In recent years there have been more and more stories about building collapses due to erosion and deterioration of a building’s structural integrity. There are many ways to prevent and/or repair damage caused by erosion to prevent these catastrophes from happening. Martin Specialty Coatings provides a variety of services bundled into what we call the Building Envelope System. These systems include roofing, exterior waterproofing, below grade waterproofing, and interior structural repairs. Let’s dive into how Martin Specialty Coatings can help protect your assets:

Roofing 

• Roof Leaks are a leading cause of water intrusion into the upper structure of a building which creates corrosion in the structural steel. It can also cause erosion in the upper concrete, roofing system, and structural framing. Water intrusion from roof leaks can and will greatly diminish the structural integrity of the upper building system. Martin’s use of fluid applied roofing applications are an excellent cost affective durable solution to ensure longevity not only in your roof, but all the components your roof protects. Seamless roofing technology has made failures at the adjoining seams of a standard roof a thing of the past.

Exterior Waterproofing

• Exterior Sealants are key components in keeping areas such as windows, vertical building joints, horizontal building joints, and any other inlet that can allow water intrusion.
• Exterior Coatings waterproofing systems are decorative waterproof systems that are both opaque and transparent that stop water intrusion on vertical surfaces of a structure by sealing all pinholes, cracking, and eroded earthen substrates.

Below Grade Waterproofing

• Below grade waterproofing using sealants, elastomeric systems, and sheathing applications are crucial in keeping ground water, rising water due to rains (and other natural disasters) from the interior lower structural building components. A compromised below grade waterproofing system can allow water to erode structural cement and steel anchoring systems in columns, walls, floors, and ceilings. Without proper protection over time constant moisture can cause catastrophic structural building failures.

Interior Structural Repairs

• Interior concrete and rebar that are cracking or corroded is a sign of exterior water intrusion. Martin can provide repairs through coatings and cementitious applications that can restore and improve the life span of your structural building systems.

Building Envelope Systems are key components in extending your buildings interior and exterior structural and decorative life span. Let Martin Specialty Coatings show you what they can offer in terms of Building Envelope Solutions and how they can protect your most valuable assets.
