Expert Moisture Protection and Waterproofing Estimating

Welcome to F&K Estimatings, specializing in industry-leading waterproofing estimating services tailored for moisture protection contractors, roofing specialists, and below-grade foundation experts. In the waterproofing trade, failure is expensive. Underestimating the amount of high-density air barrier needed for a commercial facade or missing the linear footage of expensive expansion joints in a plaza deck can destroy your project's balance sheet.

Our veteran waterproofing estimators leverage high-precision on-screen digitizers to map every vertical and horizontal surface requiring moisture protection. We provide a granular material list including membrane volumes, protection boards, waterstops, and sealants that allows you to bid with absolute confidence. Partner with our team to standardize your moisture protection bids and eliminate the risks associated with high-complexity waterproofing scopes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you calculate exact square footage for foundation membranes?

Yes, we providing highly accurate square footage takeoffs for cold-fluid applied, hot-applied, and self-adhered sheet membranes, including all necessary vertical transitions and overlaps.

Can you estimate bentonite clay and specialized waterstops?

Absolutely. We quantify all expansion joints, waterstops (PVC or hydrophilic), and bentonite clay systems required for deep below-grade structural waterproofing.

How do you handle site drainage and protection boards?

Our waterproofing estimators calculate exact acreage for drainage mats and protection boards, ensuring your bid includes the specialized layers needed to protect the primary membrane from backfill.

Do your takeoffs include joint sealants and flashing?

Yes. From silicone joint sealants for curtain walls to copper or stainless steel thru-wall flashing, we provide exact linear footage for all moisture protection accessories.

What is your turnaround for a complex commercial waterproofing estimate?

Standard commercial moisture protection packages are typically delivered within 48 to 72 hours. Massive high-rise basements or complex plaza-deck systems may take 5 business days.
