New York City experiences significant temperature swings, heavy rainfall, and occasional snowstorms. These weather extremes can wreak havoc on roofs, façades, basements, and foundations, allowing water to infiltrate vulnerable areas. Proper waterproofing creates a protective shield against moisture, reducing the risk of leaks and the long-term damage they can cause.
Many NYC buildings date back decades—or even centuries—leaving them susceptible to structural weaknesses. Older masonry, deteriorating mortar joints, and outdated roofing materials often develop cracks or gaps over time. Without proactive leak prevention measures, these small issues can escalate into major water-related problems.
The city’s rigorous regulations, including Local Law 11 and Local Law 69, mandate regular inspections of building exteriors. If your property has a compromised façade or roof, you risk fines, violations, or forced repairs. Investing in professional waterproofing not only safeguards your property but also helps maintain compliance with local codes.
Water infiltration can lead to mold growth, compromised indoor air quality, and costly structural repairs. Mold remediation alone can be expensive, and unchecked leaks may necessitate extensive renovations. By proactively addressing water intrusion, you protect both your financial investment and the health of your building’s occupants.
SkyRise General Construction offers a wide range of waterproofing solutions tailored to the unique needs of New York City properties. Our services include:
A sound roof is essential for keeping water out. We specialize in:

Outdoor living spaces in NYC are susceptible to leaks and deterioration. Our team applies durable membranes and sealants to balconies, terraces, and rooftop decks, protecting against water damage and ensuring your outdoor areas remain safe and functional.
Persistent leaks can be challenging to locate. Our leak detection services use modern diagnostic tools—such as infrared scanners and moisture meters—to pinpoint trouble spots. Once identified, we provide targeted repairs that address the root cause, preventing recurring problems.
Routine maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your waterproofing system. We offer scheduled inspections and upkeep services, allowing us to catch minor issues early and prevent them from turning into major repairs. Regular maintenance also helps keep your property compliant with local building codes and ensures occupant safety.
