Project
Interior Waterproofing for Leaky Garage ( Kohimarama, Auckland)
Project description
Leaks in garages below ground level are very common in New Zealand. Why, because for the past years, The Building Code at the time did not impose some regulations until now after the rise of leaks, fungal growth and excessive moisture in our homes.
This is the issue we had to deal with in this project. The retaining wall which is part of the garage enclosed hasn't been waterproofed from the outside. And as a result of that, our clients had a leak on their carpet and the rise of efflorescence on the wall was very visible which was a concern for their health and safety conditions.
We took the challenge on board and first did a good preparation work by removing the carpet away from the wall, wire brushing the wall to remove any signs of moist and dampness off the wall for better adhesion of the membrane to the wall, and sealing holes on the wall with some mortar cement.
Then applied a 3-coating system of Aquaguard 101 Liquid membrane on the wall reinforced with fibre glass matt on joints and cracks.
And now the garage is free of leaks and moisture for our lovely clients to enjoy their newly renovated space.
