Waterproofing for Decks, Internal Gutters, Podiums, Roofs and Sills

Waterproofing is an essential part of the building process. When water gets into a building it can cause major structural problems. By the time you see water damage inside your building, it has often already caused problems where you can’t see them.

When choosing a membrane, factors to consider are:

• The surface material that needs waterproofing, i.e., wood, concrete, etc…,
• What the area to be waterproofed is used for, i.e. is it a trafficable area
• Will another covering be going over the waterproof membrane, such as tiles or wood for a deck
• The size and location of the area
• Whether there are habitable areas below
• What sort of look you want or will you not see it
• Cost of waterproofing

If your architect has not specified a membrane then NECTAR can advise you on the right waterproofing membrane for your job, whether it be for a new build, renovation or remedial work. If necessary, often with a Council consented job, a specification is required. We can work with waterproofing membrane suppliers who can provide you with the written specification.
