Expert Waterproofing for Leichhardt Homes & Businesses

Searching for experienced waterproofers in Leichhardt? We specialise in waterproofing services in Leichhardt for homeowners, landlords, builders and strata managers. From bathroom leaks to brick wall and balcony repairs, our licensed team gets it right the first time – free inspection, written quote, 7-year warranty.

Properties across Leichhardt and the wider inner west range from terraces and Federation homes to apartment 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.

Our process is simple: a free inspection, a clear written quote, proper surface preparation, the right membrane applied at full thickness, and testing and certification at the end. No shortcuts, and no paying twice for the same leak.

Shower Leak Repairs & Bathroom Waterproofing

Showers leak when the membrane is cracked, missing at the hob or wall junction, or wasn’t sealed around the floor waste. In Leichhardt we test, trace and repair the actual failure point – then re-waterproof to AS 3740 so the repair lasts as long as the tiles.

  • Leak repairs before you renovate or sell
  • Floor wastes, corners and junctions sealed
  • Certified membranes for renovations

Brick wall treated and sealed against damp Brickwork

Rising & Penetrating Damp Treatment

Solid brick walls can draw moisture up from the ground or let rain through, causing flaking paint, salt deposits and musty rooms. We treat and seal brick walls, parapets and chimneys in Leichhardt so moisture stays out of the masonry.

  • Rising and penetrating damp
  • Parapets, chimneys and external walls
  • Salt and efflorescence problems

Balcony Leak Repairs Leichhardt

A balcony over a living room or garage needs a membrane that handles full sun, heavy rain and movement. We prepare the slab properly, correct falls where needed, and detail every edge, outlet and threshold so water drains away instead of finding its way inside.

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

Laundry Floor Waterproofing

Most laundry leaks come from the junction between floor and wall, where water from machines and tubs sits and soaks in. We waterproof the floor and turn the membrane up the walls so water stays contained.

  • Membrane to AS 3740
  • Ideal during renovations
  • Stand-alone leak repairs

Know the Warning Signs

Warning Signs of Water Damage in Leichhardt

Spotted any of these at your Leichhardt home, unit or business? Call us before a small leak becomes a big repair.

  • 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.

  • Damp, peeling paint low on walls

    Rising or penetrating damp is getting into the masonry.

  • White salt on brick or concrete

    Efflorescence means water is moving through the masonry.

  • Stains on the ceiling below

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

  • Swollen skirting or door frames

    Water is wicking out of a wet area into the timber next to it.
