Blind-side waterproofing protects areas of the building where exterior access is limited. It effectively prevents water infiltration, reducing the risk of damage and deterioration to crucial building components. By preventing moisture from penetrating the building envelope, blind-side waterproofing also helps to reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, leading to better indoor air quality and a healthier living or working environment.

A traffic coating was applied on all driving surfaces of the adjacent parking deck that is included in the development. The traffic coating is a clear waterproofing sealer that penetrates the concrete surface. The coat protects from water, salt and other environmental factors. A pedestrian coating was also used on all exterior balconies on the building to avoid premature degradation of exterior walking surfaces.

The Wells team used an interior access strategy to apply air barrier on the slab edge of each floor. One of the primary benefits of an air barrier is its ability to reduce the infiltration of outside air and the escape of conditioned indoor air. This results in a more airtight building envelope which leads to lower energy consumption for heating and cooling. Improved energy efficiency can result in reduced utility costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Reduction of air and moisture infiltration also means less wear and tear on building materials, extending the lifespan of the structural components by preventing corrosion, rot and other forms of degradation.

With Wells, comprehensive sealants services were provided by a single source, reducing risk for the general contractor and simplifying construction, while ensuring the structure will last for generations, with less future maintenance and less costly repairs.
