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.
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.
Showers and bathroom floors need a waterproof layer under the tiles. Professionals apply liquid membrane in 2 or 3 coats, letting each one cure for 4 to 6 hours. Corners get reinforcing fabric tape. Coverage should reach 20 cm above the showerhead. This stops water reaching the slab and prevents damage to the ceiling of the room below.
Look for a contractor who specializes in waterproofing, not just general repairs. Check references from jobs done at least 2 years ago. Confirm liability insurance and written warranty. A good contractor inspects the source of the leak before quoting. Avoid anyone who suggests covering the problem without diagnosis.
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.
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.
A bathroom seal takes 2 to 3 days including curing time. A roof coating often needs 1 to 2 days of dry weather and another 24 hours before foot traffic. Exterior foundation work can run 5 to 10 working days depending on excavation depth and weather. Always add a buffer for rain delays during the project.
Interior methods include sealants, epoxy injections and negative-side coatings applied inside the basement. Exterior work usually needs excavation around the foundation, a bituminous membrane 3 mm thick, and a drainage board. Exterior systems block water before it reaches the wall, while interior ones manage water that already entered. Both can be combined for stronger protection.
Price depends on area size, product type, and surface condition. Removing old layers adds labor cost. Accessibility matters: higher floors or tight basements cost more. Quality membranes and certified labor cost more but last longer. Always compare written quotes that list materials, area, and warranty.
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.
