Frequently Asked Questions: Commercial Overhead Dock Doors, Dock Seals & Building Envelope Waterproofing in Bloomington, MN

How much heat is our Bloomington warehouse losing through worn-out loading dock seals and uninsulated doors?

A single 8'x9' loading dock in Normandale Lake Office Park (8000–8500 Normandale), South Loop District (Mall of America / Bloomington Central Station), West Bloomington Industrial Park (W 90th–98th St), Southgate Office Plaza, Lyndale Ave Industrial Corridor with torn dock pads and missing leveler brush seals leaks the equivalent of a 2-foot-square hole in the wall 24/7—costing $2,500 to $4,200 per door every Minnesota winter in wasted natural gas.

Should we install compression foam dock seals or rigid/flexible dock shelters on our Bloomington facility?

Standard 8'x8' or 8'x9' doors serving uniform 53-foot dry vans in Bloomington achieve the tightest thermal seal with compression foam pads; larger 10'x10' doors or facilities receiving varied trailer heights with liftgates require wipe-style dock shelters.

Why is water leaking into our underground parking garage or basement mechanical room in Bloomington?

De-icing salts tracked onto plaza decks and parking ramps in Hennepin County corrode reinforcing steel and split concrete expansion joints. We rout and seal dynamic joints and apply multi-layer elastomeric traffic coatings.

Can you replace smashed loading dock bumpers, bent door tracks, and crumbling dock concrete in Bloomington?

Yes. Our commercial exterior crews rebuild spalled concrete dock edges, weld structural steel channel angles, anchor laminated dock bumpers, and install concrete-filled steel pipe bollards.
