Caulking and
Sealants
Above-grade waterproofing with caulking
and sealants is a structure's first line of defense against the
elements. Caulking and Sealant products used are specifically selected
for the protection that is needed.

Building Cleaning
Effective cleaning of masonry on building
exteriors is critical for two reasons, it enhances the overall appearance
of the building and it removes the source of potentially damaging
elements. Building cleaning methods include pressurized applications
of water, chemicals, wet aggregate and soda blasting.

Epoxy Injection
Epoxy Injection is a bonding process
used to repair a wide variety of concrete and masonry structures.
The material not only fills cracks, but welds them together structurally
with an epoxy that is forced through the crack under pressure and
forms a bond that is stronger than the concrete itself.

Chemical Grout
Chemical grouts are materials which
mix readily with water at the time of application. As such, chemical
grout provides good penetration of wet joints, cracks and surrounding
soil. Chemical grout reacts with the water to form a waterproof
solid, stopping the water that is infiltrating the building or structure.

Concrete Repair
and Leveling
Concrete restoration involves everything
from the repair of concrete slabs to the replacement of concrete
walkways, patios, slabs, walls, etc. We can do the total restoration
job to meet your needs. We apply conservation principles and processes
for the preservation, restoration or reconstruction of buildings,
as appropriate, particularly if they have historical value.

Epoxy
& Urethane Floor Coatings
Epoxy and Urethane coatings are often
used on floors because of their reputation for toughness and durability
from abrasion, heavy traffic and chemicals. Strickland Waterproofing
has the experience to tackle any job. Call today and let our experience
work for you.

Expansion Joint
Systems
Expansion and control joints are incorporated
into a structure to accommodate expansion and contraction forces.
Restoring expansion joint integrity is essential to the entire structure.
Whenever joints are damaged, deteriorated or improperly sealed,
eventually expansion joint systems fail to perform their intended
mission.

Repointing
Repointing is the process of replacing
deteriorated mortar between masonry units. Once the old mortar is
removed mechanically or by hand, fresh mortar is placed into the
joint cavity and then the joint is tooled.

EIFS/ Stucco Repair
EFIS typically consist of an insulation
board made of polystyrene foam (which is secured to the exterior
wall surface with an adhesive and/or mechanical attachments), a
water-resistant base coat applied on top of the insulation and reinforced
with fiberglass mesh, and a finish coat typically using acrylic
co-polymer technology. This type of system is often referred to
as artificial stucco.The main locations where water tends to infiltrate
into the framing structure of a building using an EIFS is around
doors and windows, where the roof connects to the EIFS (roof flashing),
and below extended exterior deck connections. Also, any moisture
from within the home trying to find a path out will likely be thwarted
by the EIFS.
top
Most stucco deterioration is the result
of water infiltration into the building structure, either through
the roof, around chimneys, window and door openings, or excessive
ground water or moisture penetrating through, or splashing up from
the foundation. Strickland Waterproofing can determine the cause
of deterioration and make any necessary repairs to the building
before repairing the stucco. Such work is likely to include repairs
designed to keep excessive water away from the stucco, such as roof,
gutter, downspout and flashing repairs, improving drainage, and
redirecting rainwater runoff and splash-back away from the building.

Shotcreting
Shotcrete is sprayed concrete or mortar.
In the wet mix process all the ingredients, including water, are
premixed. The mix is then pumped to the nozzle where compressed
air blows it into the substrate. Shotcrete has a wide range of uses
- casting new structures, swimming pools, sculpting waterscapes,
lining tunnels and ditche, paving slopes and complex shapes such
as skateboard parks and earth retaining structures, strengthening
and repairing existing structures of all types, providing fireproofing
and chemical protection to steel, and construction of tanks, basement
walls (underground parking facilities) and any other place that
can not be formed and poured. The use of shotcrete to build new
concrete structures as well as to restore and repair existing structures
is well known and documented.

Pigeon
Proofing
Pigeon droppings are acidic and cause
damage to buildings, and also to lawns and shrubberies. Nest material,
droppings and feathers can clog gutters, drains and air vents. Pigeon
proofing buildings is the most effective way to reduce or eliminate
pigeons and should be the first method of control.
Strickland Waterproofing has built
up a strong reputation over a number of years of offering efficient,
cost effective solutions to prevent birds from perching and roosting.
One option is installing porcupine strips. These keep pigeons away
from balustrades, mouldings, gutters, metal beams, show cases, air
conditions, ventilation systems and similar equipment. Porcupine
strips can be attached to material such as stone, metal or wood.
Another option is the use of netting, which is the most efficient
and effective method to prevent birds from entering parking garages,
airline hangers, warehouses, loading docks, attics, eves, courtyards
and other exposed enclosures. Netting is manufactured from knotted
polyethylene twine, is flame resistant, and very strong. When installed,
netting is virtually invisible. Stirckland Waterproofing has the
expertise and experience to get rid of your pigeon problem. Let
us help you protect your structure from future pigeon damage. Request

Parking
Deck Restoration
Parking garages are significant investments
that require care and maintenance. Each Parking garage is an integration
of components functioning together as one. All systems must be in
good repair in order to maximize the life of the structure. Restoration
and waterproofing are key elements to extending the life of parking
decks and parking garages.

Elastomeric
Coatings
Elastomeric coating is a thick, rubberized
paint product relatively high in acrylic content. Generally water-based,
it creates a waterproof membrane between stucco or masonry substrate
and outside elements. With 300% elasticity, this coating can bridge
cracks up to 1/8" wide when applied properly.
