Waterproofing the basements of sydney
Basement waterproofing is something we have mastered slowly over the years until it has become our specialty.
We are master basement waterproofers and experts at stopping dampness and running water.
Basements are especially hard to waterproof due to the fact that the substrate is not usually a new clean substrate and there are often a lot of contaminants which prevent the membranes from sticking properly.
Another big problem with basement waterproofing is salt. If there are high quantities of salt present in the substrate then it can cause the membrane to fail.
Even in relatively new basements you can encounter contaminants from the surrounding earth and a build-up of salts.

Specialist basement waterproofers!
Assessment: We assess each basement case by case. While there are commonalities between techniques for waterproofing a basement there are many variables to consider.
Preparation: The most important part of any basement waterproofing is preparation. Surface preparation insures that all the waterproofing products stick to the substrate as they are supposed to.
Product: We have tried them all and found the products which fail and the products that work. We know which products will dry quickly, dry under water and dry on wet substrates and sandstone.
Experience: A basement waterproofer’s results come down to experience. Knowing what to do in which order and what kind of products to use to get long lasting results.
Stopping water entering a basement is something that can only be learnt by waterproofing basements. There is no course or apprenticeship for how to waterproof a basement.
Basement waterproofing is no walk in the park and while bathroom waterproofing may be as easy as using a paint brush and a roller, basement waterproofing is about as hard as waterproofing gets.
The cost of basement waterproofing depends on the size of the basement, substrate material variables, contaminants in the substrate (like oils and grease), active water flow and area to be waterproofed.
If you would like an idea of the cost for your basement waterproofing then we should be able to give you some kind of rough idea over the phone. For an accurate price we would need to assess your basement.
