REPAIR & RESTORE LEAKING BALCONIES. https://www.waterproofingfew.com.au/balcony-waterproofing-method-melbourne/ Hello this is Paul, Findlay-Evans Waterproofing - MELBOURNE WATERPROOFERS. CASE STUDY = Commercial Balcony Waterproofing System This waterproofing project is a commercial office building with a number of different tiled balconies that were all leaking. There were numerous water leak detection issues with these balconies. The office building waS only about 8 years old and the balcony tiles surface is lifting and leaking. Now those problems being that the original membrane was laid down on the flat surface of the concrete slab. However there were sections the Findlay-Evans Team had to repair. In general as the screed was pretty good so we retained the screed and in this case and left the original waterproofing membrane in place as a secondary barrier. The balcony was obviously leaking so we need to install a complete new membrane system. While doing this, the Findlay-Evans Team also screeded up areas as required. However the balcony had very poor drainage o the outlet points as there was not much fall in the design of the balcony. So there was a challenge to get the water to drain to the various balcony outlets. The outlets needed extra plumbing works so we installed new puddle flanges and droppers onto make sure that the water control on the balcony was being directed downwhere it should go - drainage the pipes. Once the remedial plumbing was in place we moved ahead to putting in a new waterproofing membrane on the balcony. Waterproofing preparation was carefully detailed specifically in each area, with all balcony joints and junctions being detailed with polyethylene fabric and the liquid rubber waterproofing system. Once that was all done we went ahead and laid our LIQUID RUBBER coatings and Then introduced an interlayer of fiberglass mesh to give it some toughness. The balcony was then over coated with a coat of Thermo Top Coat membrane to give robustness and durability. Findlay-Evans Team worked efficiently to have the balcony membrane down for our Team of Tilers to come in. The Alucobond Cladding on this commercial office building also had problems, there was still water ingress coming from other areas. We performed some water leak detection & investigation and discovered Rather large gaps found shown here with a pencil and tape. Our Waterproofers went ahead and detailed all those joints and junctions to stop water getting in and then give them a coat of Thermo Top Coat membrane. So there many points of entry for water ingress in this balcony repairs. Once the balconies were waterproofed, installed extra BALCONY EXPANSION JOINTS into the tile surface.
