There is no universal “best” waterproofing method—the right choice depends on where (roofs, decks, basements, bathrooms) and how you need protection.
Yes, waterproofing is designed to stop leaks by creating a barrier that prevents water from penetrating surfaces.

Yes, you can do waterproofing yourself, especially for small, manageable projects like bathrooms, decks, or minor roof repairs.
Mistakes in DIY waterproofing can lead to hidden damage, ineffective results, and expensive repairs later on.
Waterproofing can last anywhere from 5 years to several decades, depending on the method and how well it’s installed and maintained. For the longest-lasting results, choose high-quality materials, ensure professional application, and schedule regular maintenance.
The best time to do waterproofing is during summer or any dry, warm spell. This ensures the materials cure properly, gives you the most reliable protection, and helps you stay ahead of Auckland’s unpredictable weather.
You should tile directly on top of a properly installed and cured waterproofing membrane, using suitable adhesives and following best practices. This ensures a durable, watertight, and long-lasting tiled surface in all wet areas.
While you can sometimes waterproof over old waterproofing, it is safer and more effective to remove the old layer and start fresh. This approach avoids hidden problems and ensures the new waterproofing system performs as intended. Always consult a professional if you are unsure or if the area is critical, like a roof, deck, or basement.
We use TPO, Torch On, Vinyl and Butynol membranes because they are proven, reliable, and deliver the best results for waterproofing decks in Auckland’s demanding climate.
Clean, inspect, and seal or patch leaks using quality gutter sealant, tape, or patches. For persistent or severe leaks, replace damaged sections or consult a professional. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your gutters leak-free and protecting your home from water damage.
