Project details

Paul Evans from Findlay-Evans Waterproofing shares a story about restoring a leaking balcony in a prominent landmark accommodation in Portsea. The restoration involved stripping the existing pavers, re-screeding, and applying a Liquid Rubber membrane, all while battling weather challenges and complex scaffolding setup.

Stripping the Area:

Removed existing pavers to reach the original membrane. Complex setup with scaffolding and equipment, requiring significant labor hours.

Preparation and Re-Screeding:

Stripped down to the original slab. Re-screeded with quick-set screed, considering weather challenges in June/July. Applied a two-part primer to combat moisture.

Applying Liquid Rubber Membrane:

Applied Liquid Rubber membrane with a fiberglass interlayer for durability. Multiple coats were used to ensure quality.

Installing New Pavers:

Applied a Mocha coat and installed brand new imported pavers. Expert team handled the installation with great attention to detail.

Final Cleanup and Reinstatement:

Thoroughly cleaned the job site and restored everything to normal.

Result:

Successful restoration with a very satisfied customer.

Demonstrates the importance of careful planning, quality materials, and skilled execution in waterproofing projects.
