Basement Waterproofing in Melbourne
Protecting Below Ground Spaces From Water Ingress and Damp
Below Ground Needs a Different Approach
Basements and retaining walls face constant hydrostatic pressure from surrounding soil, not just surface rain. Left unaddressed, water ingress leads to damp, efflorescence and long term structural damage. The right membrane system, applied correctly, keeps it out.
Installation Steps
On site assessment of water ingress
Crack injection where required
External or internal membrane application
Drainage detailing and cure before backfill

Basement Waterproofing Questions
Can basement waterproofing be done from inside?
Yes, internal membrane and drainage systems are an option where external excavation is not practical, though external waterproofing is generally the more durable fix when access allows.
How long does basement waterproofing take?
Timeframes vary with the extent of ingress and whether excavation is needed. We confirm a realistic timeframe after the on site assessment.
What causes water ingress in a basement?
Hydrostatic pressure from surrounding soil, cracks in the concrete, and failed or ageing membranes are the most common causes we find.
