Why we use it
BCG pays close attention to waterproofing because Baton Rouge homes live with humidity, heavy rain, and wind-driven water.
Character
Good waterproofing is rarely visible after completion, but it protects the architecture every day.
What we look for
Compatibility, transitions, drainage paths, manufacturer requirements, sequencing, and documented installation.
Design considerations
The most beautiful detail still has to move water correctly. Profile, slope, drip, and termination matter.
Installation considerations
Sequencing, laps, primers, penetrations, substrate prep, and inspection checkpoints should be planned before covering work.
Common mistakes
Relying on caulk as the primary defense, skipping mockups, or hiding transitions before they are inspected.
Maintenance + aging
Sealants, gutters, roof edges, and exterior penetrations need periodic inspection as part of home stewardship.
