Expert Concrete Waterproofing Services in Lewisville, TX
For 25+ years, Concrete Contractors of Lewisville has been the premier choice for concrete waterproofing services throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Unlike general contractors, we specialize in advanced waterproofing systems, understanding the complex principles of moisture migration, concrete chemistry, and application techniques that ensure comprehensive protection. Our waterproofing solutions combine cutting-edge technology with proven methodologies, creating impermeable barriers that protect concrete structures for decades.
Concrete waterproofing is essential for structural longevity. It prevents water intrusion that causes cracking, spalling, corrosion, and deterioration. Our specialized concrete waterproofing services address these challenges while delivering systems that withstand Texas weather, soil conditions, and hydrostatic pressure. From residential foundations to commercial structures, we deliver waterproofing that protects investments and ensures structural reliability.
Why Concrete Waterproofing Requires Specialized Expertise
Your waterproofing system is more than coatings. It's a comprehensive moisture protection infrastructure. Poor waterproofing can lead to:
- Water intrusion causing structural damage and foundation failure
- Corrosion of embedded metals and reinforcement materials
- Mold and mildew growth affecting indoor air quality
- Efflorescence and surface deterioration reducing concrete aesthetics
- Costly repairs and remediation from moisture-related damage
- Decreased property value from water-damaged structures

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our concrete waterproofing services in Lewisville, TX
What's the difference between waterproofing and damp-proofing?
Waterproofing provides a complete barrier against water intrusion under hydrostatic pressure, while damp-proofing offers basic moisture resistance but doesn't handle standing water or significant pressure. For Texas clay soils and groundwater conditions, full waterproofing is typically recommended.
How long do waterproofing systems last?
Quality waterproofing systems typically last 10-25 years depending on the system type, application quality, and environmental conditions. Crystalline waterproofing becomes permanent as it chemically reacts with concrete, while membrane systems may require periodic inspection and maintenance.
Can existing concrete be waterproofed?
Yes, we specialize in waterproofing existing concrete structures. This includes surface-applied systems, penetrating sealers, and injection methods for cracks. However, negative-side waterproofing (exterior application) is generally more effective for new construction.
Do waterproofing systems need maintenance?
Most waterproofing systems are low-maintenance, but periodic inspection is recommended. Surface systems may need cleaning and resealing every 5-10 years, while crystalline systems are virtually maintenance-free once cured. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every installation.
What's crystalline waterproofing and how does it work?
Crystalline waterproofing uses chemicals that react with water and concrete to form insoluble crystals that fill capillaries and seal the concrete from within. This creates a permanent waterproof barrier that actually improves over time as it continues reacting with moisture and carbon dioxide.
Can waterproofing be applied in cold weather?
Most waterproofing systems require temperatures above 40-50°F for proper application and curing. Cold weather can affect adhesion, curing time, and system performance. We schedule applications during appropriate weather conditions and can provide temporary protection for cold weather installations.
