Frequently Asked Questions
How long does waterproofing last?
Most systems last 10 to 30 years, depending on the method (e.g., waterproofing membrane, spray, or tanking). We provide guarantees to match.
Can I waterproof from the inside?
Yes, we offer internal solutions like cavity drain membranes, liquid coatings, and waterproofing paint ideal for basements and bathrooms.
Is waterproofing messy or noisy?
Not usually. Internal waterproofing involves minimal disruption. External work may involve digging, but is well-managed and contained.
Does waterproofing stop condensation, too?
It helps prevent moisture ingress but doesn’t directly address internal condensation. We advise on ventilation and insulation to reduce both.
