Traffic coatings are an important aspect of facilities and parking garages. When properly installed and maintained, they help keep water out and provide aggregate for traction. They also bring a fresh aesthetic to the appearance of the substrate. We install various levels of traffic coating systems and can help you determine the right fit for your property.
Waterproofing commercial planters help protect the concrete from watering and rain. Preventing water intrusion helps prevent rot, rust, and mildew. Whether fluid-applied or sheet-applied, we can install the system that is right for you.

Grouting is the process of filling gaps, cracks, voids, or joints between two materials. Grout is a mixture of cement, sand, water, and sometimes other additives. Grouting is used for repairing concrete, sealing and waterproofing tiles, embedding rebar, connecting precast concrete, and controlling groundwater.
Services Include:
Chemical Grouting
Epoxy Injection
Crack Sealing
Urethane Injection
Void Grouting
Expansion joint systems allow movement in structures, mitigating cracks and spalls in the concrete. When expansion joints reach their lifetime maximum, they must be replaced to continue to be effective. We can remove your failing expansion joints, properly prepare the substrate, and install new expansion joints for your building or parking garage.

Coatings come in many forms and fulfill many purposes, but ultimately, they help prevent water infiltration. They can be spray-applied or rolled on and help protect substrates such as concrete, masonry, and stucco. If desired, coatings can also change a structure’s appearance. Coatings are a simple, cost-effective tool, but they don’t last forever. When they reach their lifespan, our experts are trained in coating replacement for your building or parking garage.

Waterproofing sealants prevent water from passing through joints or material surfaces and reduce heat and air conditioning loss from interior space. They fill the gap between the elements and the structure, such as a joint where two concrete slabs meet or a window and its metal frame. Different types of sealants vary in elasticity for temperature changes or structural movement and range from water-resistant to fully waterproof.
Our technicians are trained to effectively access a variety of difficult areas, remove old sealants, properly prepare the substrate, and install new products according to the manufacturer’s specifications and industry guidelines.

Below-grade waterproofing applies material below ground level to prevent water intrusion into the structure. For existing buildings and parking garages, this often requires excavating the earth around the application area.
Our team is experienced in the proper methods to safely execute the installation of several types of below-grade waterproofing:
Fluid-Applied Systems
HDPE/Bentonite
Self-Adhering Systems
Sheet Membrane Systems
Fabric Reinforced Systems
Cementitious
Drainage
When the structural components that support commercial buildings and parking garages become compromised, professional structural steel repairs may be needed to reinforce integrity. When done correctly, these repairs extend the life of your structure.
Post-tension cables are used to improve the strength and seismic resistance of concrete slabs. They can be found in multi-story buildings and parking structures. Valcourt has years of experience in repairing post-tension cables to restore the integrity of the concrete.

If water has infiltrated your masonry façade, brick removal and replacement may be part of the solution to rectify the issue. Masonry repair and replacement also helps mitigate safety hazards related to loose or damaged bricks. Our experts perform masonry repairs, large or small, even in hard to access areas.
Masonry mortar joints eventually show signs of wear and tear. Properly removing and replacing this mortar helps structurally reinforce the building as well as mitigate water infiltration.
