Expert Waterproofing for Hornsby Homes & Businesses

Want a reliable waterproofing company in Hornsby? AB Sydney Waterproofing delivers licensed waterproofing in Hornsby for every part of your property, from wet areas inside to balconies, roofs and below-ground walls outside. We inspect first, explain what’s failing and fix it properly.

Properties across Hornsby and the wider upper North Shore range from apartment towers and shops near the station to family homes on sloping blocks. Each brings its own waterproofing challenges – older wet areas built before modern membranes were required, outdoor areas exposed to sun and storms, and below-ground walls that hold back wet soil.

We waterproof internal wet areas to AS 3740 and external areas to AS 4654, prepare every surface properly before the membrane goes on, and finish with a compliance certificate where required. That’s how we can back our work with a written 7-year warranty.

Hornsby Waterproofing Services

Hornsby Waterproofing – From Wet Areas to Rooftops

Every waterproofing service is available in Hornsby. Balcony, Basement, Bathroom and Rooftop waterproofing get our closest attention, because they’re the jobs Hornsby property owners call us for most.

Balcony waterproofing membrane applied before new tiles Balconies

Balcony, Terrace & Courtyard Waterproofing

Balconies fail at the door sill, the drain and the balustrade fixings. Once water gets past the membrane it stains the ceiling below, lifts tiles and leaves white efflorescence on the soffit. We strip and re-waterproof balconies in Hornsby with UV-stable external membranes to AS 4654.

  • Strata and owners’ corporation repairs
  • Balustrade fixing and edge sealing
  • Re-tiling after waterproofing

Below-ground wall waterproofing before backfill Retaining walls

Basement, Dincel & Retaining Wall Waterproofing

Water pressure behind a wall never stops, so below-ground waterproofing has to be continuous – walls, slab and the joint between them. We seal construction joints and penetrations, then apply a membrane designed for constant moisture.

  • Dincel, block and retaining walls
  • Basement slab and joint repairs
  • Lift pit waterproofing

Hornsby Bathroom Waterproofing

Whether you’re renovating or chasing a leak, the membrane under the tiles is what keeps water where it belongs. We install certified wet-area membranes with bond-breakers, reinforced corners and properly sealed penetrations, then issue a compliance certificate for your records.

  • Shower recesses, en-suites and full bathrooms
  • Membrane to AS 3740 with compliance certificate
  • Tile injection when tiles are sound

Rooftop & Flat Roof Waterproofing Hornsby

Roof leaks rarely come from the middle of the roof – they start at upstands, outlets, penetrations and junctions with walls. We detail every one of these properly, then apply a roof membrane that can handle Sydney’s heat, UV and heavy downpours.

  • Flat concrete roofs and roof decks
  • Box gutter and outlet sealing
  • UV and ponding-resistant membranes

More Waterproofing Services in Hornsby

  • Box Gutter Waterproofing

    Long box gutters overflow inside when their lining fails. We seal gutters and outlets to keep water on the outside.

  • Lift Shaft Waterproofing

    Positive and negative-side membranes for lift pits that sit below the water table, on new builds or as a remedial fix.

  • Laundry Waterproofing

    A properly sealed laundry floor and upturn protects floors, walls and neighbouring rooms from washing machine and tub leaks.

  • Floor Waterproofing

    Remedial floor membranes for wet areas, ground-floor slabs and commercial floors, matched to the substrate so water can't move through.

  • Tile Injection Waterproofing

    Epoxy resin injected under existing tiles seals a leaking shower without demolition – a faster, lower-cost fix when the tiles are still sound.

  • Planter Box Waterproofing

    Planters and garden beds against walls or over slabs waterproofed and drained so roots and water stay where they belong.

  • Brick Wall Waterproofing

    Brick walls, parapets and chimneys sealed against rising and penetrating damp to stop salt damage, flaking render and mould inside.

  • Swimming Pool Waterproofing

    Membranes for concrete pools and spas, applied before tiling on new pools or as a remedial fix for a pool that's losing water.

  • Water Leak Detection

    Not sure where the water is coming from? We trace leaks through slabs, walls, showers and balconies before any work is quoted.

Know the Warning Signs

Signs Your Hornsby Property Needs Waterproofing

These are the early warning signs that waterproofing has failed. Catch them early and the repair is usually smaller.

  • Stains on the ceiling below

    A bathroom, balcony or roof above is leaking through the slab.

  • White salt on brick or concrete

    Efflorescence means water is moving through the masonry.

  • Water in the basement or garage

    Groundwater is getting past below-ground walls or joints.

  • Wet patches below retaining walls

    Water is passing through the wall instead of draining behind it.

  • Loose, drummy or cracked tiles

    The bond has failed because the bed underneath is wet.

  • Mould, musty smells or black grout

    Water is sitting behind tiles or inside the wall cavity.
