Waterproofing applications for every building challenge
Expert methods and premium materials for complete water protection.
Proven expertise across multiple systems
With over 10 years of proven experience and 500+ completed projects, Schaefer Waterproofing has mastered a comprehensive range of waterproofing techniques and membrane systems. Our extensive experience across liquid membranes, sheet systems, spray applications, injection techniques, and specialised repair methods ensures we select the optimal solution for your specific building requirements.
Liquid membranes
We apply high-performance liquid membrane systems that form a seamless, flexible waterproof barrier. These systems adapt to building movement while providing superior protection against water ingress. Perfect for complex details and irregular surfaces where sheet membranes may not be suitable.
Sheet membranes
Our certified technicians install a variety of sheet membrane, including peel and stick, undertile butynol, heat welded and torch on membranes, that provide reliable, long-lasting waterproofing. These systems offer consistent thickness and excellent adhesion to various substrates, making them ideal for areas with safety restrictions.
Spray applied waterproofing
Our spray-applied systems create monolithic, seamless waterproof barriers that conform to any surface shape. This efficient application method allows us to cover large areas quickly while maintaining consistent quality and thickness across the entire surface.
Polyurethane injection
We address water leaks at their source using specialised crack injection techniques for below-ground applications. Our negative-side injection methods seal active leaks and prevent future water ingress without the need for excavation or structural disruption.
Damp proof course (DPC) cream
Our damp proof course cream injection system stops rising damp at the lowest visible part of the wall. This proven remediation method creates an effective barrier within existing masonry walls, protecting your building from moisture damage while preserving structural integrity.
Bentonite membranes
We apply bentonite membrane systems that provide self-healing waterproofing properties. These clay-based systems swell when in contact with water, creating an impermeable barrier that adapts to minor structural movements over time.
