Grouting & Injections
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
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.

Façade Coatings & Water Repellents
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.

Sealants & Caulking
Caulking between blocks and bricks, around windows and doors, and in other areas prevents air and water from getting into your building and causing damage. Caulking also lowers the cost of heating and cooling a building by preventing outside air from getting in.
Over time, even the best caulking product will wear down and need to be replaced. Resealing these areas can be labor intensive but necessary to protect the integrity of the property. In general, caulk needs to be replaced every ten years, but it should be inspected annually to identify cracks in the caulking or shrinkage. Regular maintenance staff can perform the annual inspection, or you can contact ECBS to have us check your building for issues, including worn caulking.
Below-Grade Waterproofing
Below-grade waterproofing is material applied 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
