Get Waterproofing QuotesTypical Jobs in Claremont
- Rising damp treatment. Older houses with failed or bridged damp courses and salt-damaged plaster.
- Balcony waterproofing. Apartment balconies leaking into the unit or parking below.
- Concrete roof waterproofing. Flat concrete roofs on apartment blocks and offices.
- Roof leak repairs. Leaks at chimneys, valleys and box gutters in heavy winter rain.
- Shower waterproofing. Showers in flats leaking into the unit below.
Houses Versus Apartment Blocks
- Older houses. Damp usually comes up from the ground or through thick, cracked walls, so diagnosis comes first.
- Apartment blocks. Leaks between units often trace back to balconies, showers or the roof slab, not the wall where the stain shows.
- Mixed-use buildings. Shops and offices on the ground floor may need work done after hours.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Who owns the problem. In a sectional title block, roofs and outer walls are usually common property and the body corporate pays.
- Tiles on or off. Balconies and showers cost more when tiles must be lifted and replaced.
- Plaster damage. Salt-damaged plaster must be hacked off and redone with a salt-resistant mix.
- Access. Multi-storey blocks may need scaffolding or rope access.
Leaks Between Flats
A stain on your ceiling may start in the unit above. A good contractor tests before quoting:
- Flood or leak test on the balcony or shower above.
- Checks of drains, thresholds and silicone joints.
- Moisture readings to map where the water spreads.
Agree with the neighbour or managing agent who pays for testing before work starts.
Questions to Ask
- Is this rising damp, rain penetration or a plumbing leak?
- What salt-resistant plaster or render will be used?
- How long must the wall dry before painting?
- What does the guarantee cover, and who issues it?
Waterproofing Claremont FAQs
Who pays for a balcony leak in a Claremont block?
It depends on the conduct rules and whether the balcony is common property or an exclusive use area. Check with the managing agent first.
Will painting with damp-proof paint fix my wall?
Rarely on its own. If water is rising from the ground or entering through cracks, paint only hides it for a while.
How long does rising damp treatment take to dry out?
The injection itself is quick, but thick walls can take months to dry. Contractors usually wait before final painting.
Can a shower be waterproofed without retiling?
Sometimes, if only grout and silicone have failed. If the membrane under the tiles has failed, the tiles must come off.
