Blueskin Basement Waterproofing Thunder Bay

In the variable climate of Thunder Bay, protecting your property from water damage is crucial. Blueskin waterproofing offers a cutting-edge solution that ensures superior protection against moisture. As leading experts in Blueskin technology, Northwest Drainage Solutions is dedicated to safeguarding your residential or commercial properties with advanced waterproofing systems.

What is Blueskin Waterproofing?

Blueskin waterproofing is a versatile, rubberized asphalt membrane bonded to a polyethylene film, designed to provide a self-sealing, water-resistant barrier. Unlike traditional tar-based waterproofing, Blueskin is more durable, flexible, and capable of bridging cracks. It’s particularly effective in preventing water ingress in critical areas such as basements, foundations, and roofs.

Why Blueskin Waterproofing is Ideal for Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay's harsh winters and wet springs pose unique challenges to building exteriors, making robust waterproofing essential. Blueskin’s adaptability to temperature changes and its excellent sealant properties make it ideal for local conditions, offering long-lasting protection against the elements. Its ability to adhere to a variety of surfaces and its resistance to tearing and punctures make it a reliable choice for any building.

Blueskin Waterproofing Applications

Residential Applications:

For homes in Thunder Bay, Blueskin can be applied to basements to prevent moisture seepage that leads to mold and water damage. It is also used on roofs and around window frames to enhance overall weather resistance.

Commercial Applications:

In commercial properties, Blueskin is invaluable for enclosing large areas like commercial roofs or underground parking structures, ensuring they remain dry and intact despite environmental stressors.

Specialized Projects:

Blueskin is also the preferred choice for preserving the integrity of historic buildings or structures with unusual architectural features, providing effective waterproofing without compromising the original aesthetics.

Blueskin Installation Process, Considerations, And Tips

The installation of Blueskin waterproofing involves several key steps:

  1. Surface Preparation: The target surface must be clean, dry, and smooth.
  2. Application: Blueskin membranes are rolled out and applied to surfaces using a pressure-sensitive adhesive, ensuring every inch is securely bonded.
  3. Sealing: All seams and edges are thoroughly sealed to create a continuous, watertight barrier.
  4. Inspection: After installation, a comprehensive check is performed to ensure complete coverage and optimal performance.

Cost Considerations

Investing in Blueskin waterproofing involves upfront costs for materials and installation but offers significant long-term savings by reducing maintenance needs and preventing costly water damage repairs. Costs vary depending on the project size and specific requirements; however, Northwest Drainage Solutions provides transparent pricing and detailed quotes to help you budget your project effectively.

Maintenance Tips for Blueskin Waterproofing

Maintaining your Blueskin waterproofing system is straightforward:

  • Regularly inspect the membrane for signs of damage or peeling.
  • Keep the surfaces clean, especially after extreme weather events.
  • Ensure that drainage systems remain unblocked to prevent water pooling.

Facebook Review From Jaay Barry

"I can’t say enough positive things about this company. Tyler and his guys were so compassionate in a time of absolute stress for us.

They were there the day we called, they immediately scheduled the work, the quote was absolutely fair and they we’re very transparent as more potential billing items came up. It was a very very messy job with lots of surprises the lower we went and they didn’t complain once, and really held it together for us (me specifically)

They explained the issues, how they would be rectified and observations made based on the previous install and why we had ended up here.

Tyler and his staff were super respectful, and offered to do a couple other things outside for us while they were there that we would have put on the back burner but we’re so grateful for this team of guys.

We’re very grateful for Northwest drainage and will absolutely be recommending them to everyone we know."
