Excess moisture in bathroom tiles results in remedial waterproofing and repair

Why use professional waterproofing contractors

According to the Australian Master Tilers Association, defective waterproofing is a major building defect in Australia. It is actually listed as one of 3 worse building defects that can happen, with water leaks often causing the same structural damage to a property as would termites. Generally, waterproofing problems are caused by poor workmanship from waterproofing contractors. Leaks in bathrooms are unimaginably common especially after a bathroom renovation while balcony tiles can undergo serious damage after heavy rainfall.

We deal with leak repairs on a daily basis and always follow the Building code of Australia applying the Australian standards in our work. All our jobs are given the same high quality project management. If you need to waterproof a bathroom or fix a leaking balcony, then go with a waterproofing expert for peace of mind.

Within the waterproofing industry, the most common problems associated with strata buildings is internal leaks and water penetration causing cracking to both internal and external structures. Frequently this means that leaking balconies, showers and basements are prime areas of concern when it comes to waterproofing problems. The reasons for this are varied but primarily are caused by ineffective building designs caused by commercial pressures from architects, builders, concrete and waterproofing contractors. This is why we often hear of problems associated with new high rise buildings that have been developed throughout Sydney. 

If water leaks are not quickly addressed either in balconies, showers, roofs, laundry or basements, there is a strong likelihood of very expensive remedial waterproofing and even potential re-builds that need to be done.  Using waterproofing contractors to address wet area waterproofing issues will result in protecting your carpets, walls and timber floors as well as preventing structural damage on your external concrete slabs and tiles.

When it comes to balcony waterproofing, the most common problems we see are problems with the joints leading to tiles dislocating and tearing the waterproofing membranes. To rectify something like this could cost up to $20,000 which is why it pays to get proper waterproofing contractors to do a visual test if there are concerns. 

Similarly, a study showed that almost 50% of bathroom areas from strata developments were non compliant in terms of leaking. This unfortunately means that additional bathroom waterproofing should be considered particularly if you seen signs of adjacent leaking from shower areas before the expense of re grouting and re tiling occurs.
