Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is waterproofing, and why is it necessary?
Waterproofing involves protecting structures from water infiltration, which can lead to damage, mould growth, and structural weaknesses. It is necessary to maintain the longevity and safety of buildings, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall or flooding.

2. What areas of a property are typically waterproofed?
Common areas include basements, roofs, walls, balconies, and bathrooms. These spaces are often exposed to water or moisture, making them susceptible to leaks and deterioration if not adequately protected.

3. What are the most common waterproofing methods?
Popular methods include liquid membrane application, bituminous coatings, polyurethane sealants, and cementitious coatings. The choice of method depends on the surface and extent of protection required.

4. How long does waterproofing last?
The lifespan of waterproofing varies depending on the materials used and the quality of installation. Generally, it can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years, with regular maintenance extending its durability.

5. Can waterproofing be added to an existing structure?
Yes, waterproofing can be applied to existing buildings. Retrofitting solutions are available for structures experiencing water issues, helping prevent further damage and enhancing their lifespan.

6. Are there eco-friendly waterproofing options available?
Yes, there are environmentally friendly waterproofing products made from non-toxic materials. These are designed to minimise harm to the environment while providing effective protection against water damage.

7. How much does waterproofing typically cost?
The cost varies depending on the area being treated, the materials used, and the complexity of the job. Obtaining multiple quotes and comparing options can help determine a reasonable budget for the project.

8. How can I tell if my property needs waterproofing?
Signs include water stains, peeling paint, mould growth, or a musty smell in certain areas. Persistent dampness or visible leaks also indicate that waterproofing is required.

9. Can I do waterproofing on my own, or do I need a professional?
While minor repairs can be managed independently, professional services are recommended for extensive waterproofing to ensure proper application and lasting results.

10. What maintenance is required after waterproofing?
Maintenance typically involves periodic inspections for cracks or damage, cleaning the surfaces to prevent clogging, and reapplying protective coatings as needed to maintain effectiveness.
