FAQ

Waterproofing inspections in Point Cook: common questions

What does a starved membrane mean?

The coating has been applied too thinly, so it is not at the thickness the product requires to work. It looks finished and is not.

Why not check at handover?

By then it is under tile, and inspecting it means removing that tile.

Which standard?

AS 3740 for waterproofing of domestic wet areas, with the NCC.

Do you flood test?

No. Flood testing is intrusive and sits with the waterproofer.

Separate from fixing?

Victorian builders generally combine the two into fixing including waterproofing.

Who fixes it?

The waterproofer, before tiling.
