Our Gold Coast Waterproofing Services

BRS provides waterproofing solutions for:

Roofs and Rooftop Areas

Queensland’s salt-laden coastal air, intense UV exposure and seasonal downpours are hard on roof membranes, flashings, parapets, drainage points and rooftop plant areas. BRS identifies early deterioration before it leads to corrosion, concrete damage or internal water ingress.

Balconies and Terraces

Exposed to constant weathering and foot traffic, balcony membranes are a common failure point. We assess drainage falls, junctions and surface wear before recommending a system.

Podiums and Suspended Slabs

Podium decks and suspended slabs carry the added risk of water tracking into occupied levels below. We repair or replace failed membranes and address the drainage causing the issue.

Planter Boxes

Planter boxes are a frequent source of hidden leaks due to constant moisture and root intrusion. We identify failed liners and rebuild them to prevent ongoing damage.

External Walls and Façades

Façade waterproofing failures often show up as internal damp, staining or efflorescence. We trace water paths back to the source before recommending repairs.

Basements and Below Ground Areas

Below-ground areas face constant hydrostatic pressure. We apply negative and positive-side waterproofing systems suited to the structure and soil conditions.

Trafficable Surfaces

Car parks, walkways and other trafficable areas need coatings that combine waterproofing performance with durability under vehicle and foot traffic.

Areas Affected by Ongoing Water Ingress

Where water ingress has been unresolved for some time, we assess the extent of associated concrete or structural damage as part of the rectification scope.

Drains, Plumbing and Irrigation

Leaks in drains, plumbing or irrigation lines can be hard to spot. Regular checks help catch blockages or small leaks before they cause bigger waterproofing failures.

Depending on the site requirements, systems may include liquid membranes, torch on membranes, epoxy coatings, cementitious systems, injection repairs and trafficable coatings. Ongoing water ingress can also contribute to concrete deterioration and corrosion of embedded reinforcement, Concrete Spalling Repair. Where these issues are present, BRS can incorporate concrete repairs on the Gold Coast into the broader rectification scope.

Your attitude toward this job, right from the start, was refreshing, and I can now advise the building owners this work is complete.”

Is Your Roof Ready for the Next Wet Season?

Proactive maintenance for body corporates

On a strata or high-rise building, the rooftop is often the last area anyone notices – until it fails. A ceiling stain, damp patch or unexpected leak may be the first visible sign of deterioration that has been developing unseen for years. Proactive maintenance gives committees greater control. Inspections and repairs can be planned, budgeted and incorporated into sinking fund forecasts, rather than arriving unexpectedly as an urgent rectification project or special levy.

BRS provides root-cause diagnosis, fit-for-purpose accredited waterproofing systems and staged repair programs for strata and high-rise buildings – with planning, project management, repairs and final sign-off delivered by one accountable team.

Signs Your Building May Need Waterproofing Repairs

Peeling or blistering paint
Mould, mildew or persistent odours
Water stains and damp patches
Efflorescence
Cracks around walls, joints or openings
Rust or corrosion
Ponding water
Leaks around windows, doors or roof areas

Leaks around ageing windows and doors may require more than membrane repairs. BRS also provides window replacement services on the Gold Coast for commercial and multi-storey buildings.

Waterproofing Assessment Process

Before recommending repairs, BRS assesses the affected area to identify where water is entering and what may be contributing to the problem. This can include reviewing visible damage, existing waterproofing systems, drainage, Construction & Expansion Joints, cracks and surrounding building elements.

Understanding the source of the water ingress helps determine whether the issue is isolated or part of a broader waterproofing or building defect.

Waterproofing Rectification Process

Once the cause and extent of the waterproofing failure have been identified, BRS can recommend an appropriate rectification approach for the property.

Depending on the issue, this may involve repairing or replacing failed waterproofing, addressing cracks or affected surfaces, improving drainage, or completing related remedial building works. The required solution will depend on the existing condition of the building and the source of the water ingress.

Podium and Pool Waterproofing

Podium decks, pool surrounds and elevated outdoor areas are particularly vulnerable to waterproofing failure. These areas may experience ponding water, cracked finishes, deteriorating membranes, degradation of Construction & Expansion and water ingress into the levels below.

Our podium refurbishment services can include waterproofing replacement, tiling, concrete repairs and upgrades to surrounding areas.

FAQs

What causes waterproofing systems to fail?

Failures can result from ageing membranes, poor drainage, structural movement, incorrect installation, surface preparation issues or prolonged exposure to moisture.

Do you provide commercial waterproofing on the Gold Coast?

Yes. BRS works with body corporates, building managers, commercial property owners and other project stakeholders across the Gold Coast.

Can you repair an existing waterproofing system?

This depends on the condition of the existing system and the cause of the failure. BRS completes a site assessment before recommending repairs or replacement.

What areas of a building can be waterproofed?

Waterproofing may be required across roofs, balconies, podiums, planter boxes, basements, external walls and other areas exposed to moisture.

What affects the cost of waterproofing repairs?

The cost of waterproofing repairs depends on several factors, including:

The size and location of the affected area
The source and extent of the water ingress
The condition of the existing membrane or coating
Whether damaged materials need to be removed
The amount of surface preparation and repair required
Access requirements, including scaffolding or elevated work platforms
Drainage, structural or concrete repairs required before waterproofing
The waterproofing system or protective coating selected

A site assessment allows BRS to identify the cause of the problem and prepare a rectification scope based on the condition of the building.

How do I know whether my building needs waterproofing repairs?

Warning signs may include peeling paint, mould, musty odours, damp patches, water stains, cracked surfaces, efflorescence, ponding water or leaks around windows, doors, balconies and roof areas. An assessment can help determine whether the issue is caused by a failed membrane, poor drainage, building movement or another defect.

Can waterproofing repairs be completed without replacing the entire system?

In some cases, localised repairs may be suitable. However, this depends on the age, condition and compatibility of the existing waterproofing system. Where deterioration is widespread or the original installation has failed, broader replacement may provide a more reliable long-term solution.
