Waterproofing through the decades in Australia

As a leader in leak detection, waterproofing, remediation and preventative maintenance, Danrae Group delivers exceptional solutions with proven processes – and by staying on top of new innovations in waterproofing. While new techniques and processes are less frequent these days, waterproofing is a far cry from its earliest inception. We take a look at some key moments in waterproofing – and how they relate to today’s waterproofing techniques.

Four essential traits of professional waterproofers

Quality waterproofing is crucial to protect the condition and value of any strata or commercial property. And central to quality waterproofing is a skilled team. There are several traits every professional waterproofer needs – and we’ve put together our top four. It’s these skills that help ensure every Danrae customer receives first class diagnostic, solution design, waterproofing and preventative maintenance.

A Danrae Group guide to roof remediation

Every roof, however effective your waterproofing solution, may need repairs from time to time due to external factors. For those with an ineffective waterproofing design or a poorly installed membrane, at some stage you will likely require significant remediation. Danrae’s roof remediation process is comprehensive and includes everything from leak detection and testing to site repairs. Here’s what to expect.

Maintaining effective waterproofing with a building health check

Danrae Group can advise you on best practice to avoid major and costly waterproofing repairs. An essential procedure for every strata or commercial manager is a building health check. A building health check can help ensure you have an effective waterproofing solution in place, identify the signs of common issues such as concrete spalling and concrete cancer, and take adequate steps to protect your current waterproofing.

Pros and cons: torch-on vs single ply membranes

At Danrae Group, we know that delivering expert waterproofing solutions requires a thorough understanding of materials, brands and best applications. Torch-on bitumen and single ply, for instance, are two membranes we frequently use – and each has properties that make it the ideal choice for certain projects. Here’s our guide to torch-on and single ply… including pros, cons and potential uses.

The science and skill of torch-on membrane waterproofing

First-class waterproofing takes skill. Torch-on bitumen is a relatively common form of membrane for waterproofing, but not an easy installation for the uninitiated. We take a look at what’s involved, when torch-on membrane is most suitable, and why it is an optimum choice for long-term and effective waterproofing solutions.
