Exterior Waterproofing & Drainage Systems for Commercial Structures
Commercial buildings with below-grade construction are exposed to groundwater, surface runoff, and hydrostatic pressure along foundation walls. When water is allowed to accumulate around the structure, it can contribute to interior moisture problems, material deterioration, and long-term structural performance concerns.
Earth Contact Products provides exterior waterproofing and drainage systems designed to manage water at the source, before it reaches the building interior. These systems are commonly installed during construction or renovation projects where long-term moisture control and site drainage performance are required.
By controlling water outside the structure and relieving pressure against foundation walls, exterior systems help protect building materials, reduce maintenance issues, and support long-term building durability.

Training and technical support with reliable availability
Foundation Waterproofing Membranes: Applied to exterior foundation walls to create a continuous barrier that protects the structure from moisture intrusion and soil contact.
Subsurface Drainage: Footing-level drainage collects groundwater and redirects it away from the structure to relieve hydrostatic pressure.
Channel Drain Systems: Collect concentrated surface water near entry points, flatwork, and pedestrian areas to prevent migration toward the building.
Drywell Systems: Provide controlled subsurface dispersion when direct discharge is not available.
Surface Drainage: Direct runoff away from the building to reduce water accumulation around below-grade walls.
