Balcony leaks are the number-one waterproofing issue in Sydney strata buildings, and one of the costliest. The key isn’t fixing them once; it’s preventing them from returning.
Find the Root Cause
Leaks usually stem from failed membranes, poor drainage, or missing expansion joints. We perform moisture tracing and waterproofing testing in Sydney to pinpoint the problem, not just the symptom.
Use the Right System
We apply UV-resistant membranes and sealants designed for movement and Sydney’s weather extremes. All work meets AS 4654.2 standards.
Implement Regular Maintenance
Small cracks or clogged drains can compromise waterproofing over time. We recommend scheduled inspections and re-sealing every few years for high-exposure areas.
Transparent Reporting
Strata committees receive detailed reports with photos, test data, and warranties, making future maintenance simpler.
Stopping balcony leaks isn’t luck; it’s process. At Wattaproofing Excellence, every system is tested, documented, and built to perform for the life of your building.
