When water pools against your siding and foundation, it creates more than an eyesore. Trapped moisture encourages mildew and damages the wood trim that protects your home.

Protect Your Home's Exterior

Wet basements and damp siding need fixing. Exterior Waterproofing stops water before it reaches your home by sealing foundation walls and installing proper drainage. It prevents hydrostatic pressure from cracking concrete and trapping moisture in your sheathing.

We apply heavy-duty membranes and direct downspouts away from your foundation. This protects your siding and trim from rot and mold. Your home’s exterior stays dry and strong through every Metro Vancouver rainy season.

Coverage in Government Road

Paragon Exteriors provides exterior waterproofing to homeowners on Government Road. Heavy coastal rains can damage older home exteriors, so keeping foundations and siding dry matters.

Concerned about strata rules during your exterior remodel? The right contractor helps. We handle the details so your siding and drainage upgrades meet local requirements.

Membrane and Drainage Systems

Exterior waterproofing starts with digging down to the footing. The concrete is cleaned, and a primer is applied to help the next layer stick. A flexible membrane, either fluid-applied or self-adhering, is then spread over the entire wall. This membrane can stretch to cover small cracks that may form later.

A dimpled polyethylene drainage board is placed against the membrane. This board creates a space that helps relieve water pressure. A perforated weeping tile, set in clean gravel at the footing, collects water and moves it by gravity to a sump or an outlet. The gravel helps keep dirt from blocking the system.

Drainage and Moisture Management

Positive-side waterproofing puts the barrier on the side of the wall that faces water pressure. This stops water from reaching the concrete or its reinforcing steel. The drainage board creates a path for water to flow down without depending on the soil, keeping the building safe even when the ground is saturated.

A properly sloped weeping tile is installed to ensure water drains away from the footing. Above the ground level, a capillary break, often made of metal flashing, prevents moisture from rising into the siding and framing. This protects the wall from rot.

Bylaw and Permit Details

In Burnaby, exterior waterproofing work that involves foundation drainage or dampproofing needs a plumbing permit application. This application must be submitted to the Plumbing Inspector before any work begins. The inspector must also approve the dampproofing before backfilling. Therefore, the contractor needs to schedule that inspection.

Burnaby’s Building Department requires a drain tile and dampproofing inspection before backfilling on permitted projects. For new or replaced drainage, the contractor must arrange this inspection to ensure everything meets the rules.

In Surrey, construction noise, including exterior waterproofing work, is allowed only between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No noisy work for profit is allowed on Sundays without an approved noise extension permit. This can affect scheduling on weekends.

Waterproofing Projects

Imagine a local school with old foundation waterproofing that allowed moisture to enter the lower walls. This could harm the comfort of classrooms and the building’s structure. Our team carefully dug up the area and renewed the waterproof membrane to fix this problem. We worked closely with school administrators to ensure that all entrances remained safe and accessible. The result was a completely sealed foundation that stopped the dampness and gave the school community dry spaces without causing any disruption.
