Waterproofing Questions From Arlington Property Managers
What typically causes waterproofing failures in Arlington's older buildings?
Many Arlington properties, particularly older buildings near the Entertainment District and South Arlington, were built before current expectations for building envelope sealing and slab moisture protection, so their original waterproofing details often can't keep pace with today's storm intensity and soil movement. Deck coatings and foundation seals installed decades ago are common points of failure.
We inspect these older assemblies for the specific ways they were originally waterproofed before recommending upgrades, rather than assuming a generic membrane replacement will solve the problem.
How do Arlington's clay soil and storms actually affect waterproofing?
North Texas expansive clay soils shrink and swell heavily between wet and dry cycles, stressing slabs and foundation waterproofing year round, while Arlington's spring hail and severe thunderstorms and heavy rain events regularly overwhelm drainage systems built for gentler conditions. Add in triple digit summer heat and occasional hard freezes like February 2021, and waterproofing materials face constant expansion and contraction stress.
We evaluate soil movement and drainage capacity at each site and design systems built to handle Arlington's full range of climate stress, not just average conditions.
Can waterproofing work be scheduled without disrupting our tenants or residents?
Waterproofing projects on occupied commercial and multi-family properties in Arlington need careful sequencing around tenant access, parking, and building operations, and timelines vary depending on scope, whether it's foundation work, deck waterproofing, or full envelope sealing. HOA boards and property managers also need clear documentation to support any required approvals.
We build phased schedules that limit disruption to residents and tenants and provide the inspection and testing records boards typically need for sign off.
