A mix of post-war homes, newer townhouses and a wall of inner-east units, a lot of it close enough to the river and the bay that balconies and decks earn a membrane rated for the exposure.

The Murarrie job we know best

Murarrie is home. The yard, the office and most of the crew live within a five-minute drive of the river-flat backstreets between Lytton Road and the Gateway, so a Murarrie call almost always means a same-day callback and a waterproofer who already knows your street’s housing stock by heart.

What we see most on this block is the bathroom and laundry in a post-war timber house being brought up to AS 3740 in a renovation, and the balconies on the newer townhouses and unit blocks along Creek Road and Manilla Street needing a real fall to drain and a membrane rated for the bayside exposure. Both jobs are quietly easy to do badly. A single coat over the cove, no bond breaker, no flood test, and the timber subfloor below carries the cost two summers later.

Where waterproofing fails on a Murarrie street

  • Post-war bathroom timbers. The old timber substructure under a Murarrie bathroom needs the substrate primed and the upturns taken to height, because the floor itself moves. A direct-stick membrane over an unprimed board fails at the corners first.
  • Townhouse balcony decks over a garage or a kitchen. Common from Manilla Street back to the Wynnum Road corridor: a tiled balcony over a habitable room, where the only thing between a bedroom ceiling and the storm is the membrane and the fall to drain. The body corporate paperwork has to be right too.
  • The bayside-edge weather. Murarrie sits a couple of suburbs from the bay, and the salt-laden easterlies after a Brisbane summer storm find any weakness in an exposed balcony membrane. We spec liquid-applied for that exposure, with the upturns and the drainage detailed before the membrane goes down.

Why locals here call us first

No travel surcharge inside the 30km no-surcharge radius. A photo-on-the-quote site inspection within 48 hours. The AS 3740 or AS 4654 compliance certificate handed over for your builder and your insurer, and the membrane warranted for ten years in writing. We have been the waterproofers for Murarrie since 2010.

Reviews

What Brisbane owners say.

★★★★★
“Three quotes, and Sealline was the only one that traced where the water was actually coming from before quoting. The stain was nowhere near the leak. They stripped the ensuite, re-membraned it to AS 3740, flood-tested it and gave us the certificate. Dry for a year now.”

“Our balcony was bubbling and the ceiling below was staining. Priya found the falls were running back toward the house. They corrected the fall, re-membraned to AS 4654 and detailed the drain properly. The number on the quote was named by the square metre, no vague lump sum.”

Local questions

Waterproofing in Murarrie, answered.

Do you charge extra to come to Murarrie?
No. Murarrie is within 30km of our Murarrie base, so there is no travel surcharge. The site inspection and the by-the-m² quote are the same whether you are around the corner or at the edge of the radius.
How soon can you look at my leak in Murarrie?
We aim to be on site for an inspection within 48 hours, faster for an active leak, and to have the written quote back to you within one business day of inspecting. The job itself depends on the membrane system, the drying and curing times, and any strip-out, and we give you a realistic window on the quote. A wet area is usually a one to three day job once we start, and curing between coats sets the pace, not us.
Will the membrane actually hold around Murarrie?
Only if it is built to the Standard, which is exactly what we do. We check the substrate and the falls on the inspection, prep and prime, detail the bond breakers and the upturns, apply the coats AS 3740 or AS 4654 asks for, then flood-test before anything goes on top. A single-coat surface seal leaks again within a couple of summers, so the membrane workmanship is the part our 10-year warranty covers.
Can you work with our body corporate or strata in Murarrie?
Yes. We do a lot of podium decks, planters and balcony remediation on body-corporate and strata buildings, where a committee or a building manager has to sign off the system, the staging and the cost. We give you a clear itemised quote you can put in front of the committee, name the work to AS 4654, coordinate access around residents, and hand over the compliance certificate, so the approval and the sign-off are the easy part.
