Waterproofing. A strategic approachWhen we have a water seepage or leakage problem a strategic approach to waterproofing is needed. If the problem is fixed in one place the water will go somewhere else unless we consider this from the beginning. This is a key strength of Welcome Home Maintenance .
Government regulationsBecause of the large number of failures in water leakage situations the government, in the mid 90s, passed the waterproofing standard 3740. This demonstrates the importance our government places on the process of professional waterproofing.
If you have waterproofing requirements our team are the experts .
Waterproofing membranes
A key element of professional waterproofing
is the selection and application of the correct membrane for the job. Waterproof membranes are mandatory for all internal and external wet areas including:
- showers
- bathrooms
- spas
- ensuites
- kitchens behind sinks
- exposed balconies
- concrete formed swimming pools
- concrete formed fish ponds
- garden fountains
- high rise roof top living areas
- garden boxes / planter boxes.

A concrete swimming pool is built. We fill it with water.
