Discuss your requirements Specialist remedial waterproofing, membrane testing and new-build waterproofing solutions across Western Australia.
From failed waterproofing systems to breaches in newly installed membranes, water ingress can create costly damage, delays and disruption.
Detec Australia assesses what has failed, defines a practical response and delivers the work needed to restore or verify the waterproofing system.
Clear diagnosis. Practical repair. Better waterproofing outcomes.
Specialist capability for existing failures, exposed membrane testing and new construction.
We assess failed or compromised waterproofing, determine an appropriate response, prepare the affected area and repair or reinstate the waterproofing system.
Electronic Leak Detection tests the integrity of an exposed waterproofing membrane and identifies breaches within that waterproofing membrane.
We provide properly detailed waterproofing systems for new construction, with membrane integrity testing available before the waterproofing membrane is covered.
A clear process keeps recommendations proportionate, repair scopes practical and completed work accountable.
Talk through the problemReview the conditions, affected areas and available project information.
Establish what has failed, the extent of the work and the appropriate response.
Prepare the area and reinstate the waterproofing system using suitable methods.
Where appropriate, test the exposed completed membrane before it is covered.
A thin layer of water creates a conductive testing surface across an exposed waterproofing membrane. Specialised equipment then identifies electrical paths through breaches such as pinholes, punctures and defective details.
Defects can be located, repaired and retested before protection layers, finishes or other construction elements are installed.
The method can verify newly installed membranes and suitable exposed membranes associated with remedial work.
Examples of remedial delivery and membrane verification across Western Australia.
16,000 m²The relatively new 16,000 m² car park had experienced issues since completion, with water dripping into the shops below. The topping slab and membrane were removed and the area prepared for a new two-layer bitumen torch-on membrane system. Detec Australia scanned each completed section, marked any breaches and retested repairs before the slip sheet, mesh and new concrete topping slab were installed.
Perth CBDFreyssinet was contracted to remove the tiling, repair the existing waterproof membrane on one half of the building and install a new membrane system on the remaining half. Detec Australia was engaged to locate leaks in the first section and test the newly installed membrane to confirm its integrity.
160 m²Testing was completed with both the horizontal scanning platform and vertical roller unit. The installed system was confirmed watertight, with 160 m² of membrane, including upstands and stairs, tested in less than two hours so the project could proceed to tiling.
The way we work is as important as the system we recommend.
Focused technical thinking shaped by real waterproofing and construction conditions.
Clear recommendations proportionate to the building, the failure and the required outcome.
Careful workmanship, suitable systems and verification where it adds value.
