UTILITY ROOM WATERPROOFING & REPAIR
Joint Seal is a Toronto-based company specialised in thin patch applications and polyurea-based coating which protects floors against acidic substances and mechanical intrusions.
Industrial-strength concrete adhesives allow us to perform concrete restoration instead of recasting the slabs.
OUR SERVICES
Utility Room Waterproofing
We offer a full range of repair and waterproofing solutions for utility rooms, including concrete crack repair and patching of all surfaces – ceiling, walls, and floors.
Our durable polyurea-based waterproofing membranes, used as a top coat, protect the floor while providing a nice-looking,
easy-to-clean finish.
APPLICATION BENEFITS
Why Utility Room Floors Fail
Concrete floors in utility and mechanical rooms can degrade rapidly because of acidic substances, while garbage room floors are subject to heavy traffic and can be damaged when bins are repeatedly moved across their surface.
Our Solutions
Crack Repair
Thanks to monolithic adhesion provided by our products,
we are able to do extensive crack repair, fully restoring concrete surfaces.
Patching
The use of specialised, industrial-strength materials permits patches as thin as 5 mm, which minimises demolition and allows for floor levelling.
Polyurea Waterproofing Membrane
This specialised waterproofing membrane covers large areas quickly, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Application Benefits
Cost Savings

Shorter Closures
Thanks to efficient repair methods - including instant surface bonding - there is no need to shut machinery down and remove it for excessive periods of time.
Ease of Maintenance
Our top coating produces an easy-to-clean, smooth surface that does not stain or get scratched easily.
REPAIR METHODS
Surface Preparation
The floor is shaved to remove paint and any other contaminants or oils – having clean and exposed concrete is a must in order to ensure proper installation.
Concrete Patching
All loose unsound concrete is removed, and concrete surfaces are cleaned in preparation for patching and restoration.
The area is then coated with an adhesive, and a patch is installed.
Crack Repair
Cracks are prepped and treated with specialized, industrial-strength adhesive. They are then filled with polymer cement and a waterproofing primer.
Surface Finish
Primer
Primer is applied when repairs are completed to ensure proper membrane installation.
Polyurea Membrane
This specialised waterproofing membrane covers large areas quickly, ensuring long-lasting protection.
