Protect Your Commercial Building from Water Damage
When businesses and other organizations in the Delaware Valley need commercial waterproofing solutions, they turn to the experts at AWS. We’re a fully licensed and insured waterproofing contractor that provides many services beyond waterproofing, including foundation repair, interior and exterior drainage, and mold remediation. At AWS, we appreciate that there is no one-size-fits-all waterproofing solution and will develop effective solutions that are uniquely suited to your commercial property.
Waterproof Your Property
Excess moisture that is not channeled away from your building will eventually lead to a serious problem, and having an issue with water is something that can occur over time due to soil erosion, landscaping, and so on. How we deal with your specific issues will depend very much on the extent of the problems and the unique characteristics of your building and property. If you have standing water when it rains, we can develop a custom drainage solution that channels that water to where it won’t do harm, and if you are experiencing water intrusion, such as in a below-ground floor, we can seal the foundation in order to protect it and prevent the water from getting inside in the future.
Signs Your Business May Have a Problem
To determine if you need commercial waterproofing, it’s important to look for indications of a problem both inside and outside the building. If you experience standing water and have a well-functioning gutter system, then you have a drainage problem and likely need a custom drainage system to channel that water away. Left unchecked, standing water will eventually lead to water intrusion, and it can cause other problems for your commercial location, such as a mosquito infestation.
You may experience standing water in a basement as well, but be mindful that there are often indications of water intrusion before you get to that point. A common sign is efflorescence, which is the white powdery substance left behind due to minerals in the water. Mustiness is an indication, and be mindful that mold is a problem long before you can actually see it. Water stains and rotted wood are obvious indications, but you should also watch for cracks in walls and ceilings, as well as warped door frames.
Mitigate Existing Water Damage
AWS provides commercial waterproofing services that will eliminate problems like standing water and seepage. Our team can seal the foundation and interior area so those problems do not occur again. We also offer remediation services. Therefore, if you have water stains, water damage, or mold, we can correct those issues once the fundamental problem have been identified and fixed.

Interior and Exterior Waterproofing Services
Effective commercial waterproofing often requires both exterior and interior solutions. Exterior drainage solutions often begin with eliminating the moisture problem, such as through the design and installation of a drainage system. Of course, not all moisture can be prevented, so it’s usually a good idea to seal the exterior foundation in order to prevent water intrusion in the future. Depending on the scenario, it may also be necessary to waterproof the interior. This can include fixing rot and cracks but also applying caulk, waterproof paints, and other sealants, and sometimes, interior drainage may be necessary with the use of a sump pump.
Prevent Foundation Damage Before It’s Too Late
Foundations are easy to take for granted but are really integral to the overall health of your commercial building. A foundation is designed to support the load of the entire building but also the lateral movements that need to occur due to shifting and the wind. If a foundation is compromised and not functioning well, that fundamental issue can manifest as a wide range of problems throughout the building, including damage to the structure, floors, walls, doors, and so forth. Excess moisture is a leading cause of foundation problems, and our commercial waterproofing services will protect your foundation from hydrostatic pressure, expansive soils, erosion, and other common issues. Existing foundation problems will only worsen with time and become much more expensive to correct.
