Trace the source, strip to sound substrate, prepare, prime, apply the system in coats, detail the junctions, flood test, document and reinstate.

Every division follows the same ten point job discipline on top of its own technical method, which covers arrival, scope confirmation, property protection, condition photographs, function testing and a joint handover at the end.

The technical scope for waterproofing & damp proofing is: Leak tracing and diagnosis (moisture mapping, thermal imaging and flood testing before any breaking out); Bathroom and wet area tanking (tanking systems applied and tested before tiling starts); Roof and terrace membranes (liquid applied and sheet systems with correct detailing at upstands).

It also covers basement and retaining wall treatment; planter and landscape waterproofing; flood testing and certification.

Polyurethane and cementitious liquid membranes, torch on sheet systems, injection resins, root barriers and polyurethane sealants.

Everything is photographed and logged to your property record, so the next visit starts from evidence rather than from memory.

Water travels. The damp patch on a bedroom ceiling is rarely above the failure that caused it, which is why so much money in Dubai gets spent opening the wrong wall. We trace the ingress first, by moisture mapping, flood testing and thermal imaging, then strip back to a sound substrate, apply the correct membrane system for that detail and test it before anything is closed up again.

If this is what you are dealing with, send a photograph on WhatsApp — we will tell you what it is and what it costs before anyone is dispatched.
