Tailored Waterproofing Solutions For Every Space
Different areas of a property have different waterproofing needs. Wet rooms like showers and laundries require targeted solutions around drains and joins, while outdoor tiled areas need moisture control that factors in rainfall and exposure. The key is understanding how water moves through a space—and preventing it from reaching the wrong layers. Our process includes careful substrate prep, strategic coverage, and attention to common trouble spots to reduce the risk of leaks and damp patches.
When waterproofing is done well, it’s easy to forget it’s even there—but you’ll appreciate it every time your tiles stay clean, sealed, and intact.
What areas of a home need tile waterproofing?
Any space exposed to regular moisture should be waterproofed before tiling. This includes bathrooms, laundries, showers, and sometimes kitchens or entryways. Outdoor tiled areas—such as patios or balconies—also benefit from moisture management. Proper waterproofing helps protect sublayers, reduces mould growth, and extends the life of both tiles and the surface underneath.
What happens if you skip waterproofing under tiles?
Skipping waterproofing can lead to water seeping into the substrate below the tiles. Over time, this can cause structural deterioration, rot, mould, and lifting tiles. Even small gaps or cracks can allow moisture to spread, particularly in wet areas like showers. Repairing water damage later is often more expensive and time-consuming than doing the waterproofing properly upfront.
Is tile waterproofing permanent?
Tile waterproofing is long-lasting when applied correctly, but it isn't completely permanent. Over time, factors like movement in the structure, heavy use, or harsh cleaning chemicals can impact waterproofing integrity. For high-use areas, it's wise to inspect waterproofing periodically and reapply or touch up if signs of wear appear.
