Get Waterproofing QuotesCommon Jobs on Gordon's Bay Properties
- Retaining wall waterproofing. Damp and staining on walls holding back the slope behind the house.
- Basement waterproofing. Lower-level rooms and garages cut into the hillside.
- Balcony waterproofing. Sea-view balconies leaking into rooms below.
- Flat roof waterproofing. Concrete roofs and roof decks exposed to wind and salt.
- Metal roof waterproofing. Corroded sheets and fixings near the sea.
Water From the Slope
- Runoff. Rain from higher ground collects against back walls and retaining walls.
- Blocked weep holes. Water builds up behind walls when drainage is blocked or missing.
- Below-ground rooms. Damp shows on walls with soil on the other side.
Drainage often matters as much as the coating. A contractor should check both.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Excavation. Waterproofing the soil side of a wall needs digging, which can cost more than the membrane.
- Access on a slope. Steep sites and narrow access make materials and scaffolding harder to get in.
- Negative-side option. Coating the inside face avoids digging but suits some walls better than others.
- Exposure. Sea-facing roofs need products and fixings suited to salt air.
Choosing a Method for a Retaining Wall
- Inspect. Find where water enters and whether drainage behind the wall works.
- Decide the side. Outside membrane and drainage, or an inside cementitious system when digging is not practical.
- Fix drainage. Clear or add weep holes, drains and channels.
- Waterproof. Apply the chosen system and let it cure before finishes go back.
Questions to Ask
- Will you treat the cause or only the damp surface?
- Is digging included, and who restores paving and gardens?
- How will water behind the wall drain away?
- What guarantee applies to below-ground work?
Waterproofing Gordon's Bay FAQs
Why is the back wall of my lower room always damp?
Soil against the wall holds water after rain, especially on a slope. The fix is usually drainage plus a waterproofing system on one side of the wall.
Can a retaining wall be waterproofed from the inside?
Sometimes. Cementitious or crystalline systems can work on the inside face when digging is not practical, but drainage still matters.
Does salt air affect balcony waterproofing?
It mainly affects metal fixings, balustrades and drains. Ask for corrosion-resistant fittings.
How long does a basement or retaining wall job take?
Small walls can take a few days. Jobs with excavation and drainage take longer.
