About us
Our Mission
AguaSeal Waterproofing Systems was born out of necessity.
In a manner reminiscent of the gradual disappearance of traditional “mom & pop” establishments due to the rise of large-scale retail chains, smaller roofing contractors often find themselves marginalized in relation to prominent companies within the roofing and waterproofing industries. AguaSeal stands poised to extend its services and support to both, the modest contractors, and the industry giants.
Purposefully curating a vast assortment of products, our offerings are tailored to suit your specific project needs. Our products are meticulously crafted to expedite project timelines without compromising craftsmanship or jeopardizing warranty requirements.
The AguaSeal team commands extensive expertise garnered over several decades working with fluid-applied roofing systems and stands strategically positioned to assist you, even if it means directing you towards alternative solutions that may better address your project needs.
Meet the Team
Carl Evans
Founder of AguaSeal
Launching an entirely new style of product into a truly well-established industry is a bold and major under-taking. Ultimately, it was the infamous Hurricane Hugo of 1989, with it’s sustained winds of 159 mph, that inspired the concept. While roofs all around Charleston Naval Base were torn off and dumped hundreds of yards away, the one building allocated to the fluid applied system by the Naval Facilities Department stood firm. After the storm had passed, an inspection of the roof revealed not one millimeter of the product had been compromised.
Carl Evans was one of the original founders of Hydro Stop in 1994.
Carl spent many years convincing Facility Managers at US military bases all across the Sunbelt states to give him an audience. He then convinced them to give him a roof, then another… and thus the seed was planted.
As those Facility Managers were moved from Base to Base, all across the USA and into the western Pacific, so Carl followed and the roofs continued to be fluid applied.
In 1999 Carl set up operations in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. Since that time Carl has developed new products, always predicated on USA resins and other raw materials, and has stayed true to all of the original Rohm & Haas formulas.
His operation in China flourishes today, importing US raw materials, blending them into the finished product and delivering them all over the vast country for hundreds of applicators. In addition, Carl has developed an international business by providing product to clients from Australia, to the Middle East, to Europe, southern Asia, and has even established another manufacturing plant in Seoul, South Korea.
Carl is a native of Charleston, South Carolina.
