Waterproofing for Lake Macquarie Renovations
Renovating a home or commercial property is the ideal time to assess and upgrade its waterproofing systems. Older buildings often suffer from deteriorating membranes, cracked substrates or outdated sealing methods that no longer meet modern standards.
Whether you're reconfiguring a kitchen, or adding a new outdoor space, it’s essential to prevent water ingress before cosmetic finishes go in. At Legend Waterproofing, we specialise in diagnosing weaknesses in existing structures and applying tailored waterproofing solutions that preserve and enhance your renovation. We ensure every surface—horizontal or vertical—is fully protected and future-ready. We also offer general and new-build waterproofing.

Common Renovation Waterproofing Services
Renovation waterproofing bridges old with new, reinforcing existing structures while meeting current waterproofing standards.
- Membrane Replacement & Upgrades
We remove outdated or failing membranes and replace them with modern systems designed for longer life and improved flexibility. - Substrate Repair & Sealing
Surfaces are repaired and primed to accept new waterproofing—this includes fixing cracks, removing efflorescence and levelling the area. - Balcony & Courtyard Remediation
We restore outdoor living areas where moisture ingress has caused damage, applying new membranes compatible with tiles or exposed finishes. - Joinery & Fixture Interface Sealing
We focus on sealing junctions between cabinetry, walls, and floors—especially in wet areas—where small leaks can lead to major problems over time.
How do I know if my current waterproofing is failing?
Common signs include bubbling paint, mould growth, water stains or a damp smell—especially in lower-level rooms and around wet areas. Tiles lifting or grout cracking can also signal moisture beneath the surface. During a renovation, removing finishes often exposes previous water damage. Our team can assess these issues and recommend targeted waterproofing upgrades.
Do I need to waterproof areas even if I’m not moving plumbing?
Yes. Renovations often disturb existing membranes, even if plumbing remains in place. Any removal of floor coverings, wall linings or fixtures can break the original waterproofing seal. Applying new membranes ensures your renovated space meets compliance and won’t be vulnerable to hidden leaks. Prevention is far more cost-effective than post-renovation repairs.
