Water damage is insidious. A small leak can lead to mould growth, damaged finishes and compromised structural integrity. In both homes and commercial buildings, proper waterproofing is the first line of defence against moisture intrusion.
Why DIY Isn’t Enough
Many waterproofing products at hardware stores promise quick fixes. However, applying them without proper surface preparation or knowledge of building science can lead to failure. Professional waterproofers understand how water travels, the right materials for each substrate and how to integrate waterproofing into the overall building envelope.
Key Areas to Protect
Critical zones include roofs, balconies, bathrooms, basements and foundations. Flat roofs are particularly prone to pooling water and require specialised membranes. Bathrooms need waterproofing behind tiles to prevent moisture from penetrating walls. Foundations and basements benefit from exterior waterproofing and proper drainage to prevent seepage.
