Waterproofing · Hervey Bay & Wide Bay
Bathrooms, wet areas, balconies and retaining walls. Membranes, polyurethanes and cementitious coatings. All applied over properly prepped substrates, with bond breakers and fillets where they belong.
What we do
Most wet area failures come down to the details: incorrect falls, untreated corners, penetrations or a waterproofing system that hasn’t been applied correctly.
We treat every corner, joint and penetration with care, using quality waterproofing systems and applying the membrane in proper coats with the required curing time between each stage. Because when it comes to waterproofing, the details matter, and doing it properly means protecting your property for years to come.
How a wet area runs
We come out, check the substrate, the falls and the square meterage, and send back a fixed price. No charge for the visit.
Proper cleaning, dustless vacuuming and preparation, then the prime. Fillets cut into every internal corner, bond breakers where the movement is, penetrations sealed.
Coats built up and cured properly, all products installed to Australian standards. 7 Year Form 43 supplied.

Questions
The things people actually ring up and ask.
It depends on the size of the wet area and what the substrate needs before the membrane goes on — which is why we quote on site rather than over the phone.
A small ensuite and a big open shower with a hob, a niche and a linear drain are two very different jobs. Send through a couple of photos and the rough square meterage and we’ll come and look at it. Quotes are free and fixed.
Usually 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product, the number of coats and the weather.
Wide Bay humidity slows things down, so we don’t rush it. We’ll tell your tiler exactly when the floor is ready rather than guessing — tiling over a green membrane is one of the quickest ways to cause a leak later.
Yes. Waterproofing domestic wet areas in Queensland is regulated work and has to comply with AS 3740, and it’s covered by the QBCC licensing system.
That means falls to the waste, bond breakers in the corners, fillets where they belong and the membrane turned up the walls to the right height. We do it that way every time, and you get the documentation for your build file.
Yes — external balconies and decks over habitable rooms are one of the jobs we do most.
They’re also the least forgiving. The detail at the door threshold, around the drains and up under the balustrade posts is where these fail, so that’s where the time goes.
Sometimes, but usually not. A shower that’s leaking into the next room generally means the membrane has failed or was never done properly, and the membrane sits under the tiles.
We’ll come and look before anyone starts pulling things apart. If there’s an honest patch repair in it we’ll tell you; if it needs stripping back we’ll tell you that too.
Both. We work for builders on new homes across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast, and directly for owners on bathroom and ensuite renos.
On a new build we work to the trade schedule so we’re in and out between the screeder and the tiler. On a reno we work around you.
Ring Seth and have a chat about it, or send a couple of photos through and we’ll come and look. Quotes are free and fixed.
