Trusted roof waterproofing in Cedar Rapids, IA. Our certified crews deliver precision workmanship and guaranteed results.
Ponding water destroys conventional roof waterproofing because standing water attacks seams and coating adhesion. Our SPF-based waterproofing systems in Cedar Rapids are engineered to handle indefinite ponding — the silicone topcoat does not re-emulsify, soften, or deteriorate in standing water.
When Cedar Rapids, IA property owners need roof waterproofing, they turn to Lapolla Industries for the same reason thousands of customers nationwide do: we solve the root problem, not just the symptom. Our diagnostic approach uses infrared scanning, moisture mapping, and visual inspection to ensure the solution we recommend is the one your building actually needs.
With over two decades of spray foam experience, our Cedar Rapids crews have seen every roof waterproofing scenario Iowa weather can create. We use that experience to select the right foam type, coating system, and application method for your specific property — delivering roof waterproofing results that hold up to Cedar Rapids conditions year after year.
How our certified crews deliver precision roof waterproofing in Cedar Rapids, IA.
Every project begins with a thorough inspection of your property. We evaluate the existing condition, identify problem areas, and use infrared moisture scanning when needed to reveal hidden issues. You receive a detailed report with photos and honest recommendations.
Our preparation process includes substrate inspection, cleaning, moisture testing, and priming. We mask all areas not receiving foam, set up containment where needed, and verify that temperature and humidity conditions are within specification for application.
Using precision spray equipment, our crews apply the foam in controlled passes to achieve the specified thickness and density. The closed-cell foam expands 30 to 40 times its liquid volume, conforming to every detail of the surface and creating a seamless monolithic barrier.
After the foam cures, we apply a UV-protective coating — silicone, acrylic, or elastomeric — selected for your specific application and climate. We then remove all masking, clean up the work area, and conduct a final walkthrough with you to verify satisfaction.

Real feedback from property owners who trusted Lapolla Industries with their spray foam projects.
"Our corrugated metal roof was rusting at every fastener and seam. They cleaned the entire surface, treated the rust, and applied a thick elastomeric coating. The roof looks brand new and is completely sealed now."
"Attic insulation upgrade from blown-in to spray foam. The crew masked everything off properly and the overspray was minimal. The temperature in our attic dropped dramatically and so did our energy bills. Worth the investment."
"Our old three-layer built-up roof was beyond saving. They stripped everything down to the deck, repaired the substrate, and installed a new spray foam roofing system. The building is better insulated now than it has ever been."
