Waterproofing is a common preventative maintenance service that can minimize your masonry’s exposure to water damage.  Just as tuckpointing will safeguard your mortar, waterproofing will shield your masonry from wind driven and saturating rains.

Likely candidates for waterproofing include single wythe brick/stone/block veneer walls and sandblasted/waterblasted brick as they are all particularly porous.  ARROW also recommends sealing all types of brick after any sort of rebuilding process to sustain the new masonry work.

ARROW exclusively utilizes siloxane and acrylic waterproofing agents that infiltrate deep into the brick substrate and bond chemically to provide a superior barrier against the elements.  Siloxane agents are sprayed onto the brick surface and do not change the color or appearance of the brick at all. There will be no shiny film or cloudy residue left on the brick.  Siloxane sealants generally last approximately 3-5 years until they are broken down by UV rays.  On the other hand, the acrylic decorative waterproof coatings come in hundreds of colors and are painted onto the brick by brush.  By using the latter, you can change the color of your brick/stone or block and seal it at the same time.  The warranty on this type of application is 10 years.
