Since 1993, EPRO has been driven by its passion for making a positive impact on the construction community by providing solutions to protect the building envelope.
We wanted to take a moment to talk about who we are, how we started, and how we support client communities. Get to know us, our technology, our team and what we can do for you.
Humble Beginnings
EPRO was founded in 1993 by David Polk and his partners. The journey began with various foundation products with the advent of a water-based, spray-applied polymer-modified asphaltic emulsion.
Observing a gap in the market, our founders recognized an opportunity to provide owners, consultants, architects and contractors with superior waterproofing and contaminant vapor protection solutions. EPRO quickly grew as the company worked on refining its technology and building a success with a rapidly growing list of clients.
In 2020, we acquired Kingfield Construction Products and is proud to add their products to EPRO’s diverse waterproofing solutions. This addition confirmed our ability to provide superior options for waterproofing solutions.
EPRO’s Design Philosophy
Our waterproofing systems can be matched to each unique project depending on respective site conditions, construction schedules, material availability, methodologies, budget allotments and level of protection desired.
We know that waterproofing installation is crucial to the construction process, and we are proud to offer both single membrane and multi-layer composite membranes: EPRO has everything you need to waterproof any project at any location.
EPRO’s original design philosophy can be summarized by four guiding principles:
- Minimize the number of seams.
- Fully adhere the system to the substrate.
- Utilize multiple waterproofing materials to create redundancy.
- Create value through installation methods.
We continues this philosophy with the new products we added from the Kingfield acquisition - products that still adhere to these basic design principles and provide value to our customers.
We have both membrane systems that can be pre-applied to seal foundation slabs or shoring walls and those that can be post-applied to freestanding concrete walls or podium decks.
Commitment to Service
While we have created superior, high-quality products, that’s only half of our success! EPRO is deeply committed to providing our customers with world-renowned service.
We dedicate ourselves to being available and responsive to you, your project and all its nuances. We make sure to listen carefully, work diligently to solve challenges faced in the field, and constantly innovate to meet the demands of an ever-changing construction industry.
With every client and project, we promise to always deliver the best solution possible and to stand with you throughout the entire process. We are confident enough in our products to offer some of the best warranties in the industry.
EPRO Today and EPRO Tomorrow
Today, EPRO Services is still led by founder and CEO, David Polk, and by his son Kevin Polk, President, making it a true family business. David’s vision was simple from the start: Focus on differentiating through support and service. Founded on this vision, EPRO continues to thrive today thanks to our deep relationships that constantly enable collaboration and sharing information and ideas.
EPRO continues to grow every year, domestically and internationally, and we are looking forward to the next 30 years of success, due in large part to our employees, customers, sales representatives, consultants, distributors and vendors.
