Professional Waterproofing for Podiums, Planters & Structural Slabs
We specialize in installing waterproofing systems over structural concrete surfaces across Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu.
Our work ensures podium decks, planters, structural slabs, and retaining walls are fully sealed against water penetration — maintaining the integrity and performance of the structure over time.
Purpose of Structural Concrete Waterproofing
Structural concrete is strong and versatile, but it is naturally porous. Without a proper waterproofing system, water infiltration can lead to corrosion of reinforcement steel, delamination, and leaks into occupied or structural spaces.
Our systems are designed to create a continuous, watertight barrier over concrete substrates while allowing for controlled drainage and vapor management.
Where It’s Used
Podium decks and structural slabs over garages or occupied spaces
Planter boxes and landscaped podiums
Concrete terraces and flat roofs
Retaining walls and exposed structural elements
Balcony transitions to vertical walls
Each application requires a unique system configuration based on exposure, slope, and drainage design.
Waterproofing Systems We Install
Fluid-Applied Membranes
Cold-applied, seamless membranes ideal for complex decks and planter transitions.
They form a monolithic barrier that bonds directly to concrete and resists cracking and ponding.
Sheet-Applied Systems
Pre-formed membranes and composite layers for consistent thickness and performance.
Often used where controlled laps and overlap integrity are critical.
Drainage & Protection Layers
Drainage mats, protection boards, and root barriers for planters or vegetated decks.
These components relieve hydrostatic pressure, manage flow, and protect membranes during construction.
Flashing & Detailing
Precision detailing is performed at wall-to-slab transitions, penetrations, drains, and expansion joints to maintain full continuity of the waterproofing system.
Surface Preparation & Application
Proper waterproofing performance begins with substrate readiness.
Before any membrane installation:
Surfaces are cleaned and inspected for laitance, cracks, or irregularities.
Joints and penetrations are treated according to system requirements.
Primer or bonding agents are applied where specified.
Protection boards and drainage layers are added before topping slabs or finishes.
Drainage Integration
For decks and podiums, managing water is as important as blocking it.
We integrate:
Positive sloping toward drains
Drainage composites beneath pavers or soil
Filter fabrics to prevent clogging
Outlets and scuppers for consistent flow management
These measures protect the structural concrete and extend the life of finishes above.
Quality & Compliance
All waterproofing installations are performed in compliance with Division 07 – Waterproofing standards and manufacturer specifications.
Field conditions are reviewed before application, and systems are protected prior to finishes or landscaping.
