Our Waterproofing Membrane Installation Process

At Carpet Removal Sydney, we follow a detailed and efficient waterproofing membrane installation procedure designed to deliver durable, high-quality results with minimal disruption. Every stage is carried out with precision to ensure long-term protection, safety, and a flawless finish.

Initial Assessment:
We begin with a detailed inspection of the area to confirm suitability for a liquid-applied system. Our team checks the condition of the concrete, identifies any cracks or moisture concerns, and determines whether repairs, levelling, or additional preparation are needed before application.

Surface Preparation:
A clean, stable substrate is essential for liquid membrane performance. We isolate surrounding areas, protect fixtures and walls, and prepare the surface through grinding, patching, and cleaning to ensure strong membrane adhesion. All dust and debris are managed with high-powered extraction systems.

Professional Liquid Membrane Application:
Our licensed technicians apply high-quality liquid waterproofing membranes using rollers or brushes, depending on the project requirements. Each coat is spread to the correct thickness, ensuring seamless coverage with no weak points. Critical zones — such as corners, junctions, edges, and penetrations — receive additional reinforcement for maximum protection.

Multi-Coat Protection & Curing:
Liquid membranes require several coats for full effectiveness. We allow each layer to cure properly before applying the next, ensuring the final membrane is strong, flexible, and completely watertight. This process guarantees long-term performance and compliance with Australian standards.

Final Cleanup & Quality Inspection:
After the final coat has cured, we complete a full cleanup of the workspace and perform a thorough inspection of the membrane. We check thickness, uniformity, coverage, and reinforcement details to ensure the system meets manufacturer specifications and delivers reliable, long-term waterproofing.

Common Areas That Need Waterproofing Membranes

Bathrooms & Laundry Rooms:
Wet rooms like bathrooms and laundries face constant moisture exposure. Without proper waterproofing, water from showers, tubs, and appliances can seep into floors and adjoining walls. Installing a membrane system here is crucial to prevent long-term damage and maintain hygiene.

Roofs & Podium Slabs:
Flat roofs and podium structures are exposed to heavy rainfall and weathering. To protect these surfaces, high-performance membranes—such as liquid-applied systems, bitumen sheets, or reinforced membranes—are used depending on the build and design requirements.

Balconies & Outdoor Terraces:
Unprotected balconies can suffer from cracking, water seepage, and tile movement. A waterproofing membrane beneath the surface prevents moisture penetration and safeguards internal living areas, especially in multi-storey buildings.

Car Parks, Tunnels, Lift Pits & Docks:
Underground infrastructure is particularly vulnerable to water intrusion. Specialised waterproofing systems designed to withstand ground pressure and moisture are essential to protect these areas and ensure structural reliability.

Exterior Decks:
Outdoor decks must be sealed to stop water from leaking into living spaces below. High-grade, UV-stable membranes help protect the structure and prolong its lifespan.

Basements & Below-Ground Structures:
Basements are constantly challenged by soil moisture and groundwater pressure. Advanced membranes and drainage solutions are applied to keep these spaces dry and suitable for use.

Planter Boxes & Green Roofs:
Garden beds and rooftop landscaping hold soil and water, which can damage structures if not properly sealed. Waterproofing keeps moisture contained while supporting healthy plant growth.

Pools & Water Features:
Pool shells and surrounding surfaces demand specialised waterproofing to avoid leaks, structural damage, and moisture migration into nearby areas. Membranes are applied to walls, floors, and connection points.

Retaining Walls & Substructure Walls:
Walls that hold back soil are continually exposed to moisture and hydrostatic pressure. Applying positive or negative-side waterproofing ensures no water penetrates the structure or flows into internal areas.

What Is A Waterproofing Membrane?

How Thick Is A Waterproofing Membrane?

Most are about 1 to 6mm thick. There are essentially 2 types of membranes: sheet-based membranes and liquid-applied membranes. A sheet waterproofing membrane typically has a greater and more consistent thickness than a liquid-applied membrane.

Why Do I Need A Waterproofing Membrane?

You need a waterproofing membrane to create a protective, impervious barrier that prevents water from damaging a structure, which helps prevent costly repairs, such as concrete cancer repairs, mould growth, and other structural issues. Waterproofing membranes are vital in preventing water ingress in various areas like wet areas (bathrooms, laundries), under tiles, and on roofs, ensuring the building’s integrity, longevity, and safety.

Is Concrete Grinding Required Before Installing A Waterproofing Membrane?

Yes, concrete grinding is generally required before installing a waterproofing membrane because it creates a clean, smooth, and porous surface that the membrane needs to properly bond to. Grinding removes residues, unevenness, and imperfections, ensuring the membrane’s longevity and the installer’s warranty. Failing to prepare the surface can lead to premature failure of the waterproofing system and void any warranty.
