Waterproofing: Keep Your Commercial Property's Brick In Top Condition
Brick is a great eco-friendly construction material that protects your commercial property in the Metairie area from fire and weather. Brick is lower maintenance than siding and increases the value of your property. Unfortunately, brick is expensive to replace, and the mortar cannot always be repointed.

Waterproof your brick now before it starts to show cracks and loss of mortar allowing water intrusion. We are the experts in commercial brick waterproofing. We have the experience and know-how to maintain your investment.

Brick Waterproofing FAQs
What Is the Best Way to Waterproof Brick?
First, thoroughly pressure wash the entire brick area you want to seal. Allow the brick to dry completely before sealing it.
Select the type of sealant you would like to use. Sealants come in three categories - paint, surface sealers and penetrating sealers. Paint is the least expensive. However, because it covers the brick completely in an opaque layer of paint it does not allow the natural brick to show through. Paint does not last as long as a surface sealant or penetrating sealant and will require regular maintenance like any exterior house paint.
A surface sealant is more expensive than paint but dries clear, lasts longer and requires less updating. Surface sealants do not soak into the porous brick surface. A penetrating sealant is the most expensive option. These sealants are specifically formulated to soak deep into the porous surface of your brick home. Penetrating sealants can dry clear. Penetrating sealants require less maintenance and can last up to 30 years. If you choose a penetrating sealant or surface sealant, be sure to select a brand that allows the brick to "breathe" or moisture can become trapped and cause damage to your home.
