Protecting Jackson Office Towers, Hospitals, State Buildings & Historic Landmarks from Heavy Rain and Shifting Ground
Commercial Building Restoration Experts Serving Jackson, MS
Jackson buildings face a combination few cities share. Well over 50 inches of rain a year, much of it in violent spring and summer thunderstorms, drives water into every joint and crack. Long, humid summers harden sealants and feed mildew and algae on shaded walls. And the Yazoo clay beneath the city swells when wet and shrinks when dry, slowly moving foundations and cracking brick, stucco and the seals that keep water out.
Presto Restoration has restored and waterproofed commercial buildings, parking structures and historic properties across the country for more than 25 years. In Jackson our crews work on downtown office towers, state government buildings, the University of Mississippi Medical Center and other hospitals, college campuses, hotels, apartment communities and the historic buildings downtown and in Fondren and Belhaven. We use high-movement sealant systems, breathable coatings and restoration products we make ourselves.
OUR BUILDING RESTORATION & WATERPROOFING SERVICES IN JACKSON, MS
Exterior restoration, waterproofing and building envelope consulting for commercial properties in Jackson and across Hinds, Madison and Rankin counties.
Heavy rain and building movement tear open the seals that keep Jackson buildings dry. We reseal expansion joints, window and storefront perimeters, window walls and parapets with high-movement systems.
From historic brick and limestone downtown to modern medical and office buildings, Jackson facades crack and stain under rain, heat and movement. We replace sealants, repair masonry, stucco and concrete and restore metal and glass.
Structures serving downtown, the state buildings, hospitals and campuses soak up rain all year. We rebuild damaged concrete, replace leaking joints and add traffic membranes that keep water away from the steel.
Heavy rain, ponding water and summer heat wear out Jackson roofs. Many can be restored with seam and flashing repairs and a reflective coating instead of a costly tear-off.
Jackson’s historic buildings include the Old Capitol, the Governor’s Mansion, the State Capitol, the King Edward Hotel and the Lamar Life Building. We preserve them with matched lime mortars, masonry stitching and terra cotta and stone repair.
Storms drive water in while the ground below opens new cracks, so Jackson leaks can move around. We find the real source with controlled water testing, thermal imaging, moisture surveys, drone photos and hands-on inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building Restoration in Jackson, MS
What types of commercial buildings does Presto restore in Jackson?
Office towers, state and government buildings, hospitals and medical campuses, college buildings, hotels, apartment communities, parking structures and historic buildings. We work with brick, limestone, terra cotta, stucco, concrete, precast, metal panels, glass and roofing.
How does Jackson’s climate affect commercial buildings?
Heavy, wind-driven rain pushes water into joints and cracks, long humid summers harden sealants and feed mildew, and the clay soil swells and shrinks, moving the building and opening new cracks.
How long does a building restoration project take in Jackson?
A sealant replacement may take a few weeks, while a full facade restoration can take several months. Exterior work runs most of the year, planned around summer heat and stormy stretches.
Does Presto handle permits in Jackson?
Yes. We work with the City of Jackson’s Planning and Development Department when permits are required, coordinate through general contractors on larger jobs and welcome owners who pull their own permits. Every project is covered by Presto’s nationwide general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
What is the difference between building restoration and building maintenance?
Maintenance covers cleaning and small touch-ups. Restoration repairs what has failed, such as torn joints, cracked brick and spalled concrete, so the building stops letting water in.
How do I know if my Jackson building needs restoration?
Watch for step cracks in brick, split caulking, cracked stucco, rust stains, dark staining from mildew and water marks inside after storms. Call us or request a quote, and our team will respond to help you plan the next step.
