Foundation walls that don't have proper parging, also known as basement walls, of majority of the buildings such as houses, office buildings and apartment complexes are susceptible to various hazards. We also want to take Edmonton’s weather into consideration, where the walls may start to crumble and get cracks in time due to outer elements. These cracks can seem unimportant at first, but over time they could cause large problems like water damage and leaks into the basement. Damages on parging and concrete should be taken quite seriously and usually require immediate repair, so if you are experiencing this issue please don't hesitate to reach out to us today and we will give you an estimate on the repair. What is parging? Parging is a thin coating of cement material which is particularly useful for concrete foundation and basement walls. It is a very effective way to cover and strengthen outer foundation and basement walls and windows. It can also be used to cover retaining walls, steps, risers and garage sides. Contrary to common thought, concrete walls require protection with the proper concrete mix. A strong parge coat will protect the concrete structure against various external factors and hazards. If needed, flashings and membrane tapes can be applied for additional water control. Then depending on our customers needs and wishes, we can install a textured layer or acrylic coat. The finished look will not only transform the aesthetics of your home and the foundation, but it will also provide an great protection to keep away damage and water erosion for many years. If you notice that your parging begins falling apart, cracking, chipping away or crumbling, it would be a good idea to start giving consideration to having a new layer of parge mix applied from a qualified masonry repair company. Don't leave it unattended, if not treated in a timely manner, even simple hairline cracks can turn into a deeper crack. When water supposedly gets in and freezes due to seasonal conditions, it slowly starts to hurt the parging mix and cause it to degrade more. If the condition is severe enough and large sections start falling off, a complete removal of your old parging and application of a new coat would be highly recommended.

Over many years of our operation, many new foundations on residential homes and commercial buildings have an innovative system called ICF (insulated concrete forms). This insulated system keeps the concrete dry and helps to prevent heat dissipation with foam but by default, foams are not resistant to dirt, ice, water and wind in the long term. Therefore you need our ICF parging service where we can provide various textures and designs. Proper parging installation and repair services can be cost effective compared to other coating and wall systems. Our company provides free estimating and can start the work right away on the given scheduled date. Contact us for your free estimate today.

Parging is a crucial aspect of maintaining and protecting the exterior walls of a building. It involves applying a protective coating to the surface of the walls, providing an extra layer of insulation, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal. In this in-depth overview, we will delve into the various aspects of parging services, including its importance, the process involved, materials used, and the benefits it offers. Importance of Parging Services: Parging services play a vital role in preserving the structural integrity of a building. The exterior walls are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, wind, and UV rays. Over time, these elements can cause damage to the walls, leading to cracks, erosion, and moisture penetration. Parging helps to prevent these issues by creating a protective barrier that shields the walls from the damaging effects of the environment. Process of Parging: The process of parging involves several steps to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Here is a breakdown of the typical parging process: 1. Surface Preparation: Before applying the parging material, the surface of the walls needs to be prepared. This involves cleaning the walls to remove any dirt, debris, or loose material. If there are any existing cracks or damaged areas, they will be repaired or patched to ensure a smooth and even surface. 2. Application of Parging Material: Once the surface is prepared, the parging material is applied using specialized tools, such as trowels or sprayers. The material is carefully spread over the walls, ensuring an even and consistent thickness. The parging material can be a cement-based mixture, acrylic-based, or a combination of both, depending on the specific requirements and preferences of the homeowner. 3. Texturing and Finishing: After the parging material is applied, it can be textured and finished to achieve the desired look. Various techniques can be used to create different textures, such as sponge floating, brush strokes, or stucco patterns. The choice of texture depends on the homeowner's preference and the architectural style of the building. 4. Curing and Drying: Once the parging is complete, it needs time to cure and dry properly. This usually takes a few days, during which the parging material hardens and strengthens. It is essential to protect the freshly applied parging from rain, excessive moisture, or extreme temperatures during this curing period. Materials Used in Parging: Parging materials can vary depending on the specific requirements and preferences of the homeowner. The most commonly used materials include: 1. Cement-Based Mixtures: Cement-based parging materials are a popular choice due to their durability and strength. These mixtures typically consist of cement, sand, and water. They provide excellent weather resistance and can withstand the freeze-thaw cycles common in colder climates. 2. Acrylic-Based Coatings: Acrylic-based parging materials offer enhanced flexibility and adhesion properties. They are often used in areas with high movement or where additional flexibility is required, such as over concrete foundations or on older buildings prone to settling.3. Polymer-Modified Mixtures: Polymer-modified parging materials combine the benefits of both cement-based and acrylic-based mixtures. These mixtures contain additives that enhance the strength, flexibility, and adhesion properties of the parging material. They are an excellent choice for areas that require increased durability and resistance to cracking.
