Waterproofing: Keep Your Commercial Property's Brick In Top Condition
Brick is a great eco-friendly construction material that protects your commercial property in the Burlington area from fire and weather. Brick is lower maintenance than siding and increases the value of your property. Unfortunately, brick is expensive to replace, and the mortar cannot always be repointed.
Sowers Paint Company can protect your brick assets with premium waterproofing solutions. Bricks are porous and diminish due to time, weather and water. Waterproof your brick now before it starts to show cracks and loss of mortar allowing water intrusion. We are the experts in commercial brick waterproofing. We have the experience and know-how to maintain your investment.
The Steps We Take To Waterproof Your Brick
- Clean your brick surfaces
- Repair and repoint any lost mortar
- Repair cracks in the brick and tee flanges
- Extra pressure or shot blasting to remove stubborn stains and mildew
- Waterproofing applications
Brick Waterproofing FAQs
What Is the Best Way to Waterproof Brick?
First, thoroughly pressure wash the entire brick area you want to seal. Allow the brick to dry completely before sealing it.
Select the type of sealant you would like to use. Sealants come in three categories - paint, surface sealers and penetrating sealers. Paint is the least expensive. However, because it covers the brick completely in an opaque layer of paint it does not allow the natural brick to show through. Paint does not last as long as a surface sealant or penetrating sealant and will require regular maintenance like any exterior house paint.
A surface sealant is more expensive than paint but dries clear, lasts longer and requires less updating. Surface sealants do not soak into the porous brick surface. A penetrating sealant is the most expensive option. These sealants are specifically formulated to soak deep into the porous surface of your brick home. Penetrating sealants can dry clear. Penetrating sealants require less maintenance and can last up to 30 years. If you choose a penetrating sealant or surface sealant, be sure to select a brand that allows the brick to "breathe" or moisture can become trapped and cause damage to your home.

Erik,I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your men for the great job you did repairing our water damaged ceilings . All of you were very professional and were always concerned about our comfort during the mess . I know you guys were unusually hampered by the rainy weather causing large increases in drying time between sprayings .Regardless of all the problems you had you handled them brilliantly . Erik , I was certainly impressed with your eye for perfection .It was interesting to hear your men keep saying to me " if it satisfies Erik's eye , i am sure it will please you .This simply told me that you had done a good job instilling into your men the value of doing the job right . You have an impressive crew ,and please tell them for me that i really do appreciate all their excellent work Thank you again !!
We had Sowers Paint Company sand and paint our kitchen cabinets and we could not be happier with the finish product . Not only did Erik Sowers do a fantastic job ,but he was honest about meeting our expectations and even took the time to complete a door for us as a sample before we contracted him to do the work. He was also very accommodating with working around other contractors as we remodeled our home . Erik Sowers does great work at a fair price and we will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for a great painter !
