Condo Waterproofing in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Building-wide waterproofing programs are typically funded through a combination of reserve fund contributions and, for major capital scopes that exceed reserve balances, special assessments or HOA-secured commercial financing. Planet Construction FL provides detailed scope and cost documentation in the format needed to support reserve study updates and board presentations. For large scopes, we can structure phased contracts that align with annual budget cycles rather than requiring full commitment upfront.

Common element repairs — including balcony structural repairs, exterior wall waterproofing, and parking garage work — are typically the association's authority to approve and manage without individual unit owner approval. Work involving access to a specific unit, or work that affects unit owner exclusive use areas, may require individual unit owner notice and consent per the association's governing documents. Planet Construction FL's project managers work with property managers to understand each association's specific requirements before work begins.

Yes — many SB 4-D milestone inspection reports include waterproofing deficiency findings, particularly at balconies, parking structures, and building envelopes. Planet Construction FL executes waterproofing repairs in response to milestone inspection findings in coordination with the structural engineer of record, maintaining the documentation required to close each finding. Our familiarity with SB 4-D requirements and the documentation standards that engineers use to verify repair completion makes this process efficient for associations under compliance pressure.

A comprehensive building waterproofing program for a large Fort Lauderdale condominium building — covering balconies, parking structure, roof, and exterior walls — typically runs 1–3 years as a phased program. Prioritized urgent repairs are completed in the first phase, followed by systematic work through the remaining building elements in subsequent phases timed to budget cycles. We develop a master program schedule at the outset so the board and property management can plan the full program before committing to individual phase contracts.
