Water Repellent & Seal

Home Services Waterproofing & Restoration Services Water Repellent & Seal

Advanced applications to shield surfaces from moisture damage

Moisture is one of the leading causes of structural deterioration. AFR’s water repellent and sealant services are designed to protect your building’s surfaces—both new and historic—from the damaging effects of water, without altering their appearance or breathability.

Using premium products like Prosoco’s breathable water repellents, we apply advanced treatments that penetrate deeply into masonry, stone, concrete, and other porous materials. These solutions form a long-lasting barrier against water intrusion while allowing trapped moisture to escape, preventing issues like efflorescence, spalling, and mold growth.

Why property owners trust our sealing services:

  • Defends against rain, snow, and freeze/thaw cycles

  • Helps maintain structural integrity and appearance

  • Reduces maintenance costs over time

  • Environmentally friendly, vapor-permeable formulations

Preserve your building’s value and beauty with AFR’s expert water repellent and sealing solutions.

Stop Moisture Before It Becomes Mold, Cracks, or Costly Repairs

Water is a building’s worst enemy—and in the Bay Area, with its fog, rain cycles, and coastal air, it’s a constant presence. Over time, water penetrates porous surfaces like brick, concrete, and stucco, leading to spalling, staining, corrosion, and even structural damage.

At AFR Windows, we provide professional water repellent and seal services that defend your building envelope—preserving appearance, preventing moisture intrusion, and prolonging the lifespan of your exterior.


The Problem: Unsealed Surfaces Soak Up Trouble

You may not see the damage until it’s too late. Without proper sealants or water repellents, exterior surfaces absorb moisture—leading to:

  • Efflorescence and white staining on masonry

  • Cracking or delamination of stucco and concrete

  • Interior leaks and mold growth

  • Degradation of reinforcing steel or anchors

  • Freeze/thaw damage in colder Bay Area microclimates

Even buildings that were sealed during original construction lose protection over time. If it’s been more than 5–10 years, or your property has undergone cleaning, paint removal, or power washing, your water repellents may be worn or completely ineffective.


The Solution: Proven Water Repellent and Seal Treatments That Last

Our team applies industry-leading water repellent and sealing systems to help Bay Area buildings shed water, resist damage, and meet modern building envelope performance standards.

We tailor the product and process to your surface and needs, including:

  • Silane/Siloxane penetrating sealers for masonry, brick, and concrete

  • Elastomeric coatings for stucco and cementitious finishes

  • Clear breathable sealants that prevent moisture while allowing vapor escape

  • UV-stable, graffiti-resistant topcoats for high-traffic urban areas

  • Joint pre-sealing and crack repairs for optimal coverage

All products are applied by trained technicians and designed to withstand rain, sun, fog, and freeze cycles common across the Bay Area’s microclimates.


Who We Serve

We work with:

  • Commercial building owners protecting façade investments

  • Property managers and HOAs responsible for long-term building health

  • Developers preparing for final inspections or turnover

  • Historic preservation teams looking to preserve aesthetic while preventing decay

Whether you’re maintaining a downtown mid-rise, a coastal apartment complex, or a historic brick building, we’ll select and apply the right protection system for your substrate and environment.


Where Water Repellent & Seal Matters Most

Our services are ideal for:

  • Brick, CMU, or concrete façades

  • Stucco and EIFS exteriors

  • Stone veneer or natural stone surfaces

  • Precast panels and tilt-up walls

  • Balcony decks and parapet caps

  • Pedestrian surfaces, planters, and garage walls

We also seal surfaces after leak repairs, crack injections, and repointing to help ensure long-term success.


The AFR Difference: Not Just Applied—Engineered to Last

Our crews are trained not only in product application, but in:

✅ Building envelope science to spot early warning signs
✅ Surface prep and compatibility testing
✅ Application techniques that ensure saturation and coverage
✅ Moisture management best practices for both new and existing buildings
✅ Manufacturer-backed warranties and product documentation

We don’t just apply coatings—we install durable, water-shedding systems designed to extend the life of your building.
