More than just waterproofers

A waterproofing specialist and registered builder - second-generation, family owned, and solving Melbourne's hardest leaks.

Our story

Advance Waterproofing is a waterproofing specialist and registered builder based in Melbourne. As a second-generation, family-owned business, we carry forward a legacy of construction excellence.

Being a registered builder as well as a licensed waterproofer means we can take a leak the whole way - diagnose it, rectify the cause, and carry out the concrete repair, tiling, plumbing and any other trades the fix needs. One accountable contractor rather than several to coordinate.

Our business is built on long-standing relationships. If you do the job right, treat people fairly and give transparent advice, the business takes care of itself.

“We don't patch problems, we engineer solutions.”

Most waterproofers are applicators

We operate differently. Our team spans engineering, registered building practice and licensed waterproofing - three specialties that rarely sit in the same company, and all three are needed to work out why a building is leaking rather than just what to coat it with.

We are members of the Australian Institute of Waterproofing, which is how we stay current with the standards and the way the industry is moving.

  1. 01

    Diagnose with precision

    We identify complex water ingress issues that others often miss.

  2. 02

    Design for durability

    We understand building materials and compliance requirements inside out.

  3. 03

    Execute with care

    We take pride in our workmanship, ensuring every seal is perfect.

Licensed, insured, accountable

Engaging a contractor requires trust. We are fully licensed and carry comprehensive insurance, and we can produce the paperwork on request.
