Balcony Waterproofing Services

Revo-seal provides balcony waterproofing installation and repair services to help you avoid the multitude of problems that can arise from a breakdown in balcony waterproofing.

Your balcony provides a peaceful sanctuary where you can relax and watch the world go by. It is, however, typically the most vulnerable part of a building, at the mercy of the ravages of the weather, especially in Singapore’s climate of heavy rainfall.

Water run-off from balconies can cause extensive damage to interiors, leading to structural issues that can be costly to fix.

Signs your balcony waterproofing needs professional attention

Because balconies are generally so exposed to the elements, the tiling and concrete are susceptible to water damage.

Besides substrate damage, other signs of balcony waterproofing collapse include:

• Appearance of mould and mildew
• Cracks in walls
• Poor drainage
• Peeling paint
• Musty smells
• Cracked or missing grout
• Stains on the ceiling
• Evidence of efflorescence, which happens when an accumulation of salts builds up. Efflorescence can only occur with the presence of water, so is a clear signal that water is not draining properly.

Our services encompass various types of balcony waterproofing

Tiled balcony waterproofing

Tiled balcony floors are prone to water damage and mould formation.

If the concrete base or other substrate is sound, it may be possible to resolve water seepage issues by balcony waterproofing over tiles, that is applying water-resistant materials onto existing tiled areas.

However, if the tiles have degraded or damage, such as erosion or cracks, is evident, then balcony waterproofing without removing tiles will be ineffective. In cases like this, the best waterproofing system for a house balcony entails dismantling the tiles in order to install new waterproofing membrane.

Additionally, as part of regular maintenance, external tiling will benefit from treatment with penetrating water repellent, which should be re-applied periodically.

Concrete balcony waterproofing

If your balcony floor and roof are constructed from concrete, the waterproofing membrane will inevitably erode over time without protection. Nevertheless, various systems are available to protect concrete balconies from the effects of the weather.

Many of them can be applied over existing surfaces, avoiding the inconvenience and cost of hacking out and disposing of old material. These treatments include the application of fibre-reinforced liquid and water-based acrylic resin.

Exterior balcony waterproofing

An exterior balcony open to the elements needs adequate drainage or water run-off to safeguard against pooling or water build-up.

Where possible, drainage should be incorporated into the existing downpipes of the building to reduce the risk of water damage, or a downpipe fitted to allow removal of water. If your balcony has been fitted with a pipe or open drain that lets water flow down exterior walls, this can cause significant damage to the walls.

If your exterior balcony is to be a place where you, your family, and visitors can enjoy al fresco entertainment, the application of a quality waterproofing system is essential.

Benefits of our professional balcony waterproofing repair services

To maintain your balcony in a sound condition, adequate waterproofing is needed to ensure water will flow through the drainage rather than be absorbed by the floor and walls. Revo-seal, the professional balcony waterproofing company, will ensure the efficient operation of drainage points, as well as floor and wall joints.

Immediately hiring a specialist in balcony waterproofing repair services when your balcony shows signs of water seepage can prevent a host of complications. The benefits of a quality balcony waterproofing repair include:

• Prevention of damage to tiling and walls.
• Creation of non-slip surfaces.
• Prevention of a decrease in the value of your home.

Further, apartment balcony waterproofing will also prevent damage to the balcony ceiling of the neighbour below your home.
