Providing Balcony Repair & Restoration Services in Melbourne

Leaking balconies, roof & rooftop terraces Can cause catastrophic damage to structures below. 

Water leaks may cause not only aesthetic & superficial damage but can progress to affect the structure of the building envelope itself.

Waterproofing accounts for approx just 1-2% of total construction costs  but resultant water damage due to leaks is 80% of all building defects.

Best practice building methods can minimise leaking balconies. 

Provide a POSITIVE SLOPE to a balcony substrate Provide adequate amount of EXPANSION JOINTS Can leaking balconies be fixed without removing tiles ? If a failed waterproofing membrane is the reason for water leaks... then  re-grouting or surface sealing is not the way to repair or restore a balcony. 

This is a band-aid method which may stop or slow down water leaks temporarily. However when the balcony moves, the tiles, grout & membrane will  crack & leaks will start again.

Membranes that have failed, will need to be stripped off & re-installed & re-tiled.
