Waterproofing failures rarely fix themselves. By the time a leak is visible, water has usually been escaping for months, damaging substrates, framing and finishes. Remedial waterproofing tackles the cause and restores the building properly.
We specialise in remedial works for homeowners, strata schemes and commercial buildings — from a single leaking shower to building-wide balcony programs.
Signs you need waterproofing repairs & remediation
- A defect report or building inspection highlighting leaks
- Repeated leaks after previous "quick fixes"
- Visible damage to ceilings, walls or floors
- Mould growth linked to water ingress
- Insurance claims relating to water damage
- Strata committee planning capital works
How we approach remediation
Remedial waterproofing starts with understanding why the original system failed — poor falls, missing details, the wrong product, building movement or simple wear. Fixing the symptom without addressing the cause usually means the leak returns.
Remedial services
- Leak investigation and moisture mapping
- Scope-of-works and quotations for strata and insurers
- Strip-out of failed tiles, screeds and membranes
- Substrate and concrete repairs
- New membrane systems and detailing
- Reinstatement coordination with tilers and painters
Non-invasive options
Where the membrane is sound but grout, silicone or tile surfaces are letting water in, targeted treatments such as regrouting, resealing or clear penetrating sealers may be appropriate. We will only recommend them when they are genuinely suitable.
