Our Story

Understanding how building protection services developed in Santiago del Estero

Foundation

Beginning in Santiago del Estero

Salvamado began providing waterproofing services in the Frías area of Santiago del Estero. The region's climate patterns—with intense summer heat and seasonal precipitation—create specific challenges for building envelope protection. Early work focused on residential terrace waterproofing and moisture remediation.

Service Expansion

Adding Thermal Insulation

Client requests for energy efficiency improvements led to expanding services to include thermal insulation. Santiago del Estero experiences significant temperature variations, making thermal performance relevant for both comfort and operating costs. This required learning about different insulation materials and their appropriate applications.

Technical Development

Diagnostic Equipment

Adding moisture meters and thermal imaging equipment improved diagnostic accuracy. These tools help identify issues not visible during standard inspection, particularly thermal bridges and hidden moisture accumulation. Better diagnostics lead to more appropriate solution recommendations.

Commercial Projects

Working with Larger Buildings

Experience with residential work led to opportunities on commercial and multi-family buildings. These larger projects involve different scales, coordination requirements, and sometimes more complex waterproofing systems. Each project type presents unique learning opportunities.

Current Focus

Comprehensive Building Protection

Today, Salvamado provides integrated waterproofing, thermal insulation, and structural protection services. The approach emphasizes thorough assessment, appropriate material selection, and proper installation methods. Each project receives individual attention based on its specific conditions and requirements.

Assessment Before Solutions

Each project begins with understanding existing conditions. This includes visual inspection, moisture testing when appropriate, and identifying the source of problems rather than just visible symptoms.

Proper diagnosis informs solution selection. A terrace leak might stem from membrane failure, inadequate drainage, structural movement, or improper original installation. The appropriate response differs based on the actual cause.

We document findings and explain options, including their relative advantages and limitations. This helps property owners make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Service Principles

What Guides Our Work

Thorough Assessment

Understanding the actual problem before recommending solutions. Surface symptoms may not reveal the underlying cause. Proper diagnosis requires investigation and sometimes testing.

Appropriate Solutions

Matching methods and materials to specific conditions. What works in one situation may not suit another. Budget, building use, and expected longevity all factor into recommendations.

Clear Documentation

Providing written descriptions of work performed, materials used, and maintenance recommendations. Documentation helps property owners understand what was done and supports future decision-making.

Regional Experience

Working in Santiago del Estero

The region's climate and construction practices influence how building protection work is approached. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 40°C, creating thermal stress on building materials and affecting insulation performance.

Seasonal precipitation patterns mean roofs and terraces face periods of intense sun exposure followed by heavy rain events. This cycling affects waterproofing membrane durability and requires materials that can handle both conditions.

Local construction methods, available materials, and typical building types also shape service delivery. Understanding these regional factors helps in selecting appropriate solutions and setting realistic expectations.
