Ashbury NSW 2193
Looking for waterproofing in Ashbury? We are experts in providing reliable waterproofing services in Ashbury for family homes, renovations and small unit blocks. As licensed Ashbury waterproofers, we fix leaking bathrooms, laundries and damp brickwork using membranes suited to older homes – with a free inspection and a written 7-year warranty.
Ashbury is one of the inner west’s best-preserved residential suburbs, with much of it inside a heritage conservation area. Streets of Federation cottages and inter-war Californian bungalows sit on solid brick foundations, many with original bathrooms and laundries tucked into rear extensions added decades ago.
These homes weren’t built with modern wet-area membranes, and their brick walls can draw moisture up from the ground. When owners renovate, the waterproofing needs to be done properly the first time. We look at how each house was built and choose a system that protects the original structure as well as the new tiles.
Every waterproofing service is available in Ashbury. We give the most attention to bathrooms, laundries and damp brick walls – the areas where the suburb’s older homes are most likely to let water in.
Renovations
Ashbury renovations often uncover bathrooms with no membrane at all, or one that has failed after decades of use. We waterproof new bathrooms to AS 3740 and repair leaking showers before water rots the timber floor and joists underneath.
Heritage brick
Federation and inter-war brick homes can suffer from rising and penetrating damp, which shows as flaking paint, salt deposits and musty rooms. We treat and seal brick walls, parapets and chimneys so moisture stays out of the masonry.
Rear extensions
Laundries in Ashbury are often squeezed into older rear additions with timber or uneven slab floors. We waterproof the floor, tub area and wall junctions so a leaking machine or overflowing tub doesn’t damage the rest of the house.
Verandahs & decks
Tiled front verandahs, rear decks and courtyard terraces over rooms or garages need an external membrane that handles sun and storms. We re-waterproof them so water drains away instead of seeping into walls and ceilings.
Concrete roofs, roof gardens and trafficable decks protected with membranes designed for full sun, heat and heavy rain.
Dincel, block and retaining walls, basement slabs and car parks protected against groundwater and soil moisture.
Long box gutters overflow inside when their lining fails. We seal gutters and outlets to keep water on the outside.
Lift pits waterproofed to stop seepage, standing water and corrosion that can damage lift equipment and trigger costly call-outs.
Remedial floor membranes for wet areas, ground-floor slabs and commercial floors, matched to the substrate so water can't move through.
Tile injection stops many shower leaks without ripping out the bathroom, so you avoid weeks of renovation.
Planters and garden beds against walls or over slabs waterproofed and drained so roots and water stay where they belong.
Membranes for concrete pools and spas, applied before tiling on new pools or as a remedial fix for a pool that's losing water.
Our inspection finds the real source of a leak first, so you only pay to fix what's actually failing.
We hold Waterproofing Licence 36763C and put our name to every membrane we install – no unlicensed subcontractors.
We follow AS 3740 inside and AS 4654 outside, and hand over the paperwork your certifier, insurer or buyer will ask for.
From a single bathroom to a full apartment block or commercial roof, we plan work around residents, tenants and business hours.
