Have you ever experienced shower leaks or water damage on your balcony?

If so, there’s a good chance the waterproofing wasn’t completed to a meticulous standard. Unfortunately, water damage caused by inadequate waterproofing is a common theme in both new and older homes Australia wide.

At Antidamp WA, we believe quality waterproofing is one of the most important and underrated aspects to any build – be it residential, commercial or industrial. If you want to save yourself time, money and stress, ensuring your wet areas are professionally waterproofed is the only way to safeguard your property from insidious water damage later down the track.

So, what is waterproofing & how does it work?

Waterproofing is a professional grade sealant, membrane and special coating that is applied to wet areas in a building. When correctly installed, waterproofing prevents damage before it occurs by stopping water and moisture from entering the structural areas of the building. It is a highly pliable, soft and resilient solution, making it a very easy application to use (even in the tightest and smallest of areas).

The aim of waterproofing lies in it’s strong ability to correct structural deficiencies, sealing off potential cracks that may be causing water leaks as well as repairing poor exterior drainage around your property.
To prevent water from re-entering your premises, it’s imperative to ensure the waterproofing is finished to a superior standard and is completed by qualified industry experts with a wealth of knowledge and expertise.

At Antidamp WA, we offer competitive rates and use only the highest quality products and procedures. We pride ourselves on providing leading waterproofing solutions, no matter how big or small the project.

What are some of the risks that come with not waterproofing?

If you’re building a new home or renovating an existing bathroom/laundry, you need to understand the cost of not waterproofing these common wet areas. Water damage is very unforgiving - once it penetrates into a crack or crevice, it can cause a myriad of problems to your health, safety and even your bank account.

Some of the most common issues we see include mould build up, corrosion, putrid smells, paint cracks, peeling paint, rust and even pest infestations.
