Balcony repair and membrane replacement

Waterproofing membranes protect buildings from water, moisture, and humidity. Over time, they can weaken and need fixing. In this guide, we’ll cover key points about balcony repairs and membrane restoration, including when it’s needed, how it’s done, and who should do it.

Knowing When Balcony Membrane Restoration is Needed:

Visual Inspection:
Regular visual checks help spot problems early. Look for cracks, blisters, or peeling on the membrane. These signs mean the membrane might be weak
Water Ingress: Water stains on walls or ceilings show the membrane is leaking. Stains on the soffit under the balcony mean

water is getting in and you need immediate balcony repair.

Age and Maintenance History: Membranes last 10 to 20 years, depending on materials, installation, and upkeep. Knowing the age and care history of your balcony membrane helps you know when it might need repairs or a full balcony restoration.

Choosing the Right Path for a Balcony Membrane Repair: Resurfacing vs. Replacement

As experts in membrane repairs, we help you make smart choices to keep your waterproofing strong. Here are two main options: resurfacing and replacement.

Option 1: Resurfacing the Membrane

Resurfacing is a cost-effective choice if the membrane still works well in parts. We carefully check the membrane, prepare the surface, patch and repair it, and add a top-quality coating. This refreshes the membrane without needing a full replacement.

Option 2: Complete Membrane Replacement

If the membrane is too damaged, we can replace it completely. This involves removing the old membrane, preparing the base, and installing a new, strong waterproofing membrane. Our skilled team handles this with care, ensuring long-lasting protection. This includes reinforcing steel and railing replacement to improve safety and durability.
