COMMERCIAL
WATERPROOFING
IN FRISCO, TX.
Frisco built its Class A commercial identity fast — the fastest-growing large U.S. city from 2000 to 2019. HALL Park's 17 buildings, The Star's $255M Cowboys complex, PGA Frisco's Texas limestone headquarters — this building stock is only now reaching the 10-15 year mark when sealant joints, curtain wall glazing compounds, and waterproofing membranes require professional inspection and replacement. In a market where new competing buildings are always rising, maintaining Class A envelope standards is what keeps your tenants from looking across the street.
What Commercial Waterproofing Includes
Comprehensive moisture protection for commercial facilities — from elastomeric coatings to full membrane systems.
Elastomeric Coating Systems
Spray-applied or roll-applied flexible coatings that bridge hairline cracks and expand with temperature changes. For Frisco's EIFS-clad and concrete-panel commercial buildings at HALL Park and Frisco Station, elastomeric systems restore moisture resistance on aged cladding without full envelope replacement.
As HALL Park's earliest buildings pass the 15-year mark, elastomeric recoating is typically the most cost-effective way to extend the designed service life of original waterproofing systems by another 10-15 years while maintaining Class A appearance standards.
Membrane Waterproofing
Self-adhering and torch-applied sheet membranes for below-grade walls, plaza decks, and parking structures. These create a continuous moisture barrier where elastomeric coatings alone can't handle hydrostatic pressure.
Frisco's large mixed-use campuses — The Star, Frisco Station, Fields — include plaza decks and below-grade parking that require traffic-bearing waterproofing membranes. As these facilities move into their first major maintenance cycle, membrane inspection and replacement is a predictable scope item.
Sealant & Joint Replacement
Expansion joints, control joints, and perimeter sealants are the first line of defense — and the first to fail. We remove deteriorated caulking, prepare substrates, and install commercial-grade silicone, polyurethane, or polysulfide sealants matched to your building's movement characteristics.
At HALL Park, The Star, and Frisco Station buildings, sealant replacement at curtain wall-to-structure interfaces is the most common scope item as buildings cross the 10-15 year mark. Our 56' and 72' boom trucks provide access to upper elevations efficiently, minimizing disruption to corporate tenants below.
Penetrating Masonry Sealers
The PGA of America's 106,622-sq-ft headquarters at PGA Frisco used Texas limestone extensively across its facade. Penetrating sealers are the correct waterproofing solution for natural stone — they absorb into the substrate without altering the visual texture and allow the stone to breathe, preventing trapped-moisture deterioration.
We evaluate substrate porosity, stone type, mortar condition, and previous treatment history before recommending a sealer system suited to high-profile Class A stone facades.

Why Frisco's Class A Buildings Need Waterproofing Now
Frisco's median year built is 2009. That means a large share of the city's commercial stock — including some of its most visible Class A properties — is now 15+ years old and entering a predictable maintenance window. Original sealant compounds designed for 15-20 year service life are expiring. Elastomeric coatings applied at construction need recoating. Below-grade membranes on parking decks need inspection.
This isn't deferred maintenance — it's scheduled maintenance on a predictable cycle. The question is whether you address it proactively (low cost, minimal disruption) or reactively after interior water damage forces your hand (high cost, tenant disruption, potential liability).
Griffin Restoration operates from Whitesboro, TX, with 26+ years of commercial exterior restoration experience. We bring industrial-scale access equipment — 56' and 72' boom trucks — to Class A campuses without the coordination overhead of scaffolding, keeping your tenant operations intact during work.

Commercial Waterproofing FAQ
What is commercial waterproofing and why does my building need it?
Commercial waterproofing protects your building envelope from moisture infiltration that causes structural deterioration, mold growth, and tenant complaints. Frisco grew 500% from 2000 to 2020, meaning its Class A office campuses — HALL Park, The Star, Frisco Station — are only now approaching the 10-15 year inspection window when curtain wall re-caulking, sealant joint replacement, and waterproofing membrane inspection become necessary. In a market where competing buildings are constantly newer, maintaining Class A envelope standards is a tenant-retention issue, not just a maintenance one.
What are the signs that a commercial building needs waterproofing?
Look for water stains on interior walls or ceilings, efflorescence on exterior masonry, bubbling or peeling coatings on exterior surfaces, visible sealant shrinkage or cracking at curtain wall joints, and musty odors in lower levels. In Frisco's high-density glass-and-EIFS building stock, the most common early sign is sealant joint failure at curtain wall transitions — often invisible until it causes interior damage. Collin County's hail corridor (2.75-inch stones in April 2024) accelerates that timeline for any building that absorbed impact without a post-storm inspection.
How is commercial waterproofing different from residential?
Commercial waterproofing addresses larger surface areas, multiple substrate types (concrete, masonry, curtain wall, metal panel, EIFS), and stricter code requirements. Frisco's Class A campuses — HALL Park's 17 buildings across 162 acres, The Star's $255M, 91-acre Cowboys complex — involve complex multi-material envelopes that require phased application to keep corporate tenants operational. Each building on these campuses may have three or four distinct waterproofing systems at different elevations and conditions.
What types of waterproofing systems are used on commercial buildings?
The three primary systems are elastomeric coatings (spray- or roll-applied flexible membranes), sheet membrane systems (self-adhering or torch-applied), and penetrating sealers for masonry substrates. For Frisco's Class A curtain wall and glass-facade buildings — including the PGA of America's Texas limestone and glass headquarters at PGA Frisco — we use precision polyurethane and silicone joint sealants along with elastomeric coatings engineered for high-performance commercial envelopes. For below-grade and plaza deck applications, we use sheet membrane systems that handle hydrostatic pressure.
How often should commercial waterproofing be inspected?
We recommend annual visual inspections and a professional assessment every 3-5 years. For Frisco's Class A campuses, the 10-year mark is the standard interval for curtain wall re-caulking and joint sealant replacement — The Star opened in 2016 and is approaching that window now. For buildings that absorbed the April 2024 hail event without a professional follow-up, an inspection is overdue. Catching a failed sealant joint at a HALL Park or Frisco Station building early costs a fraction of what it costs after a season of interior water damage.
