Frequently Asked Questions
What areas of a property need waterproofing most?
The most common areas include showers, bathrooms, balconies, rooftops and basements. These spaces are particularly vulnerable to leaks because they are exposed to regular water use or weather conditions. Cracked grout, faulty seals or poor drainage can allow moisture to penetrate surfaces, leading to long-term damage. Waterproofing these areas prevents seepage and reduces the risk of costly repairs. Each location requires specific materials and methods, which is why professional assessment and application are essential.
How long does waterproofing last?
The lifespan of waterproofing depends on the materials used, the quality of application and ongoing maintenance. Generally, professional waterproofing can last 10–15 years or more. However, areas with heavy use, harsh weather or shifting structures may need earlier attention. Regular inspections help identify signs of wear, such as peeling, cracking or leaks. Reapplying waterproofing when necessary ensures consistent protection. Professional services provide guidance on expected lifespan and best maintenance practices for long-term results.
Can waterproofing fix existing leaks?
In many cases, yes. Waterproofing can be applied to repair problem areas such as leaking showers, cracked grout or balcony seepage. The process involves sealing affected areas, replacing damaged materials and applying protective coatings. However, if water damage has already caused structural issues, additional repairs may be required before waterproofing can be applied. Professional services start with an assessment to determine the extent of the problem and the best approach to fix it permanently.
Leak Prevention
Shower Sealing
Showers are one of the most common sources of water leaks in a property. Over time, seals, grout and tiles can deteriorate, allowing water to seep into walls and floors. Shower sealing stops this by applying specialised waterproofing membranes and resealing joints. A properly sealed shower prevents mould growth, protects structural elements and reduces the risk of expensive repairs. Professional sealing ensures every corner and junction is covered, giving complete protection. Regular maintenance and sealing extend the life of bathroom surfaces and keep the space safe, clean and hygienic.
Strong Seals
Caulking
Caulking fills gaps and joints around fixtures, windows, doors and wet areas to prevent water ingress. Over time, old caulk can shrink, crack or peel, leaving vulnerable points exposed. Reapplying caulk with professional-grade materials restores tight seals and improves both function and appearance. It also reduces drafts, pests and energy loss. In wet areas, caulking plays a vital role in keeping moisture contained and protecting surrounding surfaces. Professional application ensures neat, durable finishes that bond correctly and stand up to everyday use, creating lasting protection against water damage.
Hidden Risks
Grout Seepage
Grout may look solid, but over time it can become porous and allow water to seep through tiles. This hidden problem often leads to mould growth, staining and structural issues beneath the surface. Treating grout seepage involves cleaning, sealing and sometimes replacing damaged sections. Professional waterproofing adds an extra layer of defence, ensuring water stays on the surface where it can be drained away. Regular grout maintenance is essential for bathrooms, kitchens and tiled outdoor areas. Addressing seepage early protects against long-term damage and maintains the appearance of tiled surfaces.
Outdoor Protection
Balcony Waterproofing
Balconies are constantly exposed to rain, sun and temperature changes, making them vulnerable to water leaks. Without proper waterproofing, water can penetrate the concrete or tile layers, causing cracks, corrosion and structural damage. Balcony waterproofing involves applying durable membranes and sealants that block water while allowing the surface to handle movement and expansion. This not only prevents leaks but also improves the safety and longevity of the balcony. Professional waterproofing ensures the right materials are used for outdoor conditions, giving property owners confidence their space will stay secure and weather-resistant for years.
