Common areas that need waterproofing include basements, foundations, roofs, balconies, bathrooms, and exterior walls. Any area exposed to moisture or water should be considered for waterproofing.

Waterproofing systems should be inspected annually and maintained as needed. Regular inspections help identify any potential issues early, preventing significant damage and extending the lifespan of the waterproofing system.

Yes, waterproofing can be applied to both new and existing structures. For existing buildings, various methods like coatings, sealants, and membranes can be used to enhance water resistance.

Signs include damp or musty smells, visible mould or mildew, water stains on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, and dampness in the basement or crawl spaces. Addressing these signs early can prevent more severe damage.

The duration of the waterproofing process depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. A professional assessment will provide a more accurate timeline for your specific needs.
