Home Owner T.I.P.S.
Training ~ Investigation ~ Price ~ Serviceability
Consider remodeling or improving your home an investment and determine the value you are adding. Numerous products claim they can waterproof, but only a few meet the IBC requirements for a roof system that allows pedestrian traffic.
Before buying, be sure to address these topics:
Training
- How were they trained?
- Look for documented, supplier-provided training + hands-on experience.
- Do they have local support for technical, detail, or planning concerns?
- Can they produce the written details for any portion of the work that you request?
- Avoid on-the-job experience — their experience shouldn't come at your cost.
Investigate
- What am I buying? Is the product being used for its intended purpose?
- Does it come with a company-backed warranty and what are the exclusions?
- What is the company history?
- When waterproofing over a living space, always investigate the risk of product failure.
Price
- Is the price broken down so I can see exactly what I am getting?
- When comparing prices, ensure that the products are comparable.
- The cost to maintain and repair should be included.
- What is the cost if there is a leak? Repairs can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
- Be cautious — you may indeed get what you pay for.
Serviceability
- How durable is the product and what if I want to replace it or make a change?
- Is it repaired easily?
- What is the expected lifetime?
- How long does it take to install and how soon can it be used?
- For new construction, who can help you with your design in order to reduce costs?
When it comes to your home and property, don't settle for less than the best.
