How secure is your building from the unseen sources of water intrusion?
Commercial buildings feature intricate designs with multiple levels, large surface areas, and expansive windows and doors. Frequently, leaks caused by untreated walls and windows can be mistaken for roof leaks, making it harder to determine the source of the water intrusion.
Unfortunately, exterior surfaces often go untreated for years until a significant problem develops. The longer leaks persist, the more damage is done to your business. That’s why waterproofing the building envelope is essential to avoiding water intrusion.
Stop water from invading your building envelope and causing headaches due to leaks that could have been prevented.
Protect Your Property from Water Intrusion
When it comes to waterproofing, selecting the right materials is essential to keeping your business dry. At Ideal Building Solutions, we specialize in building envelope solutions for:
Stucco/EIFS Walls
We identify areas of water intrusion, often due to cracks or weak points in the facade, and apply specialized waterproofing treatments to fix the affected areas and prevent further damage from occurring.
Brick Walls
Our team of waterproofing experts can seal or coat brickwork to effectively seal against water penetration.
CMU Block Walls
To combat moisture issues in concrete masonry unit (CMU) block walls, we use a combination of waterproofing coatings and water repellents to ensure the structure remains dry and durable.
Stone/Tile Parapet Caps
Utilizing sealants and waterproof membranes specially designed for these materials, we can provide a waterproofing solution that can resist even the harshest weather.
Concrete Patios
By applying concrete sealers to patios, we create a waterproof barrier that can enhance the appearance of concrete structures while protecting against staining and wear.
IRMA Roofs
These roofs have a unique construction, with insulation on top of the membrane instead of underneath. We use a highly durable waterproofing membrane to ensure that the waterproofing layer remains intact and effective.

“Back in 2018 we were experiencing several roof leaking issues around our church campus. Ideal Roofing Services immediately set up a roof inspection and identified where the source of many of our problems were. Ideal prioritized the worst problems first and quoted a price for each of the issues. The biggest compliment I can give Ideal is the professionalism of their roofing crews while on the church campus. Their work was done right, and they cleaned up the site after each working day. To be able to have a contractor perform the work on time, within budget and have it done right is just simply a breath of fresh air. Ideal gets my 5-star rating and I would personally recommend anyone contract them for your commercial roofing needs whether it for repairs, re-roofing or new roof applications.”
