What to check before you hire a waterproofing specialist
- Ask which BS 8102 approach will be used and why
- Ask whether the system includes a sump and pump, and what happens in a power cut
- Get the guarantee in writing, ideally insurance-backed for larger jobs
- For showers and wet rooms, ask what tanking system is used under the tiles
- Check that surface water and gutters have been ruled out first
What the fix involves and what it costs
Remove finishes, apply a new membrane with correct falls and outlets, and refinish.
Typical Dublin price: €1,000–€4,000. The final price depends on:
- Area and depth of the space
- Water pressure and whether a sump pump is needed
- Preparation, including removing old plaster or finishes
- Access

Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for balcony leaks in an apartment?
It depends on the lease and management company. Balconies are often common areas.
How much does balcony waterproofing cost in Dublin?
Typically €1,000–€4,000. The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.
How urgent is balcony waterproofing?
Fix before it affects the structure or neighbours.
What is the difference between damp-proofing and waterproofing?
Damp-proofing resists moisture. Waterproofing resists water under pressure, as in basements below ground level.
Do I need a sump pump?
If the system collects water, like a cavity drain membrane, a sump pump removes it. A battery backup is recommended.
Can a shower leak without me seeing it?
Yes. Water can get through grout and failed seals into the floor or wall for months before you see stains.
