5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Waterproofing Specialist

Hiring a waterproofing specialist is a key step in protecting your home from leaks, water damage, and costly repairs. But not all providers offer the same level of experience, service, or quality. Before committing, it helps to ask the right questions to ensure you’re making an informed decision.

Here are five questions worth asking when researching bathroom waterproofing specialists.

1. What Experience Do You Have With Bathrooms?

Bathrooms are high-moisture areas and demand precision waterproofing. It’s important to choose a provider who regularly works with bathrooms and understands common issues such as leaking showers and cracked grout.

At Megasealed, our technicians have specialised in bathroom waterproofing for over 29 years. We’ve completed hundreds of thousands of leaks repairs using proven techniques that prioritise longevity and cost-effectiveness.

2. Are You Licensed and Insured?

Waterproofing involves working with membranes, joints, tiling, and plumbing-adjacent structures. Because of this, many Australian states require waterproofers to hold a licence. You should also ensure that your provider has adequate insurance in place to protect your home and their workers.

Our team consists of fully trained and licensed technicians who follow Australian Standards and safety protocols. We also offer clear documentation and transparent service agreements as part of our commitment to professional service.

3. Can You Explain How You Waterproof Showers or Balconies?

Understanding the process gives you confidence in your provider. A good technicians should be able to walk you through the basics of how to waterproof tiled surfaces from start to finish. This includes how the area is prepped, which materials or membranes are used, and how long the drying and curing time takes.

Megasealed’s leak repair process is fast, effective, and often completed without the need to remove tiles. We use high-quality sealants and membranes, and we take the time to explain the process, so you know what to expect.

4.     Do You Offer a Warranty?

High-quality waterproofing services should come with a warranty. This gives you peace of mind that the work is built to last and that the provider is confident in their materials and workmanship.

At Megasealed, we provide warranties on many of our services, including our waterproofing solutions. Our goal is to deliver long-term value, and that includes backing our work with guarantees for the quality of our repairs.

5. Do You Offer Non-Tile Removal Options?

Some providers, including Megasealed, specialise in solutions that don’t require tile removal. These options can reduce cost and minimise disruption to your home, especially when the damage is limited to targeted areas such as joints or grout.

Our bathroom renewal service focuses on refreshing problem areas quickly and cleanly. Whether you need regrouting, sealing or shower base repairs, we can restore the space without the need for a full renovation.

Don’t Leave Waterproofing to Chance

Choose the right waterproofing specialist starts with asking the right questions. From understanding their experience to clarifying the scope of work, it’s all about making sure you’re protecting your home with confidence.
