Client Location: Brooklyn, NY
Service Type: Exterior Staircase Waterproofing & Steel Restoration
Company: Zavza Seal LLC
Project Overview
Zavza Seal LLC was contacted to restore and protect an aging exterior staircase in Brooklyn, NY. The staircase had visible signs of wear, rust, and water penetration, posing safety and structural concerns. Our comprehensive solution included power washing, steel surface treatment, waterproofing, and anti-slip sealing—all executed with minimal disruption to foot traffic.
Scope of Work
1. Surface Cleaning & Preparation
Our team began by power washing the entire staircase, removing layers of dirt, debris, and biological growth. This essential step exposed the condition of the masonry and metal supports beneath and set the stage for proper sealing and treatment.
2. Steel Support Grinding & Rust Treatment
The metal right-angle support brackets showed signs of corrosion. We:
- Ground all exposed steel to bare metal, removing rust, loose paint, and any foreign material.
- Applied two coats of high-quality rust-inhibitor paint to ensure long-term protection against further oxidation.
This process helps extend the lifespan of the structural components and improves the staircase’s overall safety.
3. Sealing & Waterproofing
To address water infiltration and surface wear, Zavza Seal applied a non-slip penetrating waterproof sealer specially formulated for stone and concrete stairs.
Staging for Accessibility:
To maintain uninterrupted access, the job was strategically staged in two phases:
- We sealed the right half of the stairs first.
- After allowing adequate drying time, we completed the left half, ensuring safe access throughout the project.
This sealer provides:
- Immediate surface protection against slips and water damage.
- Long-term waterproofing that penetrates deep into the stone, with an effective lifespan of 10+ years at depth—even though surface traction may reduce over time.

These results reflect Zavza Seal’s commitment to quality, safety, and durable craftsmanship.
