Expert Waterproofing Sydney

Professional Waterproofing Services Across Sydney

At Ace Tiling Sydney, we specialise in providing comprehensive waterproofing services throughout the Sydney metropolitan area, protecting residential and commercial properties from water damage with proven, Australian Standards-compliant systems. Our team of certified waterproofing specialists brings over 15 years of industry experience, ensuring superior protection and peace of mind for property owners across Sydney.

We understand that effective waterproofing is essential for protecting your property's structural integrity, preventing costly water damage, and maintaining healthy indoor environments. Our systematic approach to waterproofing combines premium materials, professional application techniques, and thorough testing procedures to deliver reliable, long-lasting protection for all types of applications.

Comprehensive Waterproofing Solutions

Our waterproofing services encompass all aspects of moisture protection, from internal wet areas to external applications and everything in between. For bathrooms and wet areas, we provide AS 3740-compliant waterproofing that meets all building code requirements, ensuring proper protection before tiling or other floor finishes are installed. Our shower waterproofing includes complete membrane application to walls and floors, with special attention to critical details like corners, penetrations, and junctions.

External waterproofing services include balcony and deck protection using weather-resistant membrane systems designed to withstand Sydney's climate conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal. For basement and below-ground applications, we offer comprehensive tanking solutions that protect against hydrostatic pressure and groundwater infiltration, creating dry, usable spaces in challenging environments.

We also specialise in remedial waterproofing for properties experiencing existing leak issues, providing expert diagnosis and effective repair solutions that address the root cause of moisture problems rather than just treating symptoms.

Waterproofing Systems and Materials

The selection of appropriate waterproofing systems is crucial for long-term success and protection. For internal wet areas, we primarily use liquid membrane systems that provide seamless protection with excellent adhesion to substrates and the ability to accommodate minor structural movement. These systems are ideal for shower recesses, bathroom floors, and other areas where tiles will be installed over the waterproofing.

For external applications such as balconies and terraces, we often recommend torch-on membrane systems that provide robust protection against weather exposure and structural movement. These fully-adhered systems create a durable barrier that can accommodate foot traffic and temperature variations while maintaining complete water resistance.

Basement and below-ground waterproofing typically requires specialised tanking systems that can withstand hydrostatic pressure from groundwater. We select the most appropriate system based on soil conditions, groundwater levels, and the intended use of the protected space, ensuring effective long-term protection in challenging environments.

The Importance of Certified Waterproofing

Professional waterproofing certification is not just a regulatory requirement but an essential protection for property owners. Certified waterproofing ensures that work has been completed by qualified professionals to Australian Standards, providing documentation that may be required for building compliance, council approvals, and insurance claims. Our certified waterproofers understand the critical importance of proper application techniques and quality control procedures.

Waterproofing certification also provides legal protection for property owners, demonstrating that appropriate professional services have been engaged for moisture protection. This documentation can be particularly important in strata situations, where waterproofing failures in one unit can affect neighbouring properties, and in commercial applications where building compliance is strictly regulated.

Beyond regulatory compliance, certified waterproofing provides peace of mind that your property protection has been designed and installed by qualified professionals who understand the complexities of moisture management and building performance.

Waterproofing Costs and Investment Value

The cost of professional waterproofing in Sydney varies based on factors including the area to be protected, complexity of the application, substrate conditions, and the waterproofing system selected. Internal wet area waterproofing typically ranges from $35-$80 per square metre, while external waterproofing costs may vary more widely based on access requirements and environmental challenges.

While waterproofing represents an upfront investment, it provides significant long-term value by preventing water damage that can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Water damage can affect flooring, wall structures, electrical systems, and adjacent areas, making the cost of remediation far exceed the cost of preventative waterproofing. Additionally, properly waterproofed areas maintain their value and functionality over time, contributing to overall property value.
