Huskisson South Coast NSW
Marty and the SCW team waterproof balconies, bathrooms, tops of screed and retaining walls across the South Coast, with 20+ years on the tools. Scroll down and watch a balcony go together the way we do it.
01 / 07 Preparation
"The waterproofing system is only as good as the preparation underneath it."
Strip it back to the slab. Clean, sound, dry, and free from dust, contaminants and loose material.
02 / 07 Falls
Adequate falls towards the drainage points come first. Waterproofing won't fix poor drainage.
Watch the drop: the screed carries it straight to the floor waste. No ponding.
03 / 07 Prime
Priming the surface sets up strong adhesion and long-lasting performance, matched to the substrate and the system going on top.
04 / 07 Reinforce
Bond breakers and reinforcement go to every corner, joint, penetration and movement area. That is where water gets in.
On our recent balconies: a self-adhesive butyl rubber sheet membrane, with every seam and edge striped in blue.
05 / 07 Two coats
Two coats of ACTFLEX 906, a water-based polyurethane membrane. The second goes on once the first has cured, at the thickness compliance asks for.
How we waterproof balconies06 / 07 Tiles, then rain
The tiles go on and nobody sees our work again. That's the point. Let it rain.
"You'll never see their work once it's done, but you'll damn sure notice if it wasn't."
07 / 07 Below the water table
Most people avoid working below the water table. We built a reputation there: retaining and basement walls, membrane on the wet side, drainage at the footing, and a dry side that stays dry.
Retaining and basement wallsYour job next
No job too big, no job too small. Balconies, bathrooms, tops of screed, retaining walls and leak repairs, from 4/24 Duranbah Drive, Huskisson, across the South Coast.

What customers say
Marty was absolutely amazing to work with and his waterproofing is a thing of beauty.
After having problems with some very dodgy work done by tilers claiming to be waterproofers, we wanted an expert for the 5 wet areas in our new house build. Marty did not disappoint.
He was great to deal with, responsive, quick, friendly and helpful. His work is immaculate. I have full confidence that we'll never have a single issue. It is very clear that Marty takes great pride in his work.
100% recommend Marty and SCW South Coast Waterproofing.
5 Stars. Outstanding Work!
We recently had South Coast Waterproofing complete waterproofing on two of our properties, including eight bathrooms and multiple balconies, and I can confidently say the quality of work was exceptional. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and extremely thorough.
They took the time to explain the process, used top-quality materials, and ensured everything was completed to the highest standard. The attention to detail and care they showed on both jobs really stood out. It’s clear they take pride in their work.
We’ve had zero issues since the work was done, and I now have total peace of mind knowing everything has been properly sealed and protected. Highly recommend South Coast Waterproofing if you’re looking for skilled, honest, and dependable professionals.
Thanks again for a job very well done!
Great service, quoted me within the hour! Impressed
