Innovative
Painting and Waterproofing,
Inc.
Serving the United States
Innovative
is one of the largest and most technically-advanced applicators and
installers of
specialty protective coatings systems in the United States, with a
focus on application of polyurea coatings systems.
Polyurea coatings are engineered for extreme conditions, severe
exposure, high traffic, water intrusion and projects that stretch
beyond the capabilities of conventional or even
usual industrial coatings systems.
For more conventional painting,
coating and waterproofing situations
Innovative offers a complete range of services, including interior and
exterior painting, specialty coating application and a full range of
above and below-grade water
intrusion prevention systems.
We are a
minority owned and managed company, fully insured and an
approved applicator for most major suppliers, including
Polycoat Products, BASF,Sonneborn, Innerseal, Sika, Webac, Freedom
Chemical, Versaflex, SPI, Quantum Technical Services,
Dow Hyperlast,and Sherwin
Williams. Our employees are
union
trained and certified. Innovative is licensed in multiple states as a
Painting and Waterproofing Contractor and is licensed as a Class A
General Engineering Contractor in California.
Our management staff has over 60 years of hands on, planning and
logistics
experience in completing large, difficult, complex, unusual (and
routine)
painting
and waterproofing projects. Innovative is one of very few coatings
contractors that performs comprehensive photographic site surveys with
physical surface testing, prepares full project specifications
in-house in accordance with Construction Specifications Institute
guidelines and technical requirements of The Society for Protective
Coatings (SSPC), the International Concrete Repair Institute, National
Association of Corrosion Engineers and maintains the highest
professional standards through
actual product application to project closeout.

problem, water-intrusion issues,
or need ideas/concepts for protective coatings applications or
surface maintenance programs, call Innovative today for prompt
professional assistance.
One
of our most popular methods for alleviating water intrusion
is high-pressure injection of hydrophylic urethane foam grout. Small
holes are drilled into concrete near the crack or other leak, a
high-pressure fitting installed,
and a thin, water-reactive urethane liquid injected at high pressure,
folowing the path of the crack or penetration (conduit, wall joint,
pipe pentration etc.). Upon
contact with water the urethane expands, fillings cracks, joints,
voids,
holes, gaps in pipe pentrations etc.
The expansion creates foam
"bladders" or dams that block water penetration and remain
flexible - they will not re-crack and leak, a problem with older epoxy
injection repairs. This is a tremendous time and money-saving
system for below-grade parking structures,vaults (both walls and
ceilings), sumps, mechanical rooms, elevator pits and basements. This
procedure is done from the
"negative side", eliminating the need for exterior excavation. The
short animated clip below demonstrates
the grout injection process. Presented courtesy of
