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.
Inspect sealed areas every 6 months for cracks or bubbles. Keep gutters and drains clear to avoid water buildup. Reseal joints in wet areas when grout starts to crack. Avoid drilling into waterproofed walls without proper guidance. Small repairs early prevent large leaks later.
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.
Ask which materials they use and why, how thick the membrane will be, what warranty they offer in writing, and whether they handle excavation or hire a subcontractor. Request photos of similar past jobs and ask for a written scope of work. Confirm they carry liability insurance and a local trade license. Clear answers build trust from day one.
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.
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.
A standard bathroom sealing takes 2 to 3 days, including drying time between coats. Roof membrane work on a small house often needs 3 to 5 days. Basement exterior excavation can take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on access. Weather delays are common on exterior work.
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.
Flat roofs and terraces use torch-applied membranes, liquid polyurethane or PVC sheets about 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm thick. Joints need overlap of at least 10 cm and proper sealing at edges and pipes. Good drainage slopes of 1.5 percent keep water from standing. Regular checks every 6 months help you catch small problems before leaks start.
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.
