Bathroom Water Proofing
01.
When planning or installing a new bathroom, you need to make sure the waterproofing is done right from the start in these areas:
- In the Shower Area: The most heavily used space needs a completely waterproof membrane and flashing to keep water away from the wall studs.
- Over Timber Floors: If your bathroom sits on timber framing or particleboard, the entire floor needs to be waterproofed to stop moisture damage.
- Upstairs Bathrooms: If you have a bathroom on an upper floor, excellent waterproofing is non-negotiable to protect the rooms below.
- Pipe and Drain Seals: Making sure the barrier wraps securely around all plumbing fixtures and waste outlets.
balcony waterproofing
02.
When planning or installing a new balcony, you need to make sure the waterproofing is done correctly from the start in these areas:
- Exposed Surfaces: Because the balcony is open to the weather, it needs a tough, flexible waterproof membrane to handle rain and hot sun.
- Where It Meets the House: Water can easily leak in through the doorways or wall junctions, so high upturns and proper flashing are non-negotiable.
- Above Other Living Spaces: If your balcony sits above an outdoor entertaining area or a room inside, proper drainage and waterproofing are essential to protect the space below.
- Drainage Points: Making sure the barrier wraps securely around all floor drains and overflow outlets so water flows away safely.
laundry Waterproofing
03.
To waterproof a laundry room effectively, you must create a “tanked” environment by applying a flexible membrane across the floor and 150mm up the walls. Use bond-breaker tape at all corners to handle building movement and washing machine vibrations without cracking the seal. Ensure the floor slopes at a 1:100 ratio toward the drain, and install a water-stop angle at the doorway to act as a dam, preventing overflow into the rest of the house. Finally, seal all pipe penetrations and apply the membrane in two thick coats before conducting a 24-hour flood test.
House Slab Waterproofing
04.
House slab waterproofing is centered on preventing ground moisture from wicking into the concrete through a continuous vapor barrier. A heavy-duty 200-micron plastic sheet is laid under the slab with all joints taped and overlapped to block rising damp. The exterior vertical edges are then coated with a bituminous membrane and supported by a perforated drainage pipe at the base to channel water away from the structure. This combination of a sealed underside and proper perimeter drainage keeps the foundation dry and protects your interior flooring from mold and moisture damage.
- Swellable Water-Stops: For all plumbing and utility penetrations that pass through the concrete, use "swellable" seals around the pipes. These are made of hydrophilic material that expands when it touches moisture, creating a high-pressure seal in the gap where water is most likely to seep in.
- Protection Boards: After applying the waterproof membrane to the vertical edges of the slab or retaining walls, install a protection board (or drainage cell). This prevents sharp rocks and debris from puncturing the membrane during the soil backfilling process, ensuring the barrier remains intact.
- Ground Grading and Swales: The final ground level around the slab should slope away from the house at a minimum of 5% grade (a 50mm drop over the first meter). This ensures that surface rainwater is directed away from the foundation quickly, reducing the hydrostatic pressure against your waterproofing system.
Roof Waterproofing
05.
A leaking roof doesn’t just cause damp patches; it threatens the structural integrity of your entire building. Our specialized roof waterproofing systems provide a seamless, durable shield against the harshest weather conditions.
- Multi-Layer Liquid Membranes: We apply high-performance, UV-stable polyurethane or acrylic membranes that create a monolithic (seamless) seal over your entire roof, ensuring no joints for water to penetrate.
- Ponding Water Correction: Standing water is the enemy of waterproofing. We ensure proper surface grading and "fall" so that rainwater is directed immediately toward drainage outlets.
- Reflective Heat Shielding: Our top-tier coatings often include solar-reflective properties, which not only waterproof your home but also reduce indoor temperatures by reflecting UV rays.
Pool waterproofing
06.
You should consider re-waterproofing your pool in the following situations:
During Renovations: When replacing the pool lining or tiles, applying a new waterproofing layer provides excellent long-term protection against leaks for the next 25 to 30 years.
- Extensive Structural Damage: When the pool surface has developed numerous cracks.
- Elevated Installations: When the pool is located directly above garages or storage areas, such as in many communal or multi-family complexes, to prevent property damage.
- Component Leakage: When water begins to leak around any of the plastic fittings or fixtures.
