Balcony Waterproofing

Project Details

Paul Evans of Findlay-Evans Waterproofing presents a case scenario involving the Doncaster Police Station, where they were called in by Rob Morgan of Morgan Constructions to rectify water leaks. The project involved removing and reusing pavers, rectifying issues with the old membrane system, applying a Liquid Rubber system, moving air-conditioning units, re-installing pavers with buzz-on stands, capping a planter box, and adding aesthetic touches.

Water Leak Rectification:
Removed and stockpiled pavers for reuse.
Cleaned and rectified problems with a shrunken PVC membrane system.
