Our Waterproofing Solutions

We offer several waterproofing solutions tailored to resolve specific issues affecting your premises.

Roof Waterproofing

Roof waterproofing can protect your premises from water seepage or damage caused by inclement weather, rooftop leaks, and other problems. It protects your property’s structural durability and safeguards the well-being of everyone within the premises.

Wall and Ceiling Waterproofing

While bathrooms are at higher risk due to moisture buildup from showers and drying wet clothes, water leaks and burst pipes can still cause water seepage into the walls and ceilings. Waterproofing solutions can prevent these issues and secure your property’s structural integrity.

Bathroom Waterproofing

As the most common area where water seepage can occur, bathroom waterproofing ensures moisture does not enter the walls, floors, or ceiling. You also prevent mould from growing in the bathroom while insulating the bathroom to keep the warmth in, saving on energy costs.

Balcony and Floor Waterproofing

An exposed balcony can easily pool water that gradually seeps into your property’s structure, causing complications like warped flooring (especially wooden flooring) and moisture buildup.

Basement Waterproofing

Properties with basements need to take extra precautions, as water seepage can also occur unexpectedly, causing significant mould growth and structural damage due to gradual moisture accumulation.

Water Seepage Detection and Repair

Are you worried about potential water seepage in your premises? We can inspect your property, identify signs of water seepage, and then make the necessary repairs to address the root cause and prevent recurrences promptly.

Signs You Need Waterproofing or Water Seepage Repair

There are always telltale signs that your property will require waterproofing or water seepage repair to prevent further complications.

  • Water stains: Parts of the floors, walls, or ceiling may appear moist or wet, and once they have dried, they leave dark, noticeable stains.
  • Peeling paint: Moisture buildup may cause paint to blister, bubble, and gradually peel away. This peeling is commonly seen in corners or on ceilings.
  • Corrosion: Rust and other forms of corrosion may indicate that moisture has come into contact with metal and may signify potential structural damage.
  • Pooling water: Whether due to an active leak or appearing out of nowhere, it may indicate seepage from the floor or some other source.
  • Musty odours: This smell may indicate that mould has taken root somewhere in your property.
  • Efflorescence: This powdery substance appears on masonry due to salt, moisture, and a path for the salts to travel towards the surface.
  • Spalling: Flakes of concrete or masonry can also indicate that water has reached the deeper layers of your premises’ structure.
  • Humidity levels: Abnormal humidity may mean hidden leaks or accumulated moisture in your property.

Our Process

Inspection

We will thoroughly inspect your premises and the surroundings to look for signs of water seepage and identify areas requiring waterproofing.

Initial Planning & Preparations

With the inspection complete, we will brief you on our findings and draft an action plan to perform the necessary repairs and waterproofing at the identified locations.

Water Seepage Repairs

We will perform various structural repairs based on the type of water seepage affecting a particular section. This may include installing braces or anchors to strengthen walls, repairing leaks, etc.

Waterproofing

After the repairs are completed, we will begin waterproofing measures to prevent recurrences of water seepage and shore up potentially vulnerable areas.

Final Checks

Once all the procedures are complete, we will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is in place and no faults or other concerns require immediate attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) covers any ceiling leaks or water seepage repairs for flats covered under the Defect Liability Period. If your flat has passed this period, contact your local town council immediately and provide any photographs and other details as evidence.

If water leaks are found in window frame cavities or older air-conditioning panels, the flat owner will need to bear the expense. Both homeowners should cover the repair costs for ceiling leaks affecting the upper and lower floor units.

The overall cost will depend on the nature of water seepage within your premises and the extent of necessary waterproofing. The price will account for initial inspections using specialised tools and the extent of repairs required to address the leakages. After our initial inspection, we will provide you with a detailed breakdown of expenses.

You can take small steps to prevent water seepage, but major leaks require a professional team to rectify the problem. Simple measures include installing downspouts to redirect rainwater away from your property and surroundings, and frequently cleaning the gutters and drain lines to prevent clogging.

Mould typically favours dark, damp, high-humidity areas with a source of nutrition. Since mould spores can be found almost anywhere, finding ideal conditions allows them to start growing and spreading. Therefore, it is vital to address moisture leaks and water seepage immediately.

We developed a unique method of concealed pipe repair that negates the need to hack down walls, allowing for faster repairs that typically take a day. To date, we have made numerous successful repairs using this technique. Contact us to find out more about our services.
