Waterproofing Vancouver

MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) is the go-to system when downtime is the client's primary concern. A multi-layer system — primer, base coat, quartz/silica broadcast, topcoat — applied section by section. Each layer has a rapid recoat window and the full system is typically installed overnight. Strata tenants and commercial users are back on the floor by morning. Cures in any temperature, including sub-zero BC winters. Provides colour options and slip-resistant aggregate profile.

An elastomeric, multi-layer polyurethane waterproofing system that bridges dynamic cracks and accommodates structural movement — essential for concrete decks subject to thermal expansion, live loads, and seismic activity. Applied as a seamless, monolithic membrane with anti-slip aggregate broadcast topcoat. The most widely specified system on new high-rise construction in BC. Excellent long-term waterproofing and durability.

Polyurea is a spray-applied, seamless coating that cures in seconds, provides excellent waterproofing, and can elongate up to 600% to bridge cracks. Hybrid systems combine polyurea or polyurethane base coats with polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoats — each layer specified for a specific performance role. Used on high-traffic ramps, turning areas, and demanding structural applications where standard membrane systems need additional reinforcement.

A two-step penetrating concrete protection system by Protocol Environmental Solutions — a BC-based supplier. Step 1: WashAway Xtreme cleans the concrete surface, removes oil, stains, and efflorescence, and opens the pore structure to the required surface profile. Step 2: DualGuard is sprayed onto the prepared surface and penetrates 1–3mm into the concrete matrix, creating a permanent internal waterproof membrane that protects from the inside out. No colour, no topical coating — just permanent protection. Used on parkade columns, walls, and bare concrete surfaces. Fast to apply, minimal disruption, high margin. The same system used on Canada Place, Easy Park, Pacific Centre, and multiple TransLink stations in Vancouver.
