Before you choose
Waterproofing is hidden once tiles go down, so the decisions you make before work starts matter most. These are the reasons homeowners use these guides first.
Guidance by job type
Bathrooms, showers, leaking shower repairs, balconies, laundries, regrouting and remedial work each have their own page, so you read about the problem you actually have.
Standards explained plainly
AS 3740 and the National Construction Code set out how home wet areas are waterproofed. The guides turn that into plain questions you can put to any contractor.
A quote checklist
Compare quotes on what they cover: preparation, membrane system, wall and floor heights, flood testing and cure time, not just the final number.
Help when the cause is unclear
Not sure why water is getting through? Signs such as damp skirting, loose grout or ceiling stains point to different causes, and knowing them helps you describe the problem.
Licence and insurance first
Get your waterproofing done by licensed and insured local contractors, and learn how to check those details yourself before signing anything.
Suburbs across Perth
From Scarborough and Cottesloe on the coast to Midland, Armadale, Canning Vale and Baldivis, the guidance reflects local conditions such as salt air on exposed balconies.
Waterproofing help for Perth homes
Waterproofing in Perth usually comes up at one of three moments: a shower starts leaking into the next room, a bathroom renovation reaches the stage where the membrane goes down, or a balcony over a living area begins to stain the ceiling below.
Each of those needs a different approach. A leak needs its cause found before anyone quotes a fix. A renovation needs the right zones sealed, enough cure time and a flood test before tiles go on. A balcony needs falls to the drain and a membrane that copes with sun and coastal air.
How it works
From enquiry to finished job
Name the area
Say which part of the home is involved: a shower, a full bathroom, a laundry, a toilet or a balcony.
Describe the problem or project
Explain what you have noticed, such as damp walls, stained ceilings or loose grout, or the renovation stage you have reached. Photos taken now are handy to have later.
Add your suburb and send
Include your suburb and contact details in the form, then send it. It takes a couple of minutes.
Talk through the job
A licensed and insured local contractor can follow up to discuss the work, inspect if needed and give you a written scope to compare against the checklist.
