deck drains stops ponding.
