Ask which materials will be used and why. Request the product brand and technical data sheet. Confirm the warranty period in writing. Ask how many layers will be applied and the expected drying time. Clarify whether the quote includes surface preparation and cleanup after the job.
Basements face constant pressure from groundwater. Common solutions include exterior bituminous coating, dimpled drainage membranes, and interior sump pumps. Cracks wider than 3 mm usually need injection repair. Good exterior drainage with clean gutters and downspouts reduces hydrostatic pressure.
Showers and bathroom floors need a liquid membrane under the tiles. Corners, pipe entries, and the floor-wall joint require flexible tape or reinforcement mesh. Grout alone is not waterproof and must be sealed. Re-sealing every 2 to 3 years keeps the area watertight.
Flat roofs and terraces need a continuous membrane over the entire surface. Options include torch-applied bituminous sheets, liquid polyurethane, or EPDM rubber. Joints around drains, edges, and pipes are the most common leak points. Proper slope toward drains prevents standing water after rain.
Interior methods include sealants, epoxy injections, and waterproof coatings applied inside the room. Exterior work uses membranes, drainage boards, and protective coatings on the outside of the structure. Exterior solutions are usually more durable because they block water before it enters the wall.
Look for damp patches, peeling paint, white salt deposits, or a musty smell. Brown stains on ceilings often point to a roof or upper-floor leak. Hairline cracks in basement walls let water seep in during rain. Bubbling wallpaper and swollen skirting boards are also warning signs to act on.
Waterproofing keeps water out of walls, floors, and foundations. Leaks cause mold, stains, damaged plaster, and rust on metal parts. A single ceiling drip can ruin electric fixtures below. Good waterproofing protects the structure and keeps indoor air healthier. It also adds value to the property.
Inspect gutters every 6 months and clean them so water flows away from the walls. Check seals around vents and pipes once a year for cracks. Keep an eye on basement walls for new stains after heavy rain. Trim plants 30 cm away from exterior walls so roots do not damage the membrane. Small habits keep the system working for many years.
Pricing depends on area size, access difficulty, material type, and how much preparation the surface needs. Interior sealants may cost less per square meter than full exterior excavation jobs. Labor, disposal of excavated soil, and the number of coats required all change the final price. Always compare written quotes covering the same scope of work and materials.
Common failures come from poor surface preparation, skipping primer, or applying membrane on a wet slab. Joints that are not overlapped correctly also leak within months. Some contractors use thin paint instead of real membrane, which peels after 1 or 2 seasons. Lack of drainage behind retaining walls causes water to build up and push through the coating.
