Bathroom Waterproofing Sydney

Waterproofing your bathroom begins by assessing the areas in your bathroom that are likely most prone to leaks and water damages, which include your shower, bathtub, toilet, sinks, and any adjacent pipes and hoses. Because your bathroom is connected to various water sources, it is one of the most vulnerable rooms in your house that can succumb to water damages or flooding. We take preventative steps to deter water buildup and protect your interiors if they do come in contact with excessive water.

 

Baseboards

The baseboards around your bathroom are often where the water can fall through and go unnoticed for some time. Even small amounts of moisture can find their way into the loose or cracked baseboards, allowing for mold buildup and debris to fester. Pests will also take comfort in these locations, so it's vital that you have waterproofing solutions in place to combat the water accumulating in your baseboards. Sealing your baseboards will also protect against further moisture buildup inside the cracks.

 

Shower and Bathtub

We provide professional waterproofing solutions for your leaking shower and apply waterproofing membranes around the floors and bases of your shower and bathtub to prevent water from penetrating your bathroom further and leaving behind damages. We offer waterproofing solutions for bathrooms because it’s inevitable that water will pour over out of the shower, sink, or bathtub and onto the floors. Having untreated floors that are made of unprotected materials can damage your flooring and result in thousands of dollars of damage to your home. We provide our services according to the Australian government’s regulations for waterproofing, so you can rest easy knowing your home is up to par on code standards.

 

Caulking

Caulking is also important because it seals the edges around your toilet, bathtub, and shower, where water can easily trickle through and separate the structures. Not only will we check your caulking to make sure it is up to par, but we'll provide professional feedback on the best ways to prolong your caulk and keep it in the best condition possible. Our waterproofing solutions do not damage your caulk but simply amplify it further to protect your bathroom flooring. You may need to consider re-caulking your edges if you notice that parts of your caulk are coming loose, as once they do, they can easily begin to peel upwards, and water can soak through the loose parts. Always check your sealed edges and make sure the caulk is securely in place.

 

Ventilation

The ventilation in your bathroom is also crucial because, without ventilation, moisture and humidity can build up in the windows and eventually deteriorate the caulking or sealing. Poor ventilation allows for moisture to stay within the bathroom and causes it to accumulate quicker. We recommend revisiting your HVAC system and ensuring that your ventilation is suitable for your bathroom and that you have an extractor fan or window that can adequately push out the excess moisture and steam from the hot water used.
