You can make a lot of money in the leak seal business. There are many markets to take advantage of, including Residential, Commercial-Industrial, and Municipal. Let’s take a quick look at all three…
Residential Leak Seal
The residential sector offers a growing market for leak seal contractors as homeowners increasingly convert basements into living spaces. Foundation walls, often subjected to hydrostatic pressure and settling, frequently develop cracks allowing water intrusion. Floor-wall joints present ongoing challenges for moisture management and represent consistent sources of leak seal projects. As awareness of health risks associated with damp basements grows, the demand for skilled contractors in this field is set to increase, promising steady opportunities for those with the right expertise.
Commercial-Industrial Leak Seal
Commercial basements, often sprawling beneath large office buildings or retail spaces, frequently require waterproofing solutions. Parking garages, with their expansive concrete structures exposed to the elements, present ongoing challenges for moisture intrusion. Electrical utility vaults, critical for housing sensitive equipment, demand absolute dryness to maintain operational integrity. Elevator pits, found in virtually every multi-story building, are particularly vulnerable to water ingress and represent a consistent source of leak seal projects. These applications are just a glimpse into the vast potential this specialized field offers to skilled contractors.
Municipal Leak Seal
Infiltration and Inflow plague aging sewer and stormwater systems across the country; especially in areas with high water tables and sandy soils. Over time, compacted soils around catch basins, manholes, and culverts relax resulting in in deflection of joints and pipe connections. The end result is the infiltration of groundwater into the storm and wastewater systems. This infiltration erodes the soils surrounding below-grade drainage structures resulting in sinkholes, settling roadways, and property damage; not to mention the extra cost of treating that uninvited groundwater. There will NEVER be enough leak seal contractors out there to address ALL of these current and future needs. Your fortune awaits…IF you know what you’re doing.
