Floor Sealing and Waterproofing

At Sacramento Flooring Company, we've been providing professional floor sealing and waterproofing services to homeowners throughout the Sacramento area for years. Our waterproofing treatments create a durable barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating your floors, extending their lifespan and maintaining their beauty.


Water damage can quickly ruin even the highest quality flooring, leading to expensive repairs or replacements. Our specialized sealing techniques work on various floor types including hardwood, tile, and concrete. We use only premium materials from trusted suppliers, ensuring your floors receive long-lasting protection against spills, pet accidents, and everyday moisture.


You deserve floors that stay beautiful for years to come. Our waterproofing solutions not only protect your investment but also make cleaning easier and improve your indoor air quality by preventing mold growth. We take pride in delivering quality workmanship that Sacramento homeowners have come to trust, with results that speak for themselves.

Importance of Sealing and Waterproofing

Proper sealing and waterproofing protect your investment by preventing water damage that can lead to warping, mold growth, and structural weakening. At Sacramento Flooring Company, we prioritize these protective measures because water is flooring's biggest enemy. Even floors marketed as "waterproof" often need extra protection at seams and edges. Without proper sealing, moisture can penetrate through tiny cracks and damage subflooring.


Waterproofing also improves indoor air quality by preventing mold and mildew growth. This is especially important in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements where moisture levels are naturally higher. For homes with children or pets, sealed floors are easier to clean and maintain. The protective barrier makes spills easier to wipe up before they can cause damage.

Types of Waterproofing Techniques

We offer several waterproofing solutions tailored to different flooring materials and needs:


  • Penetrating sealers: These soak into porous materials like concrete, stone, and grout to create a chemical barrier that repels water while allowing the surface to breathe.


  • Topical sealants: Applied as coatings on the surface, these create a protective film that prevents water from reaching the flooring material. They're ideal for bathroom floors and other high-moisture areas.


  • Membrane systems: These involve applying a continuous waterproof membrane beneath flooring in areas prone to flooding or extreme moisture exposure.



  • Crack injection: For existing floors with cracks, we use specialized techniques to inject waterproofing compounds that fill and seal damaged areas.

Services We Offer

We specialize in protecting floors from moisture damage with high-quality products and expert application techniques.

Residential Waterproofing Services

We offer complete waterproofing solutions for all areas of your home. Our shower waterproofing service creates a reliable moisture barrier that prevents water from seeping into subfloors and causing structural damage or mold growth.


For kitchens and bathrooms, our tile waterproofing treatments seal grout lines and porous surfaces to repel water and resist stains. This extends the life of your tile and makes cleaning much easier.


Basement floors receive our specialized concrete sealing treatment that blocks moisture migration and prevents efflorescence. This keeps your basement dry and usable year round.

Commercial and Industrial Services

Our commercial waterproofing services are designed for high traffic environments that require durable protection. We use industrial-grade sealants that withstand heavy foot traffic, equipment movement, and chemical exposure.


For retail spaces, we apply treatments that create slip-resistant surfaces while maintaining an attractive appearance. These coatings resist staining and simplify maintenance routines.


Restaurant kitchens benefit from our food-safe floor sealing products that create a non-porous surface resistant to oils, foods, and cleaning chemicals. This helps maintain hygiene standards while protecting the underlying floor.

Outdoor and Specialized Surfaces

Our outdoor waterproofing services protect exterior surfaces from rain, snow, UV damage, and temperature fluctuations. Pool deck sealing creates a slip-resistant surface that stays cooler in direct sunlight and resists chlorine damage.


Paver sealing enhances color while providing protection against moss, weeds, and water erosion. We use penetrating sealers that maintain the natural appearance while adding significant protection.


Stamped concrete sealing preserves decorative elements and prevents color fading. Our sealants penetrate deeply to provide lasting protection without changing the texture or appearance of the design.

Regular Cleaning Guidelines

We recommend vacuuming your carpet at least twice a week. High-traffic areas may need daily attention. Use a vacuum with strong suction and a rotating brush.



Deep clean your carpet every 12-18 months. Professional cleaning is best, but you can rent a carpet cleaner for DIY maintenance.


Don't forget about your carpet's edges. Use the crevice tool on your vacuum to clean along baseboards and in corners.


Place doormats at all entrances to trap dirt before it reaches your carpet. Consider a no-shoes policy indoors to minimize dirt tracked onto carpets.

The Process of Sealing and Waterproofing

Our specialists follow a proven methodology that maximizes both durability and appearance while providing true waterproof protection.

  • 1. Initial Assessment and Consultation

    We begin every project with a thorough evaluation of your floors. Our waterproofing specialists will visit your property to examine the current condition of your surfaces, identify potential problem areas, and determine moisture levels. This helps us understand exactly what type of treatment your floors need.


    During this consultation, we'll discuss your expectations and requirements. We'll explain which waterproof concrete sealers or floor treatments would work best for your specific situation - whether it's for basement sealants, damp sealing, or general floor protection.

  • 2. Preparation and Application

    Before applying any waterproof seal, proper preparation is essential. We'll thoroughly clean your floors to remove dirt, debris, and any previous coatings that might interfere with the new sealant. For concrete surfaces, we may need to grind, sand, or acid-etch to create the optimal surface profile. The application process varies depending on the type of sealer and floor:


    For concrete floors:


    • We apply penetrating sealers that bond with the concrete
    • Multiple coats may be required for maximum protection
    • Drying time between applications is strictly observed

    For other flooring types:


    • We use specialized waterproofing treatments compatible with your specific flooring
    • Application techniques vary from spray-on to roll-on methods
    • Each layer is carefully applied to ensure complete coverage

    Our team uses only premium-grade waterproofing products that provide lasting protection while maintaining the natural look of your floors.

  • 3. Quality Assurance and Maintenance

    Once the sealing treatment is complete, we perform thorough quality checks to ensure the waterproof seal meets our high standards. We conduct moisture tests and visual inspections to verify complete coverage and proper curing.


    Most of our waterproofing applications last 5-10 years with proper care, but different environments and usage patterns can affect longevity. We offer ongoing maintenance services to help extend the life of your waterproofing.


    For commercial clients, we can schedule regular maintenance visits to inspect your sealed floors and address any issues before they become problems. Our waterproofing repair services can quickly restore any damaged areas to maintain continuous protection.
