Waterproofing Your Balcony: Mistakes to Avoid

Rain gets everywhere, especially in Sydney. Doesn’t matter how new the balcony is—once water’s got a way in, you’re on borrowed time. There’s a weird comfort in thinking, “It won’t happen to me,” until you’re staring at bubbling paint or mould sneaking across the skirting board. When someone mentions a trusted waterproofing contractor, it shouldn’t just be the person who offered the lowest quote last time. It ought to mean someone who’s seen the aftermath—the cracked tiles, the repairs that never seem to end, and the bills that keep coming. Dodgy fixes save nothing. The trick is catching things before the rot sets in, even if it means paying a bit more now.
