Waterproofing in New Farm

New Farm is apartments, terraces and podium decks. The brief here is often a leaking podium or a balcony on a body-corporate building, so the access, the staging and the certificate matter as much as the membrane.

Above-ground balconies and decks waterproofed to AS 4654, with the fall to drain and the upturns detailed right so water leaves instead of pooling.

Basement & Retaining Wall Tanking

Below-ground tanking for basements and retaining walls, built to hold back negative water pressure instead of just painting over the damp.

Remedial Leak Repair

Leak diagnosed first, then a shower re-seal or membrane make-good, so we fix the cause once rather than seal over it and watch it leak again.

Planter Box & Water Feature Waterproofing

Reviews

What New Farm owners say.

★★★★★

“We are a body corporate with a leaking podium deck over the car park. They scoped it, staged the work around residents, and re-membraned the buried sections to AS 4654. The certificate and the warranty went straight into our building file.”

Local questions

Waterproofing in New Farm, answered.

Do you charge extra to come to New Farm?

No. New Farm 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 New Farm?

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 New Farm?

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 New Farm?

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.
