Waterguard

Solving Moisture-Related Damage Problems

Waterguard was born out of the frustration experienced by builders, architects, and homeowners dealing with the ongoing menace of moisture-related damage in construction projects. Conventional methods for installing drywall often led to moisture wicking through the slab and causing unsightly water damage, mold growth, and degradation of the materials. Waterguard's innovative solution provides a simple and effective way to prevent these costly issues.

The Problem with Traditional Drywall Installation

Traditional drywall installation involves attaching the drywall panels directly to the studs, leaving a vulnerable gap between the drywall and the floor. This gap poses several significant problems:

• Moisture absorption: The paper facing on gypsum drywall readily absorbs moisture from the air and any spills or cleaning efforts. This creates ideal conditions for mold growth.
• Quality control issues: Manually shimming drywall with scraps poses challenges in securing the boards firmly and achieving consistent heights.
• Time-consuming cleanup: Leaving a gap at the base of the wall necessitates additional vacuuming and scraping after installation, adding unnecessary labor costs.

The Waterguard Solution

Waterguard solves these problems by providing a lightweight and effective barrier between the drywall and the floor. Its patented extrusion slides easily over the drywall and eliminates the gap between the drywall and the floor.
