North Shore jobs tend to be bigger and more complex than average — larger homes on steeper blocks, more built-in balconies and retaining structures, and more basements cut into the hillside. Water doesn’t just sit here, it moves downhill through the property.

What we see in the North Shore

• Steep blocks and retaining walls. A lot of North Shore properties are built into a slope, which means retaining wall waterproofing and drainage matter as much as the membrane itself.
• Basements and lower ground floors. Hillside blocks often have below-ground rooms that need proper tanking, not just a surface membrane, to stay dry through winter.
• Larger, older homes. Bigger houses mean more junctions, more balconies, and often multiple bathrooms that have each been renovated at different times with different results.

Frequently asked

Do you do retaining wall waterproofing on the North Shore?

Yes, it’s a regular part of our work here given how many properties are built on a slope. We look at drainage as much as the wall itself.

Can you waterproof a basement or lower ground floor?

Yes. Below-ground areas need a different approach to a bathroom or balcony — proper tanking against constant ground moisture, not just a surface coat.
