Top 5 Things To Ask Your Waterproofing Professional

August 16, 2022

 When you need waterproofing, professional expertise matters. A licensed, experienced tradesperson has the skills and knowledge needed to give your property the protection it needs. Not sure what to ask a waterproofing professional when you call them out for a job? Here's a handy list of our top 5 questions to have on hand.

Are You Licensed?

A qualified waterproofing expert will carry certification in Construction Waterproofing, which they would have obtained through a professional body. They'll also hold a license in waterproofing, demonstrating they have training in successful waterproofing techniques and practical applications. There are specialised waterproofing experts offering their services, but you might even find your regular building contractor or plumber carries the license needed to get the job done right.

Are You A Member Of An Association?

If a building contractor, plumber, or waterproofing professional is a member of an association in their industry, you'll have confidence they will maintain high standards of work, reliability, and compliance with rules and requirements. These associations require their members to practice their trade with excellent workmanship and commitment to upholding regulations within the industry.

Do You Have Experience?

A waterproofing professional might be licensed and an association member, but they may not carry the experience needed to give you that reassurance they'll get the job done right. Asking to read testimonials or feedback from customers can give you a good insight into their past work and how it has been received by their clients.

Will You Issue Guarantees And Warranties?

A written guarantee on any waterproofing done on your property will stand you in good stead. Faults or issues can arise long after the work has been done, so it's important you keep any documents safe in case you need them in the future. Additionally, if a waterproofing professional does issue a warranty on their work, this indicates to you they are confident in the quality of their workmanship and take pride in what they do - a real selling point when it comes to finding the right person for the job.

Is Your Work Compliant?

 Any waterproofing work must comply with Australian Standards detailing regulations for domestic or exterior waterproofing applications. These standards outline the minimum requirements work needs to meet in order to be considered effective and safe. You may need further waterproofing on your property, depending on its nature, and your building contractor can help you to assess which areas might benefit from this added protection.
