- Balcony waterproofing. Tiled balconies and terraces leaking into rooms or garages below.
- Flat roof waterproofing. Concrete roofs and roof decks with parapets and few outlets.
- Retaining wall waterproofing. Walls holding back the slope that weep and stain after rain.
- Basement waterproofing. Lower-level rooms and garages cut into the hill that take on water.
- Joint sealing. Movement joints between slabs, terraces and walls that have cracked open.
- Wall waterproofing. Exposed upper walls hit by wind-driven winter rain.
Homes on a Slope
- Water from uphill. Runoff from higher ground collects behind walls and under floors if drainage is poor.
- Rooms below terraces. A failed membrane on a terrace shows up as a leak in the room underneath, often far from the actual entry point.
- Exposure. Higher homes catch the full force of winter cold fronts, so walls, sills and parapets take more driven rain.
A contractor should check drainage and falls before quoting a coating.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Access. Steep driveways, double-storey walls and scaffolding on a slope add cost.
- Tiles on or off. Lifting and replacing tiles costs more than the membrane itself.
- Drainage work. Digging in drains or cutting new outlets is priced on top of waterproofing.
- Season. Booking in the dry summer months is easier than once the winter rains start.
How a Terrace or Balcony Job Usually Runs
- Leak test. The contractor wets sections one at a time to find where water gets in.
- Strip. Tiles and screed are lifted where the membrane has failed.
- Falls and outlets. Screed is laid to fall to the drain and outlets are reworked.
- Membrane. A liquid or sheet membrane is laid and turned up walls and thresholds.
- Retile. Tiles go back once the membrane has cured.
Estates and Access
Some estates control contractor access and working hours, and may need approval for visible changes. Check the rules before booking so quotes include any extra time.
Questions to Ask
- Where exactly is the water getting in, and how did you confirm it?
- Does the quote include new falls and outlets, or only a membrane?
- How will the membrane be finished at door thresholds and balustrade fixings?
- What guarantee is offered in writing, and does it cover the tiles?
Waterproofing Plattekloof FAQs
Can a balcony be waterproofed without lifting the tiles?
Sometimes. A clear sealer over sound tiles can help with grout leaks, but a failed membrane underneath usually means the tiles must come up.
Why does the leak show in a different room?
Water travels along the slab before it drips through, so the entry point is often a few metres away from the stain.
Does my retaining wall need waterproofing or drainage?
Usually both. A membrane on the soil side keeps water out of the wall, and drainage stops pressure building up behind it.
When should I book terrace waterproofing?
In the dry summer months. Most membranes need dry screed and dry weather to cure.
