EPRO was founded in 1993 by David Polk and his partners. With backgrounds in various foundation products and the advent of a water-based, spray-applied polymer modified asphaltic emulsion, our founders recognized an opportunity to provide owners, architects, consultants, and contractors with superior waterproofing and contaminant protection solutions. Driven by a passion for making a positive impact on the building envelope, EPRO grew quickly as its systems were refined and a track record of success was established.

EPRO's Proven System Design Philosophy

Fabricating waterproofing and contaminant protection systems in the field and seeking to maximize redundancy provides the best building envelope protection. This is a proven method EPRO calls Redundant Field-Installed Composite Design.

The four guiding principles that guide this design philosophy are:

Minimize the number of seams. Fully adhere the system to the substrate. Utilize multiple waterproofing materials to create redundancy. Create value through efficient installation methods.

Our method enables professionals to address the widest variety of conditions, ranging from simple low-risk foundations with nuisance water, to complex foundations with hydrostatic conditions and contaminated soil or groundwater. Also, these membrane systems may be pre-applied to seal foundation slabs or shoring walls, and in post-applied applications to freestanding concrete walls or podium decks.
