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

Apply a liquid membrane or new covering with proper upstands and outlets.

Typical Dublin price: €40–€90 per m². The final price depends on:

  • Area and depth of the space
  • Water pressure and whether a sump pump is needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I waterproof over my old roof?

Sometimes, with a liquid system, if the existing roof is sound and dry.

How much does roof waterproofing cost in Dublin?

Typically €40–€90 per m². The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.

How urgent is roof waterproofing?

Deal with it before winter.

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.
