2017 Hurricane Irma/Season Lesson: Do not defer needed waterproofing work if at all possible! In the aftermath of the devastating 2017 hurricane season, some buildings called for leak repairs with dozens and even 100+ leaks! More than 10 leaks from any rain event means your building’s joint systems are failing. Failure to budget for and schedule Waterproofing Services results in greater water damage and tenant disruption.
When a hurricane is predicted to hit an area, routine work is often rescheduled. A1 team members may be available to provide assistance both before and after hurricanes.

- Removing antennas or loose objects from the roof.
- Bringing in display racks and other objects usually left on the roof.
