WHY A WATERPROOFING
BUSINESS
Of all the different businesses that you could start, why start a waterproofing business? Well, first and foremost, waterproofing business startups are always in demand, now more than ever with the widespread accessibility of cost-effective waterproofing technology. Waterproofing is used in just about every industry and application, from stadium waterproofing to manhole rehabilitation, protecting surfaces from corrosion and preventing water infiltration that can lead to structural damage or harbor hazardous microbial life. But the demand is one thing; there are plenty of businesses with sufficient demand. What makes a waterproofing business startup so uniquely appealing, is that it requires only a modest initial investment, and all of the training and certifications can be mastered within only a matter of days. This low financial barrier to entry and easily obtainable skillsets make waterproofing the much-desired black sheep of easy to start, high-reward business opportunities. Becoming a certified professional applicator is the best way to start your entrepreneurial journey, and begin to build a coatings empire!

POLYUREA AND POLYURETHANE
WATERPROOFING TECHNOLOGY
Countless paints and coatings have been developed to provide a waterproofing solution for structures and surfaces of all types, and for myriad different applications. However, few technologies compare to polyurea and polyurethane’s unique combination of high-performance and application versatility, making them an all-in-one waterproofing solution. Polyurethane was the first of the two materials to be developed, and excels as a strong but flexible waterproof barrier. Its application as a spray foam makes it perfect for soundproofing and building insulation, and can be formulated as a dedicated waterproofing layer. If flexibility isn’t as important for any given project, polyurea, polyurethane’s later developed sister material, will provide advanced strength and durability while only improving performance as a waterproof barrier. Polyurea was developed in the 1980s out of a growing demand for a faster reacting, and more moisture insensitive version of polyurethane – and voila; polyurea was born! Polyurea is less flexible than polyurethane, but makes up for it with superior strength and chemical resistance, forming a seamless waterproof membrane that can withstand everything from forceful impacts to chemical corrosion and even UV radiation. Both materials can be applied with different methods, mostly commonly including high-pressure spray equipment that make almost any project a breeze. Together, polyurea and polyurethane form a robust arsenal of waterproofing technology, ready to take your business to the chemical plant, car wash, grocery store, or almost anywhere else you can think of!
WATERPROOFING APPLICATIONS
One of the biggest advantages enjoyed by waterproofing business startups is the wide applicability of waterproofing materials. Waterproofing technology has countless and still growing numbers of different applications, which span private, commercial, and industrial sectors:
Footbridge Waterproofing
Footbridges, whether indoors or outside, are highly vulnerable to harsh abrasion, high-moisture, UV radiation, and many other stressors.
Stadium Waterproofing
Protecting home-field advantage means installing robust waterproofing systems across floors, ceilings, and structural elements.
Plaza Deck Waterproofing
Plaza decks, whether roofs, floors, driveways, courtyards, or other outdoor spaces, are susceptible to corrosion and water damage, as well as other physical and chemical risk factors.
Silo Sealing
Silos are responsible for the bulk storage of foundational commodities including grain, coal, and cement, and require robust waterproofing to keep storage systems safe and dry.
Manhole Rehabilitation
Trenchless manhole rehabilitation using polyurea or polyurethane technology allows for easy and effective repair and reinforcement, without investing significant time or money.
Basement Waterproofing
By virtue of their underground location, basements are more vulnerable to water infiltration and damage than other building spaces, and require advanced waterproofing protection.
