Commercial Waterproofing
Lack or absence of waterproofing is one of the top reasons for foundation repair in Sydney’s commercial buildings. Damp flooring, musty odours and cracks in the walls are tell-tale signs of water damage in your home.
In New South Wales, only individuals who own a license are authorised to perform waterproofing tasks.
you can only do your own waterproofing if you’re licensed to do so (i.e. the work must be done by someone with a licence). In other states and territories no licence is required, but whoever you’re hiring has to provide written assurances that the work has been done in accordance with Australian Standards
Owners and managers of commercial buildings understand just how different these buildings are from the average residential building. Not only are they larger, they also experience significantly more wear and tear over the years.
Maintaining a commercial building is a lot of work. However, there is more to it than simply ensuring that the walls are painted and the floors scrubbed clean. You also need to ensure that the building is safe for its occupants. Attending to the foundation of the building is a great place to start.

Count on Commercial Waterproofing Specialists
While it may be tempting to go for the contractor that will save you the most money, it is important to note that not all contractors are the same. They won’t offer you the same experience, results and level of professionalism. It is important to weigh all these factors when considering the contractor you choose.
Go for a contractor with experience in commercial foundations. They should have a professional attitude and have a well-trained team. They should also be able to provide you with references and testimonials for work they have done previously.
Remember that the foundations of commercial buildings are significantly different from those of residential buildings. You should always hire a contractor who understands these foundations and can therefore provide you with long term solutions.
