Licensed Waterproofers Servicing Newtown & Surrounds

Need dependable waterproofing in Newtown? Our licensed team provides expert Newtown waterproofing for houses, apartments, townhouses and commercial buildings. We repair leaking bathrooms, brick walls, balconys and more using proven membrane systems, with every job backed by a written 7-year warranty.

Homes and buildings in Newtown – terraces and shop-top flats to apartment blocks – all rely on waterproofing that’s hidden under tiles, screeds and coatings. When it fails, the first sign is usually a stain, a musty smell or a loose tile, and by then water has often been escaping for months.

Because we hold Waterproofing Licence 36763C and certify our work to Australian Standards, our waterproofing is recognised by insurers, certifiers and strata committees – and it’s covered by a written 7-year warranty.

Newtown Waterproofing Services

What We Waterproof in Newtown

From inside the bathroom to the roof and below ground, we waterproof it all in Newtown. These four services are the ones we’re asked for most often.

Shower recess and bathroom floor waterproofed before tiling Bathrooms

Newtown Bathroom Waterproofing

A failed shower membrane lets water into the floor, wall frames and the room or unit below – often for months before you see a stain. We repair leaking showers and waterproof new and renovated bathrooms in Newtown to AS 3740, sealing floor wastes, corners and wall junctions properly.

  • Shower recesses, en-suites and full bathrooms
  • Membrane to AS 3740 with compliance certificate
  • Tile injection when tiles are sound
Bathroom waterproofing
Brick wall treated and sealed against damp Damp walls

Rising & Penetrating Damp Treatment

Salt marks, blistering render and mould low on internal walls all point to water moving through the masonry. We seal external walls and parapets and treat rising damp to stop the problem coming back.

  • Rising and penetrating damp
  • Parapets, chimneys and external walls
  • Salt and efflorescence problems
Brick wall waterproofing
Balcony waterproofing membrane applied before new tiles Balconies

Balcony Leak Repairs Newtown

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 Newtown with UV-stable external membranes to AS 4654.

  • Strata and owners’ corporation repairs
  • Balustrade fixing and edge sealing
  • Re-tiling after waterproofing
Balcony waterproofing
Flat concrete roof waterproofed with a liquid membrane Roofs & decks

Roof Deck Waterproofing

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
Rooftop waterproofing

  • Basement & Dincel Wall Waterproofing

    Dincel, block and retaining walls, basement slabs and car parks protected against groundwater and soil moisture.

  • Box Gutter Waterproofing

  • 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

    Concrete and screed floors waterproofed for wet areas, ground floors and commercial spaces where water must stay out of the slab.

  • Tile Injection Waterproofing

    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.

    Pool and spa waterproofing that stops water escaping into the surrounding ground, paving and structure.

    Our inspection finds the real source of a leak first, so you only pay to fix what's actually failing.

Know the Warning Signs

Common Leak Signs We See in Newtown

Spotted any of these at your Newtown 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.

  • Overflowing gutters in storms

    Box gutters or roof outlets can’t cope and spill inside.
