WAUKEGAN ROOFING COMPANY

Waterproofing Services in Waukegan, IL

 

Waukegan sees it all—snow in winter, storms in spring, humidity in summer. All that weather puts constant stress on your roofing system. Without proper waterproofing, moisture can work its way in and cause expensive problems fast.

​

At Waukegan Roofing Company, we help homeowners, property managers, and business owners protect their buildings with long-term waterproofing solutions. Whether it’s a flat commercial roof or aging masonry seams, we’ve got the right method to keep water out and performance up.

​

​

Common Waterproofing Applications

• Flat or low-slope rooftops

• Rooftop HVAC curbs and vents

• Skylight and flashing joints

• Wall caps and parapet seams

• Drainage zones and scuppers

• Balcony-to-wall transitions

​

Waterproofing Systems We Offer

 

Flashing Sealants & Wrap Reinforcement

Flashing is often the first failure point. We reseal vents, HVAC bases, and skylights with premium sealants—and wrap with mesh or fabric where needed to prevent movement cracks and water seepage.

​

Cementitious Waterproofing

Used for vertical surfaces like parapet walls or concrete details, this mineral-based system creates a strong, breathable shield. It’s well-suited for Waukegan’s seasonal freeze/thaw cycles.

 

Liquid-Applied Membranes

Sprayed or rolled on, this system cures into a seamless barrier that resists water, UV, and expansion damage. Ideal for flat roofs or irregular roof features that need flexible coverage.

​

Elastomeric Coatings

Designed to stretch and return without splitting. These are perfect for older roofs or surfaces exposed to full sun, as they also reflect heat and help regulate indoor temperatures.

 

Reinforced Fabric Coating Systems

These multi-layer coatings use embedded fabric to form a thicker, stronger barrier—especially useful for roofs with mechanical traffic, walkways, or added equipment.

Why Waterproofing Is Worth It

Ignoring a minor leak today could lead to full insulation rot tomorrow. Water that enters through the roof or wall joints doesn’t just stay put—it travels, damages materials, and accelerates roof aging. Proper waterproofing adds years of service life, reduces energy loss, and prevents mold or mildew from developing.

​

​

When to Schedule Waterproofing

• Recurring roof leaks or musty attic smells

• Signs of water pooling that don’t drain off

• Brown spots or moisture rings on ceilings

• Flaking paint or wall bubbling inside

• Damaged or separating flashing

• Storm prep for hurricane or heavy rainfall seasons
