Waterproofing Contractor · Fort Lauderdale, FL
Waterproofing Contractor in Fort Lauderdale, FL
In South Florida, water doesn't knock — it finds a way in. One compromised membrane, one failed caulk joint, one unaddressed hairline crack, and you're dealing with structural damage, mold growth, and tenant complaints that cost far more than the waterproofing would have.
Planet Construction is Fort Lauderdale's licensed waterproofing contractor for roofs, balconies, foundations, parking garages, and entire condo buildings.

The Real Risk
A Leak Isn't Just a Water Problem — It's a Structural Problem
Fort Lauderdale receives an average of 62 inches of rain per year. Combined with hurricane season, coastal humidity, and the spray of salt air off the Atlantic, every exposed surface on your property is under constant moisture attack. And when that moisture finds a way through — even a minor seam or pinhole — the damage it causes is never minor.
Water behind a balcony membrane doesn't just wet the surface. It saturates the concrete, accelerates rebar corrosion, and begins breaking down the structural integrity of the slab. Water through a roof penetration doesn't stay on the ceiling — it travels along structural members, soaks insulation, and creates the perfect environment for toxic mold. By the time you see the stain, the damage has been happening for months.
For condo associations, this isn't just a maintenance headache. Unaddressed water intrusion is the leading cause of structural deterioration in South Florida multi-family buildings — and increasingly, it's a legal exposure under Florida's updated building safety laws. The right time to waterproof is before the leak. The second-best time is right now.
OUR SERVICES
Our Waterproofing Services in Fort Lauderdale
From single-family homes to large commercial buildings, we stop water at its source using professional-grade systems and licensed installation.
WHY CHOOSE US
Why Fort Lauderdale Property Owners Trust Planet Construction for Waterproofing
We Find the Source, Not Just the Symptom
Many contractors treat the stain. We find what's feeding it. Our inspectors trace water paths through a structure before a single product gets applied. This is the difference between a repair that holds for 20 years and one that fails in the next rainy season.
Commercial-Grade Materials on Every Job
We don't use consumer-grade waterproofing products on professional jobs. Our installations use commercial-specification membranes, elastomeric coatings, and sealants from trusted manufacturers — the same systems used in high-rise commercial construction.
Licensed for Residential and Commercial
Waterproofing a condo balcony requires a different approach than waterproofing a parking garage. We're licensed and experienced in both, with the project management capabilities to handle large-scale building programs for HOAs and property management companies.
How it works
Here's How Our Construction Service Works 4-Step Process
01
Free Waterproofing Inspection
We inspect every surface of concern — roofs, balconies, walls, foundations — and document existing moisture intrusion, failed sealants, and high-risk areas before any water finds its way in.
Written Scope & System Recommendation
We don't recommend one product for every problem. Our proposal specifies the correct waterproofing system — membrane type, application method, and warranty — for your specific substrate and exposure conditions.
02
03
Professional Installation
Our licensed crew prepares surfaces properly (the most critical step most contractors skip) and installs the specified system in strict compliance with manufacturer and Florida Building Code requirements.
Flood Test & Final Sign-Off
Before we consider the job complete, we perform a flood test on applicable surfaces to verify watertight integrity. You don't have to wait for the next rainstorm to know the system works.

- “We had recurring balcony leaks into the units below for two years. Two other contractors patched it. Planet Construction found a failed membrane seam we never knew about, replaced the entire system, and flood-tested every balcony. Not a single leak since.”Property ManagerFort Lauderdale Condo Building
- “Our parking garage had serious water intrusion affecting the structural deck. Planet Construction did a complete waterproofing restoration — expansion joints, traffic coating, the works. The assessment report they provided was exactly what our structural engineer needed”Commercial Property OwnerBroward County
- “They waterproofed our entire building's exterior walls and replaced all the window caulking in one project. Efficient, professional, and the crew actually cleaned up after themselves. Fort Lauderdale weather has tested it and everything holds”HOA Board MemberFort Lauderdale
