Expert Protection from Sun, Rain & Sea Air. For over 38 years, Waterproofed.com has protected Los Angeles homes—decks, balconies, and planters—from the city’s unique climate.
The Southern California climate is a silent destroyer. Intense UV breaks down standard coatings, winter rains exploit micro‑cracks, and salty ocean air accelerates corrosion. This relentless cycle is why generic waterproofing fails in LA. Climate‑specific waterproofing is critical to prevent structural wood rot, mold inside walls, and catastrophic leaks that can damage interiors and electrical systems.
As your local, full‑service contractor, we engineer solutions for Los Angeles architecture and weather. From decks and balconies to planters, rooftops, and walkways—we protect your entire property with systems built to last.
As your full-service, local waterproofing contractor, we address every vulnerability on your property. Our solutions are engineered for the specific challenges of Los Angeles architecture and weather.
We specialize in installing seamless, elastomeric membranes on both wood and concrete decks. Unlike simple sealants, our premium systems from brands like Dex-O-Tex and Gaco are specifically formulated to reflect UV rays, resist constant foot traffic, and flex with the thermal expansion of an LA summer. The result is a durable, non-slip surface that blocks 100% of water intrusion and dramatically extends your deck's lifespan.
Balcony leaks are a primary concern for multi-unit buildings and second-story additions. A leaking balcony can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the interior space below. Our repair process is meticulous: we first identify and correct the underlying slope issue, repair any rotted substructure, install custom-formed flashing, and then apply a high-performance membrane system. We are experts in working with HOAs to meet strict standards and minimize disruption to residents.
Built-in planters are a quintessential LA feature and a leading cause of leaks. Soil moisture and expanding plant roots constantly attack the waterproofing layer. Our solution involves excavating the planter, applying a heavy-duty, root-penetration resistant membrane, and installing a new drainage system with a weep screed to channel water away from the structure. This protects your deck's integrity while keeping your landscaping vibrant and healthy.
Your entire property deserves protection. We are also specialists in rooftop coating to improve energy efficiency, garage floor sealing, walkway coating, and foundation waterproofing. Our deep local expertise means we understand the soil types in the Valley versus the beach cities and can recommend the ideal solution for your home's location.


We believe a flawless result is born from a rigorous process. Our methodology, refined over nearly four decades, ensures your project is completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standard of excellence.
Our founder, Darren Elliott, often says, "The solution is in the diagnosis." Our expert will perform a thorough inspection, using moisture meters and core knowledge of LA construction to identify every potential failure point. You will receive a detailed, line-item quote with absolutely no hidden fees, allowing you to make a confident, informed decision.
This is the most critical phase. We never coat over problems. Our crew power washes, then mechanically grinds the surface to achieve a perfect profile for adhesion. Every crack is routed and filled, and any rotted wood or compromised concrete is surgically removed and replaced. We ensure the substrate is sound, clean, and dry before a single drop of coating is applied.
Our factory-trained technicians apply the membrane system with expert precision. We use professional-grade rollers and spray equipment to achieve a consistent, specified mil thickness that guarantees performance. These elastomeric products breathe, stretch, and contract, remaining intact through years of LA's temperature swings.
We conduct a full flood test on contained areas and a meticulous visual inspection with you, the homeowner, to ensure complete satisfaction. Only then do we consider the job complete. Your project is registered for its full lifetime warranty, covering both materials and labor, giving you unparalleled peace of mind.
We also offer rooftop coatings for energy efficiency, garage floor sealing, walkway coatings, and foundation waterproofing. Our deep local expertise—from Valley soils to beachside environments—means we recommend the ideal solution for your location.
