BALCONY WATERPROOFING & REPAIR
We are a Toronto-based company specialized in patching, crack repair, balcony slope reversal and decorative finish. High-strength concrete adhesives allow us to do thin patch applications, making it possible to repair even balcony ceiling surfaces and edges.
OUR SERVICES
Balcony Surfaces Restored & Waterproofed
Even those concrete balconies that are significantly damaged can be repaired thanks to our specialized materials and repair methods.
We are a balcony repair company based in Toronto that offers repairs without recasting concrete slabs, thanks to our specialized thin patch applications (recasting is done only when specified by engineers). Waterproofing balconies is one of our specialties.
APPLICATION BENEFITS
Causes of Balcony Leakage
Cracks in the balcony surface and delaminated concrete are common causes of balcony leakage. A flat or inverted balcony slope is another reason a unit can be affected by water damage.
Balcony floor and / or ceiling repair must be done to correct such issues.
Our Solutions
Efficient Waterproofing
Our specialized materials allow us to do extensive concrete balcony crack repair, which ensures lasting waterproofing and makes balcony restoration possible. We fix leaking balconies!
Flood Damage Prevention
We are able to apply patches as thin as 5 mm, which makes it possible to reverse balcony slope, providing proper drainage and preventing water from leaking into the unit.
Safe Durable Surfaces
Specialized balcony coating (a waterproofing finish) is followed by a layer of UV-resistant non-slip paint, which protects balcony flooring against weather elements and makes it safe to walk on, ensuring lasting concrete balcony waterproofing and giving the balcony a renewed look.
Application Benefits
Cost Savings
Since we can do extensive patching, condo balcony flooring and other balcony surfaces can be restored instead of having to be recast, which saves on costs. Slab recasting is done only when specified by engineers.
Permanent Waterproofing
Our materials provide monolithic adhesion made possible thanks to Polyforce’s 1.8 Mpa adhesion. Since it is greater than concrete tensile strength of 1.2 Mpa, the patch becomes monolithic and will not delaminate, ensuring durable concrete balcony repair.
Our specialized industrial-strength materials have been rated to the MTO standards to last 25 years.
REPAIR METHODS
Balcony Slope Reversal
Our specialized materials that allow for thin patch applications make it possible to reverse inverted or flat balcony slope.
Concrete Crack Repair
Crack repair is the most cost-effective way to waterproof a concrete balcony and prevent future extensive repairs.
Our specialized materials make it possible to repair both single-defined and multiple cracks.
Concrete Patching
Under traditional repair methods, large parts of the balcony slab would require complete demolition and recasting.
The use of specialized concrete adhesives and polymer cement permits thin patch applications, making the job much more cost-effective and faster.
Decorative Protective Finish
Once concrete balcony restoration is complete, protective coating is applied to ensure long-lasting balcony waterproofing.
It is followed by a final layer of specialized UV-resistant, non-slip, waterproofing paint with a nice decorative finish.
FAQs
Q - Leaks inside Apartments
Q: Water is leaking inside my apartment from my balcony – how can that be fixed?
A: This occurs when the normal balcony slope (towards the street) is flat or inverted. Because our specialized materials allow for thin patch applications, we can reverse the balcony slope, avoiding leaking caused by this problem.
Q - Balcony Repair or Replacement?
Q: Pieces of my balcony floor have fallen off – will the entire floor have to be redone?
A: Under traditional methods it would have to be – new concrete does not adhere to existing surfaces. However, by using our industrial-strength adhesive, we are able to perform extensive patching, fully restoring balcony surfaces.
Q - Balcony Crack Repair
Q: Can balcony cracks be fixed?
A: With traditional methods no, because old and new concrete cannot be fused together. Our industrial-strength adhesive does make it possible.
