Methane Mitigation
Methane mitigation involves assessing soil gas levels and designing systems to prevent hazardous gas intrusion into buildings. Our approach combines hazardous soil gas reports with foundation plans to create tailored extraction systems. We prioritize budget-conscious designs while adhering to jurisdictional standards, ensuring safety and compliance for residential and commercial developments.
VOC Mitigation
VOC mitigation addresses volatile organic compounds in soil gas through specialized membrane systems and venting solutions. We collaborate with certified engineers to analyze contamination levels and implement barriers that prevent vapor intrusion. Our methods protect indoor air quality and structural integrity, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and urban sites.
Below Grade Waterproofing
Below-grade waterproofing safeguards foundations from water intrusion using spray-applied membranes and sheet systems. We evaluate construction plans to design durable solutions for elevator pits, shoring walls, and subterranean structures. Our Tremco-certified installers ensure watertight seals that prevent catastrophic failures in high-water-table environments.
Environmental Membrane Systems
Environmental membrane systems create impermeable barriers against methane, VOCs, and water using materials like Tremco VaporLock and GSE HDPE. We install these systems in compliance with city codes, ensuring long-term protection for schools, commercial developments, and oil field sites. Our expertise includes complex multi-level subterranean projects.
Specialty Coatings
Specialty coatings provide corrosion resistance and chemical protection for concrete substrates. We apply products like Tremco Paraseal GM and Liquid Boot to enhance durability in harsh environments. These coatings integrate with methane and waterproofing systems, extending the lifespan of infrastructure in methane-prone or contaminated areas.
Questions
What is methane mitigation, and why is it necessary?
Methane mitigation prevents flammable gas from entering buildings by installing barriers and venting systems. It's required in high-risk zones like Los Angeles to ensure safety and code compliance.

We did not work with this company but found their trash in our dumpster. Very unprofessional and did not even come and clean when they got caught.

I would definitely hire Ray Construction again. Of the several contractors we had come out to quote us, Ray's stood out as someone I felt I could trust to do the work to my house, and I was not disappointed. Pricing was competitive, work quality appears to be good, and at several points they took the time to do the job right - to explain what they encountered and why it should be addressed. They didn't try to nickel and dime me for additional work. They were communicative and prompt. I am quite happy with the work they did and would recommend them without hesitation to family and friends.
