What is Membrane Waterproofing?
Membrane waterproofing is a popular method that uses a thin protective layer over a surface or roof to prevent water ingress. It creates a seamless waterproof layer and blocks water seepage, moisture, and leaks. If you are dealing with recurring leaks or damp areas in your property, membrane waterproofing can help protect your building from further water damage.
Membrane waterproofing is generally applied to water-exposed areas. These are the typical locations where it can be used:
- Flat concrete roofs
- Rooftop gardens
- Terraces and balconies.
- Washrooms and wet places
- Basements Planter boxes
You can use this for both homes and commercial buildings. A roof inspection can help you determine whether you need one if you’re unsure about your roof’s condition.
Types of Membrane Waterproofing
Multiple types of waterproofing membranes are available in Singapore. Each type comes with its own benefits and can be used for various purposes.
Liquid-applied membrane
Applied to surfaces via brushing or spraying to form a seamless waterproof layer; ideal for complex areas such as corners and around pipes.
Sheet membrane
Supplied in rolls and installed with sealed joints; primarily used for large, flat surfaces requiring waterproofing protection.
Bituminous membrane
Made from bitumen, offering high durability and reliable waterproofing; widely used in roofing applications.
Cementitious membrane
A polymer-modified, cement-based waterproofing coating that bonds well with concrete and is commonly used beneath tiles.
Every property is different, and the most suitable waterproofing system depends on factors such as roof design, surface condition, and exposure to weather. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution, our team evaluates your property carefully before recommending the appropriate membrane system.

Signs You May Need Membrane Waterproofing
Not sure whether your roof requires waterproofing? You may have noticed small warning signs but are unsure whether they require immediate attention. Here are the common signs that you need proper waterproofing services:
Our Membrane Waterproofing Process
We have a specific procedure to ensure that the work is done correctly. The following steps outline our membrane waterproofing process:
Initial Inspection and Assessment
Our approach is simple: first, we understand what is happening. During the inspection, we look for existing damage, weak spots, drainage issues, and possible causes of leakage.
Surface Preparation
We take the time to properly prepare the surface because waterproofing performance depends heavily on proper preparation. We remove dirt, debris, and old coatings where necessary to ensure the membrane bonds correctly.
Repair of Existing Defects
We look for cracks and damaged areas and repair them before the process begins. This is a crucial step. We do not cover defects with a membrane, as it can cause issues later.
Membrane Application
Depending on the type selected, we apply the liquid membrane or lay the sheet membrane. We cover the entire surface area properly and evenly.
Detailing and Sealing
We pay close attention to joints, corners, and edges. These areas are more susceptible to leakage if not securely sealed. Proper detailing can prevent potential water leaks and provide better protection.
Final Inspection
Once the waterproofing work is completed, we take the time to carry out a detailed final inspection. This allows us to check for uneven application, weak points, or areas that may require additional attention before completing the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Membrane waterproofing can successfully protect many surfaces, such as flat concrete roofs, terraces, and balconies. The best membrane type, however, will vary based on the roof's shape, condition, and weather exposure. An onsite inspection is recommended to evaluate your roof and determine what is best for your property.
A waterproof membrane can solve leaks in the roof surface. It is most effective, however, when you first repair any existing defects, such as cracks. During the process, we identify and fix these issues before laying the membrane, which helps us achieve a better result.
The time required will vary depending on the size of the area and the condition of the surface. This may take one or two days or longer depending on the size and complexity of the area to be covered. We will provide a further timeline after our on-site inspection.
Common signs include water stains on the ceiling, peeling paint, a musty odor, or ceiling cracks. If you see any of these indications, consider having an inspection. The sooner you find a problem, the less extensive the damage and repair costs will be.
Partial waterproofing may be possible in many instances, particularly in specific areas. However, we will determine whether a partial or full application suits your roof, because in some cases it works best over a wider area.
Yes, we provide waterproofing services for both residential and commercial properties. From landed homes to condominium units, warehouses, and office buildings, our team can inspect your property and recommend suitable membrane waterproofing solutions.
