We Answer the Hard Questions





We design details for those tough-to-build situations (a deck over living space, window installations at a high-exposure site, etc.). You know how to build it, but are you sure it will be watertight year after year? Do you have time to check which sealants are compatible with which flashings and which materials to use to protect the building from water intrusion damage and ultimately to protect your business from litigation?

Services For Builders

Waterproofing Design and Details
MFC has a combined 130 years of construction experience evaluating damaged buildings. From inspecting and repairing over 750 installations that failed, we know what works. We are waterproofing specialists who come on site and design the custom details you need to build those challenging assemblies. We also offer on site crew training for complex installations so your team’s knowledge base grows. Our goal: No call backs.

For Designers:
Don’t let waterproofing complexities stop you from creating the design you envision. We can add the custom details, allowing you to focus on the creative elements. Let us be part of your team so the finished product is outstanding.

Investigative Testing
Are you at a remodel job site and found rot? Need an expert opinion as to what caused it? MFC will do investigative testing to discover the source of water damage that led to the rot. We also have specialized diagnostic equipment on hand to help determine the extent of the problem. You then could use our results to relay to the owners when discussing your scope of work.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
When the Owner/Builder or General/Subcontractor relationship is not working as it should, projects can run off course. In the middle of construction, if trust has broken down, MFC can get the project back on track. We have experience side-stepping the blame game, getting to the heart of the issue, and designing a fix that works. We can also come on site and be the Neutral “voice of reason,” able to communicate with all parties to work out a resolution. MFC’s Arbitrators, Mediators, and Neutral Experts will work to find common ground and a solution that is fair for all.

Testimonial
"The building industry is in a transition phase using untested ideas and materials. I am very glad we have MFC in our community to test and give their expert knowledge about these new products and techniques that are being required and recommended by building departments, material suppliers and design professionals. I can't recommend MFC enough to resolve your building problems from either the builder's or the property owner's point of view. MFC treats both with the same professionalism. The consultants at MFC are excellent problem solvers and work to bring issues to complete resolution."
