Water is the slow enemy of any building. Universal Roofing applies foundation coatings and waterproofing to keep snowmelt and monsoon runoff from working its way into your foundation and basement.

Snowmelt and monsoon season
In La Plata County the two big water events are spring snowmelt and the late-summer monsoon, when heavy rain hits dry ground fast. Both push water against foundations. Coating and proper drainage are far cheaper than repairing water damage after it gets inside.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my foundation needs waterproofing?
Damp or stained basement walls, a white powdery residue (efflorescence), musty smells, or seasonal seepage are all signs water is getting in. We can take a look and tell you.
When is the best time to do this work?
Dry conditions are ideal for coatings to cure properly, so late spring through early fall usually works best, ahead of the next snow season.
