Under-slab waterproofing for a Catholic High-school Gym construction
On a recent project for a Catholic high school’s new gym construction in San Diego, we encountered significant design challenges, particularly with the insulation installation. The original insulation dimensions did not account for the necessary 4-inch space for the concrete pour, which would have required a complete redesign and delayed the schedule by about three weeks, leading to considerable additional costs. Tasked with finding a solution, I dedicated three days to modify the insulation system, successfully adapting it to accommodate the concrete without adversely affecting the project timeline. This proactive approach ensured we met our deadlines and kept the project within budget.
Deck restoration and repair for a residential apartment
This is a recent project to repair and restore a deck. We removed stucco to replace old flashing. Installed a metal lath system and applied cementitious coating. Installed fiberglass, texture and paint. The quality of our work significantly improved and restored the deck area.
Waterproofing a shower pan with a cold fluid-applied membrane
We prepared the surface by wire-brushing and blowing the area to be coated. Foreign objects and chemicals are removed. Concrete or wood must be dry for the sloping cementitious application. For plywood surfaces, we installed a meta-lath mesh with staples. Roofing paper is nailed where the membrane wraps onto the wall. Polyurethane caulking was applied at seams, the paper's bottom, and around the drain. Finally, we installed the membrane and broadcast sand for a strong tile bond.
