Parking deck waterproofing and slab-leak solutions

AEI evaluates cracks, construction joints, drainage, substrate conditions and existing membranes before recommending an approach for parking decks, ramps and traffic-bearing surfaces.

Diagnose the water path before selecting a repair system

Visible moisture may originate at cracks, joints, drainage details, penetrations or an existing membrane. A site-specific assessment helps distinguish surface maintenance from localized repair or work that requires a different specialist scope.

01

Source of water intrusion

Cracks, joints, drainage and membrane transitions are reviewed to understand the likely moisture path before a repair is proposed.

02

Substrate and traffic

Concrete condition, surface preparation, vehicle traffic and operational restrictions influence compatibility and work sequencing.

03

Local project delivery

U.S. projects require a defined scope, applicable local requirements and a qualified contractor or technical partner before execution.

Applications

Assessment areas in parking structures

SGA Plus is evaluated for compatible cracks, joints and waterproofing details. It is not presented as a substitute for structural repair or every membrane system.

  • Parking decks and access ramps
  • Compatible slab cracks and construction joints
  • Existing waterproofing membrane details
  • Traffic-bearing operational surfaces

Methodology

Assessment, scope and phased execution

No performance duration or universal coverage is promised. The recommendation depends on the actual structure, substrate, moisture source, traffic and local requirements.

  1. 01Document the observed moisture, cracks, joints, drainage and existing membrane
  2. 02Review substrate condition, access, traffic and operating constraints
  3. 03Define a compatible test area or project scope with measurable acceptance criteria
  4. 04Coordinate phased execution, observation and any required maintenance

Frequently asked questions

Parking-deck waterproofing questions

Can SGA Plus repair every parking-garage leak?

No. The moisture source and substrate must be assessed first. Structural movement, failed drainage or incompatible membrane systems may require a different scope or specialist.

Can the parking structure remain in operation?

Depending on access, safety and curing requirements, work may be divided into controlled phases. The final sequence is defined for each facility.

Does AEI guarantee a fixed service life?

No universal duration is stated. Performance depends on diagnosis, preparation, compatibility, application, traffic, climate and maintenance.

Is AEI seeking U.S. project partners?

Yes. AEI can discuss technical assessments with parking operators, facility managers, contractors and qualified local partners.
