Exterior Wall Waterproofing
We seal and protect exterior masonry walls to help prevent rainwater from penetrating brick, stucco, concrete, and other porous surfaces.
Â
Brick Repointing and Mortar Repair
Deteriorated mortar joints can allow water to enter the building. We remove failing mortar and install new mortar to strengthen and protect the masonry.
Foundation Waterproofing
We waterproof and seal vulnerable foundation areas to help reduce seepage, moisture buildup, and damage to below-grade spaces.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions address water intrusion, damp walls, cracks, and moisture conditions that can affect the lowest level of your property.
Roof and Parapet Waterproofing
We repair and waterproof roofing surfaces, parapet walls, flashing areas, and other vulnerable locations where water commonly enters.
Stucco and Façade Waterproofing
We repair cracks and damaged exterior finishes before applying appropriate waterproofing protection to help keep the building envelope secure.
Basement and Cellar Waterproofing
Basements and cellars can develop water problems because they are located below or partially below ground level. Moisture may enter through foundation cracks, masonry walls, floors, pipe penetrations, windows or poorly drained exterior areas.
Signs of a basement moisture problem can include:
- Damp walls or floors
- Musty odors
- Peeling paint
- White powdery deposits on masonry
- Water stains
- Cracked foundation walls
- Mold or mildew
- Water entering after heavy rain
- Damaged drywall or plaster
- High indoor humidity
The appropriate solution depends on the source and severity of the problem. After examining the affected area, we can discuss the necessary crack repairs, masonry work, sealing, coatings or drainage-related improvements.
Â
Rear and Side Wall Waterproofing
Rear and side walls often receive less maintenance than the front facade, even though they may be heavily exposed to wind-driven rain. Cracked coatings, open masonry joints and gaps around windows, doors, pipes or air-conditioning penetrations can contribute to interior leaks.
We repair damaged wall surfaces and address visible openings before applying an appropriate exterior coating or waterproofing system. Depending on the existing material, the work may involve stucco repair, brick repointing, crack sealing, masonry repair or protective coating application.
Roof and Parapet Waterproofing
Not every apparent wall leak originates from the wall itself. Water may enter through a damaged roof surface, coping stone, flashing, roof drain, gutter or parapet wall and then travel inside the building.
Our team examines accessible roof-edge and parapet conditions connected to the affected area. Repairs may include:
- Parapet crack repair
- Coping-joint sealing
- Loose masonry repair
- Roof-edge repairs
- Flashing repairs
- Waterproof coating application
- Roof drain and gutter-related corrections
Accurately identifying the source helps prevent unnecessary repairs to the wrong area.
Â
Signs Your Crown Heights Property May Need Waterproofing
Water damage is often easier and less expensive to address when the source is identified early. Contact a waterproofing contractor if you notice any of these conditions:
List
- Water stains on ceilings or interior walls
- Dampness or musty odors in the basement
- Peeling paint, bubbling plaster, or damaged drywall
- Cracks in brick, stucco, concrete, or foundation walls
- Missing or deteriorated mortar between bricks
- White powdery deposits on masonry, known as efflorescence
- Water entering around windows or doors
- Leaking roof edges, flashing, or parapet walls
- Mold or mildew caused by ongoing moisture
- Recurring leaks after heavy rain or melting snow
Â
A visible stain does not always reveal the actual entry point. Water can travel through cracks, mortar joints, roof edges, or concealed spaces before appearing inside. City Pro Contracting can inspect the affected area and recommend the appropriate next step.
Our Crown Heights Waterproofing Process
1. Property Inspection
We examine the affected interior and accessible exterior areas for cracks, stains, deteriorated joints, damaged coatings and other visible signs of water penetration.
2. Identifying Likely Entry Points
We evaluate the relationship between the interior damage and exterior conditions. Possible sources may include masonry joints, stucco cracks, windows, parapets, roofing, flashing or penetrations through the wall.
3. Repair Recommendations
We explain the visible conditions and recommend an appropriate scope of work. The proposal identifies the surfaces and repairs included in the project.
4. Surface Preparation
Loose coatings, deteriorated mortar and damaged materials are removed or repaired as required. Surfaces are cleaned and prepared for the selected repair materials or coating.
5. Waterproofing and Masonry Repairs
We complete the approved repairs, which may include repointing, crack repair, stucco work, joint sealing, masonry restoration or protective coating application.
6. Final Review and Cleanup
After completing the work, we inspect the repaired areas, clean the work location and review the completed project with the property owner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose City Pro Contracting for Waterproofing in Crown Heights?
Â
What causes water to enter a brick wall?
Water may enter through deteriorated mortar joints, cracked bricks, open window joints, damaged parapets, failed flashing or gaps where utilities pass through the wall. The visible interior stain may be located away from the actual entry point.
Can waterproof paint stop an exterior wall leak?
A coating may help protect a properly prepared masonry surface, but it should not simply be applied over loose mortar, cracks or damaged stucco. Necessary repairs and surface preparation should be completed first.
Why does my basement leak during heavy rain?
Possible causes include foundation cracks, porous masonry, exterior drainage problems, window openings, pipe penetrations or water accumulating near the building. An inspection is needed to determine the likely source.
Does brick repointing help prevent leaks?
Brick repointing replaces deteriorated mortar in masonry joints. Properly completed repointing can close openings and help reduce water penetration while extending the service life of the brick wall.
Â
Do you provide emergency leak repairs?
Contact City Pro Contracting to explain the condition and current water entry. We will discuss availability and the appropriate next step. Do not promise 24-hour emergency service unless you actually provide it.
