Waterproofing
Concrete Waterproofing Services in Texas & Louisiana
Concrete is known for its strength and durability, but even the toughest structures are vulnerable to water damage without proper protection. Across Texas and Louisiana, moisture, humidity, and frequent rainfall create challenging conditions for concrete foundations, walls, and slabs. That’s why concrete waterproofing services are essential for keeping both commercial and industrial buildings safe, stable, and long-lasting.
At Ashton Sawing and Drilling, we specialize in providing complete waterproofing solutions that protect concrete surfaces from the inside out. Our team combines experience, technology, and precision to ensure every project is built to perform under real-world conditions.
Why Waterproofing Is Essential
Concrete is naturally porous, which means water can seep through tiny openings over time. When that happens, moisture can cause corrosion in steel reinforcements, cracks in foundations, and surface deterioration. In the warm and humid climates of Texas and Louisiana, that process accelerates quickly. Proper foundation waterproofing is the best defense against these risks.
Waterproofing doesn’t just protect the structure; it also safeguards interior spaces and valuable assets. By blocking moisture at the source, we help prevent mold growth, floor damage, and costly repairs. For commercial and industrial clients, that means fewer interruptions and a safer working environment year-round.
Comprehensive Commercial Waterproofing Solutions
Our commercial waterproofing solutions are designed to meet the needs of large-scale facilities, from warehouses and manufacturing plants to hospitals and parking garages. Each environment comes with unique challenges, and our experts tailor the approach to match the project’s structure, location, and exposure level.
We use advanced materials that create long-lasting barriers without affecting the appearance or performance of the concrete. These include high-performance coatings, membranes, and admixtures that bond directly with the concrete to resist moisture penetration. Whether applied during new construction or as part of a restoration project, our waterproofing systems deliver long-term reliability.
Industrial Waterproofing Systems for Demanding Environments
Industrial facilities often face harsher conditions than standard commercial buildings. Heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and constant use can all wear down surfaces over time. That’s why we install industrial waterproofing systems built to handle the most demanding settings.
Our team works with high-strength coatings and membranes that protect against water, oil, and chemical intrusion. We also provide options that meet specific industry standards for durability and safety. From refineries and power plants to transportation terminals, our waterproofing applications keep critical operations running smoothly.
Basement & Slab Waterproofing
In low-lying areas or buildings with below-grade levels, basement and slab waterproofing is vital to maintaining structural integrity. Water intrusion at the foundation can cause cracks, uneven floors, and long-term damage to equipment or storage areas.
We offer both interior and exterior methods to stop leaks and prevent future problems. For new construction, we can integrate waterproofing membranes and drainage systems during placement to ensure lasting protection. For existing structures, we apply specialized coatings and sealants that bond to the surface and block moisture at its entry point.
Foundation Waterproofing for Long-Term Stability
A building’s foundation supports everything above it. When water penetrates that foundation, it weakens the entire structure. Our foundation waterproofing services are designed to prevent that from happening.
We inspect every project site to identify potential water entry points, soil conditions, and drainage patterns. Then we apply a waterproofing system suited to the environment, whether that involves liquid-applied membranes, sheet barriers, or integral additives. The result is a dry, secure foundation that stands strong against groundwater, rain, and hydrostatic pressure.
Techniques & Materials We Use
At Ashton Sawing and Drilling, we rely on proven techniques supported by modern materials. Depending on the structure’s location and purpose, we may use polyurethane coatings, crystalline waterproofing compounds, or cementitious membranes. These systems work either by forming a physical barrier or by reacting chemically within the concrete to close its pores.
We also consider how each project interacts with other concrete services, such as mass concrete placement, structural concrete, and concrete sealing. By coordinating every phase of the work, we ensure complete protection from start to finish.
Adapting to Regional Conditions in Texas & Louisiana
Climate and geography play a major role in waterproofing effectiveness. Texas and Louisiana are both prone to heavy rainfall, high humidity, and soil with poor drainage. These conditions make proper moisture control essential for long-term structural performance.
Our local experience helps us anticipate and solve these challenges. We know how Gulf Coast weather affects curing, sealing, and long-term water resistance. Whether your project is in Houston, Dallas, Baton Rouge, or New Orleans, our waterproofing approach is tailored to withstand the region’s unique environment.
Maintenance & Ongoing Protection
Even the best waterproofing systems require periodic inspection. Over time, natural wear and environmental changes can affect how sealants and membranes perform. We provide concrete maintenance tips and follow-up services that extend protection and prevent costly water-related damage.
Regular maintenance not only saves money but also ensures that your structure continues to meet performance and safety standards. By partnering with Ashton Sawing and Drilling for ongoing care, you can expect reliable support from a team that understands your building from the ground up.
