Coastal Waterproofing
Comprehensive Protection for Florida’s Coastal Buildings
Living and building near the coast brings constant exposure to moisture, wind-driven rain, salt spray, and rising water levels. Over time, these forces wear down even the most well-constructed buildings. At EIRS, our Coastal Waterproofing service is designed specifically for high-risk properties along Florida’s coastline — offering targeted, building-wide solutions that stop water intrusion before it becomes structural damage.
What Is Coastal Waterproofing?
Coastal Waterproofing is a layered system of sealing and protecting your building envelope — including the roof, walls, foundation, walkways, and balcony structures — against water infiltration, salt corrosion, and long-term decay. Our approach blends industry-best materials with construction techniques that address known coastal vulnerabilities, particularly for condominiums and mid-rise buildings near the water.
What’s Included
Exterior Wall & Façade Sealing
Application of high-performance coatings and elastomeric membranes to protect concrete, stucco, and masonry surfaces from moisture and UV damage.
Drainage & Slope Correction
Improper slope leads to water pooling and eventual structural damage. We assess and correct drainage issues to ensure water flows away from the structure and off the deck.
Foundation Protection
Sealing of below-grade walls, slab edges, and exposed foundations using commercial-grade membranes and joint sealants.
Flood Panel & Barrier Integration
Option to integrate FEMA-rated flood protection systems, including aluminum flood panels from Hydra Flood Pro.
Roof Membrane Systems
Long-lasting PVC and TPO membranes that tie into wall flashing systems to prevent edge water intrusion.
Joint & Expansion Sealants
Replacement or installation of high-movement sealants around windows, doors, handrails, and vertical seams.
Why It Matters
Building Envelope Evaluations
Before we recommend any waterproofing solution, we evaluate the condition of the building’s full envelope — including walls, balconies, windows, and roofing transitions. Our assessments help identify water intrusion risks, sealant failures, or areas of exposure that often go unnoticed until they become costly.
How We Work
Our team performs a full site assessment and visual inspection, including aerial drone footage if needed. We then develop a custom waterproofing plan tailored to your structure’s condition, elevation, materials, and maintenance history.
