Caulking & Waterproofing

Water damage can occur through newly formed cracks, openings or broken seals on your building’s exterior. Wear and tear brought on by temperature fluctuations or settling cause expansion and contraction that can damage your building’s exterior surfaces as well as the seals around windows and other such openings. Water damage can lead to mold, mildew, structural problems and costly repairs. Regular maintenance is the best and cheapest approach. If you own or operate commercial, industrial or multi-residential buildings in Vancouver, Vanguard Painting’s caulking and waterproofing services can help protect your investment by completely restoring your waterproofing system.

About Caulking and Waterproofing

Preparation is key to the caulking and waterproofing of your building. Vanguard Painting’s experienced crew will carefully remove the old material and prepare all the surfaces of your building. Once the site is prepared, we can either apply new caulk, epoxy injections, sealants, elastomeric coatings, or other waterproofing materials to your building depending on the substrate material and waterproofing needs. Commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties present complex structural complexities and challenges to waterproofing and require a highly trained and experienced crew to do the job properly. If it isn’t done properly, it could make things worse by preventing moisture from evaporating. If done well, the benefits are critical to the building’s longevity including:

  • Protects the structure from damage due to water penetration
  • Keeps moisture out for mold and mildew prevention
  • Boosts energy efficiency
  • Maintains healthy airflow
  • Helps prevent weather damage
  • Provides a nice, clean aesthetics

Caulking & Waterproofing on Commercial Buildings

Caulking and waterproofing your commercial buildings can save you money by reducing maintenance and repair costs and by improving energy efficiency. Caulking and waterproofing can also boost the aesthetic appeal of your building — important for your public-facing establishments to attract and retain customers. Waterproofing will inhibit colour leaching and stains from mold and mildew. It can also help prevent cracks that can occur when water penetrates a surface.

"The British Columbia Transplant Society recently contracted with Vanguard Painting to repaint our entire office, including patient exam rooms, patient waiting room and patient washrooms… We were very pleased with the Vanguard team. Everyone we dealt with was pleasant, efficient and they did exactly what they said they were going do, when they said they would do it. We would definitely recommend Vanguard as well as use them again ourselves."

"We recently contracted Vanguard to paint our interior offices and production facility and are extremely pleased with the results. As a marketing services company, it was critical that the finished product look spotless. Vanguard helped us choose the right paint for the job in order to get the look we wanted and stay on budget. They also made suggestions along the way and were very flexible in accommodating our requests. I would highly recommend Vanguard Painting. Quentin and his crew are not only professional – they’re great guys who cleaned up at the end of each day, were always polite, and completed the work on time."
