Waterproofing Melbourne

Before we start any works, our team will provide a comprehensive inspection of the areas that need to be treated. Firstly we will ensure the area is suitable to receive a membrane. We will ensure the areas are dust free, crack free and do not have any moisture within the substrate.

Weather also plays a big part in when we apply a membrane, should the weather not be right, we will cancel and rebook.

Our process begins with a thorough inspection and site assessment. We identify areas vulnerable to water ingress, assess any existing waterproofing layers and develop a tailored waterproofing strategy suited to the structure and its conditions. Depending on our findings, this may include new membrane applications, repairs to existing membranes or full replacement of the old system. Once the client gives their approval, our skilled team applies the recommended method, using AWS will be a beneficial and wise investment in your structure in order to ensure the longevity of the solution provided. 

We take the time to ensure you are not only comfortable but understand why we are proposing a certain product and methodology, its important that we work with our clients and hear what you have to say as the information you provide is vital to our decisions and what we will recommend.

There are certain visual signs that can be seen when a property is in dire need of waterproofing. These visual signs include but are not limited to: visible leakage, discolouration in walls, floors or ceilings, mould or peeling paint. 

At AWS, we can perform a leak detection and moisture assessment of your property. This will allow us to show you where the problem is occurring and inform you of how best to take care of the problem.

Older structures often require a more delicate touch when performing works at these buildings due to them becoming more fragile over time. AWS has had extensive experience working in Heritage & older buildings right across this country, understanding past process’s and building techniques enables us to better evaluate and provide advise as to how you can protect your building.

AWS employs a diverse range of advanced waterproofing technologies, including:

• • Liquid-applied membranes for seamless and flexible coverage
    
  • Sheet membranes for heavy-duty applications
    
  • Hybrid systems that merge different membrane benefits
    
  • Injection systems for targeted crack and cavity repair
  • Polyurea & Hybrid systems for extreme conditions and car traffic
    

Each system is chosen based on project requirements, ensuring optimal protection, durability and value for every client.

The most vulnerable areas include roofs, balconies, basements, retaining walls, and wet zones such as bathrooms or plant rooms.
At AWS, we apply tailored waterproofing solutions to address each area’s unique challenges. For example, we use sheet systems for roof protection, membrane and drainage combinations 

Properties should undergo regular maintenance to ensure the waterproofing systems in place are still effective and do not need any amendments, if there is issues in your building and they are left unchecked it could cause a snowball effect and minor issues could become major issues. For example, unchecked moisture damage can spread throughout a building and weaken the structural integrity of your building.

Because experience matters, waterproofing is not something that can be left to chance, as a building component it is one of the cheapest aspects of a build but one of the most expensive when it fails. AWS trains all its technicians and staff in the latest technologies and products.

We don’t leave anything to chance and ensure we provide you with a service that you will recommend to your friends and work collegues.

Let us use our experience and skillset to help you make the best possible decision when it comes to the waterproofing systems for your building.
