Waterproofing for Older Homes in Bangor, ME

Older homes, especially those built before modern waterproofing standards, are particularly prone to water intrusion. Older farmhouses and capes often have a patchwork of copper, galvanized, and plastic plumbing from many decades of repairs. Many older foundations may lack adequate exterior drainage or proper sealing. We specialize in assessing and upgrading waterproofing systems for these properties, often combining exterior excavation with interior drainage solutions. We respect the existing structure while installing modern, effective waterproofing, with attention to the challenges of older brick and stone foundations.

Shower Pan Leak Repair and Waterproofing in Bangor, ME

A cracked or poorly sloped shower pan often causes wet baseboards and stained ceilings below. We test the pan by plugging the drain and flooding it to confirm the leak. Then we rebuild the pan with correct pre-slope, a new liner or bonded membrane and a properly clamped drain. A second flood test proves the pan is watertight before tile.

Commercial Wall Waterproofing in Bangor

Restaurants, gyms, salons and offices often have restrooms, locker rooms and kitchens with constant water exposure. We waterproof commercial showers, mop sink walls and restroom wet walls with durable membranes. Work can be scheduled after hours to limit downtime. We also repair the plumbing behind those walls when leaks are found.

Crawl Space Vapor Barriers in Bangor

Many homes in Bangor have crawl spaces, which are highly susceptible to moisture issues. Installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier on crawl space walls and floors is a key waterproofing strategy. This thick polyethylene sheeting prevents ground moisture from evaporating into the crawl space, protecting subflooring and joists and improving indoor air quality. It's an affordable way to control humidity and prevent wood rot.

Shower Wall Waterproofing in Bangor

Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own, so water reaches the backer board in every shower. If the walls were built without a proper membrane, moisture soaks into studs and drywall. We remove failing tile, install cement board or foam board and apply a membrane such as Schluter Kerdi, RedGard or Hydro Ban. Seams, corners and niches get extra attention before new tile is set.

Exterior Block Wall Waterproofing in Bangor, ME

Block and stem walls often show efflorescence, which is the white mineral crust left when water passes through masonry. Irrigation and sprinklers aimed at the house are common culprits. We adjust or reroute irrigation, clean the wall and apply a breathable masonry sealer or elastomeric coating. Proper grading and drip line placement help keep the wall dry.

Below-Grade and Basement Wall Waterproofing in Bangor

Older farmhouses and capes often have a patchwork of copper, galvanized, and plastic plumbing from many decades of repairs. Wherever a home has a basement or below-grade walls, heavy rain and snowmelt can push water through foundation walls and cracks. We seal cracks with injection products, apply interior or exterior waterproofing and install drainage where needed. A sump pump may be added if groundwater collects.
