Our Featured Projects
1 Collins street
During inspection, we identified inconsistent waterproofing across both the upper and lower roof levels, which had resulted in water ingress. On the upper roof, the existing top slab was removed and prepared for the application of SikaShield Primer, Membrane, and Finish. On the lower roof, we prepared the surface, primed it, and applied sealant to all movement joints and wall-to-floor junctions. Additional waterproofing and Aluminium Oxide were installed to create a durable, non-slip coating that resolved the client’s concerns.
FAQ
What are the signs that my commercial building needs waterproofing?
Signs that a commercial building may require waterproofing include visible water stains on walls or ceilings, mould or mildew growth, peeling paint, blistering or bubbling of surfaces, and a noticeable musty odour. Other indicators can be leaks during heavy rainfall, standing water or puddles near the foundation, and increased humidity inside the building. Structural damage, such as cracks in walls, floors, or foundations, can also suggest a need for waterproofing to prevent further deterioration.
What types of waterproofing systems are available for commercial properties?
There are several waterproofing systems available for commercial properties, including:
Liquid Membrane Coatings: These are applied directly to surfaces as a liquid that forms a protective barrier. They are commonly used on roofs, balconies, and decks.
Sheet Membranes: Typically made of rubber or thermoplastic materials, sheet membranes are applied to areas like foundations and flat roofs for robust water resistance.
Cementitious Waterproofing: This involves using a cement-based mixture to create a waterproof barrier. It is often used in basements and areas that require robust protection against moisture.
Bituminous Coating: A common method for waterproofing roofs and basements, this method involves applying a bitumen-based coating that provides a durable and flexible barrier against water.
Polyurethane Liquid Membrane: This is a more advanced form of waterproofing, ideal for areas exposed to the elements. It is often used for roofs and other external areas due to its high flexibility and resistance to harsh weather conditions.
How much does commercial waterproofing cost?
The cost of commercial waterproofing varies widely depending on the type of waterproofing system used, the size and condition of the building, and local market rates. Generally, waterproofing a commercial roof can range from AUD __ to AUD __ per square metre. For more extensive foundation waterproofing or structural waterproofing projects, costs can be significantly higher, ranging from AUD __ to AUD __ per square metre or more. It is advisable to obtain detailed quotes from specialised contractors to get an accurate estimate.
How often should commercial buildings be waterproofed?
The frequency of waterproofing for commercial buildings depends on the type of waterproofing system used and the environmental conditions to which the building is exposed. Typically, waterproofing membranes and coatings should be inspected annually and reapplied or repaired every 5 to 10 years. High-traffic areas or those exposed to harsh weather conditions may require more frequent inspections and maintenance. Regular inspections help identify potential issues early and prolong the lifespan of the waterproofing system.
