Balconies
Balconies are one of the most common sources of water leaks and when not properly waterproofed can lead to a multitude of problems – the biggest problem being that most balcony waterproofing products can’t withstand movement and cracks in the substrate, water damage from balconies can cause extensive water damage to interiors especially a balcony located above other rooms in a property, resulting in damp, peeling or bubbling paint and other structural problems that can be costly to fix.
Box Gutters
Box Gutter Waterproofing is specialized. More than 90% of commercial/industrial Roofs have Box gutters that are designed to redistribute water away from roofs. Most commercial landlords experience the complete opposite. Blocked gutters can pool water in gutters causing them to rust and allow water to ingress.
Cement Roofing
Flat roofs can be a cost effective solution to building design and whilst the old adage of ‘flat roofs leak’ may have applied back in the day, this is no longer the case. H₂OProof PTY LTD Firestone RubberGard™ EPDM is engineered to seal commercial, industrial and residential flat and low slope roofing applications for new and existing buildings.
Negative Waterproofing
Negative waterproofing means that the waterproofing layer is applied to the side of the construction member which is opposite to the side with direct contact to the water. Negative side waterproofing is more difficult than positive side waterproofing because the water penetrates through the construction member behind the waterproofing material and tries “to push it off” the substrate.
