Remedial and New Construction

Water intrusion in a home or building can be incredibly frustrating—not to mention costly. It can lead to serious damage and thousands in repairs. That’s why understanding the difference between waterproofing and dampproofing is so important. Despite being a critical component of construction, these systems are often misunderstood or improperly applied.

At its core:

  • Waterproofing protects below-grade structures—like basements or elevator pits—where living or occupied spaces exist on the opposite side of the wall. It’s designed to completely block water from passing through.

  • Dampproofing is applied to exterior cavity wall systems to prevent moisture from penetrating and to allow any water or condensation that does enter to exit quickly, keeping the internal wall system dry. This is common between materials like stone, CMU, and sheathing or plywood.

At Winco, we take pride in doing it right the first time. We go the extra mile on every project—residential or commercial—to ensure the proper systems and products are used for long-term performance. From membranes to sealants, our waterproofing and dampproofing expertise helps keep your building dry, protected, and built to last.

New Construction Waterproofing

When it comes to new construction, success depends on many moving parts working together seamlessly. With over a decade of hands-on experience, Winco understands what it takes to properly waterproof and dampproof buildings—regardless of type or complexity. Unfortunately, we’ve seen firsthand how often critical details are missed in plans, installations are done incorrectly, or the wrong products are used altogether. In some cases, dampproofing is omitted entirely.

These oversights can lead to major issues—voided warranties, building failures, and costly water leaks. At Winco, we’ve made a name for ourselves by fixing the mistakes others leave behind. Why? Because we care enough to do it right and know exactly how to do it. Our team provides complete, accurate bids that reflect real-world needs—no shortcuts, no surprises. We also recognize that general contractors work within tight margins, which is why we work hard to ensure our takeoffs and pricing are spot-on.

Our bids are very detailed and show exactly what we priced, where it gets installed, and if possible, even the product name! The Winco difference will make your bids complete, accurate and will give you peace of mind knowing that we have you covered.

Remedial Waterproofing and Dampproofing

For over 30 years, Winco has been solving tough water-related issues across a wide variety of structures. Through experience, we’ve learned which products and techniques deliver long-term results—and which shortcuts to avoid.

 

From simple fixes to complex repairs, our goal is to deliver cost-effective solutions that last. Sometimes, spending just a few extra dollars can extend a system’s life by 5 to 10 years. Often, it’s the little things—like pre-treating a surface or using a bond breaker to prevent three-sided adhesion—that make all the difference. These thoughtful touches cost little but dramatically improve performance and longevity.

 

At Winco, we treat every job as if it were our own. We take the time to evaluate each issue and apply the best product or system—always keeping your budget and goals in mind.
