Waterproofing in Yaletown
Air & Water Barriers · Deck & Balcony Membranes · Through-Wall Flashing
Nixon Exteriors provides waterproofing in Yaletown, serving homeowners and property managers across Yaletown Proper, Marinaside Crescent, Homer Street Corridor, Roundhouse District and surrounding neighbourhoods. We install the membranes, barriers, and flashings that keep rain out of the wall — self-adhered and fluid-applied weather barriers, deck and balcony waterproofing, and through-wall flashing integrated with the cladding and openings. Yaletown's mid-rise and high-rise buildings face wind and rain from multiple directions — which is why the weather-resistive barrier, the flashing, and the deck membranes all have to be continuous and lapped correctly. Windows, doors, and cladding are handled by one accountable crew, with $5M liability coverage and WorkSafeBC compliance on every job.
Why Yaletown Chooses Nixon Exteriors for Waterproofing
Windows, doors, and cladding handled by one accountable contractor — every layer of the wall detailed as a continuous system.
We deliver waterproofing on converted loft condos, modern high-rises, townhouses throughout Yaletown. Yaletown's heritage warehouse conversions often need custom-sized windows that maintain industrial character while delivering modern energy efficiency and sound insulation.
Yaletown's mid-rise and high-rise buildings face wind and rain from multiple directions. Products must be specified for multi-directional weather exposure and urban noise reduction. We specify the waterproofing detailing that handles those exact conditions.
Because Nixon installs the windows, flashing, and cladding, your Yaletown project is detailed as one continuous, warrantied system — no gaps between trades.
How We Approach Waterproofing
Continuous Drainage Plane
Water always finds the path of least resistance. We build a continuous, lapped barrier so any moisture behind the cladding drains back out, not into the structure.
Detailed at the Weak Points
Leaks start at openings, decks, and penetrations. We focus on these transitions with sill pans, end dams, and counter-flashing done to spec.
Integrated with Cladding
Because Nixon installs the barrier, the rainscreen, and the cladding, the waterproofing is never compromised by a follow-on trade.
