Waterproofing in Toorak
Balcony leaks, failed wet areas and concrete repair, on the blocks and converted houses Toorak is mostly made of. Free assessment, and a written scope before anything is booked.
The Toorak buildings we get called to
Two and three storey walk-up blocks
Balconies with almost no fall and no membrane under the tiles, because there was not one when they were built. Water sits at the wall junction and goes into the flat below instead of off the edge.
Houses converted into apartments
A bathroom put into a room that was never a bathroom, over timber floors that were never meant to be wet. It shows up on the ceiling below, and the ceiling below is usually someone else’s.
Concrete apartment blocks
Original membranes on balconies and podium decks, decades past the life they were sold with, and the spalling that starts once water has been reaching the reinforcement.
Why Toorak is built the way it is
Toorak was built as mansions, and then the gardens were subdivided for flats and the mansions themselves carved into apartments. That is why so many wet areas here sit in rooms that were never meant to have them, and why a single street can run from a period house to a 1970s block with nothing in common except that both are now old enough to leak.
What we do in Toorak
All of it, everywhere we work. These are the ones Toorak calls us about most.
Permits, if it ever comes to that
Toorak is City of Stonnington. Most repairs need nothing from them at all. Where a job does - usually because access is off a right of way with council trees on it - Stonnington’s asset protection permit covers it, and it is ours to arrange, not yours.
