Waterproofing

Waterproofing is your first line of defense against water intrusion. Waterproofing is fundamental to sealing and creating a building envelope, which is a controlled environment.

Waterproofing methods and materials have improved dramatically over the last 50 years. Waterproofing failures are common, either due to improper installation or the use of inferior materials. Ev-Air-Tight, Shoemaker has extensive experience installing all types of waterproofing, including cold liquid applied, hot liquid applied, and sheet applied.

In short, I highly recommend Ev-Air-Tight for your project."

– Scott D. Garey, Donohoe Real Estate Services/CORFAC International, Washington, DC
We engaged with Ev-Air-Tight, Shoemaker to clean, and water-proof the outside of our building. We found them highly professional, responsive, and customer-oriented. They were good about communicating with us in advance of the project about when it would start, and met their committed timelines and deliverables. a few weeks after they finished the work, there was a fire near one of the walls they had sealed and painted. We reached out, and they immediately offered to come out and repaint the wall, at no additional cost. Overall a great experience!
