WATERPROOFING
SKOKIE ROOFING COMPANY

Waterproofing Services in Skokie, IL

 

Skokie gets hit with everything—snow, ice, rain, and long sunny days. If your roof or walls aren’t properly sealed, water’s going to find a way in. And when it does, it won’t just stay on the surface.

​

At Skokie Roofing Company, we provide straightforward waterproofing that works. No upsells. No fancy sales talk. Just smart solutions that keep water where it belongs—outside your building.

​

​

Why Waterproofing Isn’t Optional

Ignoring small leaks or soft spots? That’s how damage builds up. Water gets under membranes, inside walls, or around vents, and suddenly you’ve got mold, wet insulation, and ruined drywall.

​

Waterproofing stops that before it starts. It saves you from paying for big repairs later. And in buildings with flat roofs or older masonry, it can make all the difference between patching and replacing.

​

​

Where We Install Waterproofing

• Flat and low-slope roofs

• Flashing edges around pipes, vents, and skylights

• Rooftop units and HVAC curbs

• Wall joints and brick capstones

• Deck transitions and rooftop walkways

• Roof drains and scupper areas

​

​

Waterproofing Systems We Use

 

Liquid-Applied Membranes

This gets rolled or sprayed on and cures into a rubber-like barrier. It covers every corner, joint, and pinhole without seams. Works great on flat roofs or weird-shaped surfaces.

​

Elastomeric Coatings

These coatings expand and contract when the weather shifts. That means fewer cracks and better protection over time. Especially good for older roofs that move with heat and cold.

​

Flashing Sealants & Wraps

We hit all the risk spots—vents, seams, flashing—with top-grade sealants. When needed, we reinforce them with wraps to keep joints sealed tight even in harsh storms.

​

Cementitious Waterproofing

Used on masonry and vertical surfaces. This cement-based coating creates a tough, waterproof shield while still letting the wall breathe. Great for parapet walls and older brick joints.

​

Reinforced Coatings

A full system that uses a base coat, embedded fabric, and a protective topcoat. Meant for rooftops that get foot traffic or rooftop gear. Adds strength and stops leaks long-term.

​

​

Warning Signs to Watch For

• Pooling water that doesn’t drain

• Ceiling spots or sagging drywall

• Mold smell in attic or upper floors

• Rust or soft metal near rooftop units

• Flashing pulling away or cracked caulking

• Damp insulation or humidity buildup
