Waterproofing Membrane Installation Sydney
At Microcement Services NSW, we specialise in delivering premium waterproofing membrane systems for residential, commercial, and remedial applications. Our services cover the entire process—from removing existing membranes and carrying out essential concrete repairs, including concrete cancer treatment, to installing a brand-new waterproofing system.
Our experienced team focuses on reliability, efficiency, and value. You can count on us to reinforce and safeguard your property with skilled waterproofing solutions and professional results anywhere in Sydney & NSW.
How Much Does Waterproofing Membrane Installation Cost?
Waterproofing membrane installation typically ranges from $300 to $600 per square metre, depending on the job’s specific requirements. The total price can vary based on the materials selected and the complexity of the project.
Below are the key factors that influence pricing:
TYPE OF MEMBRANE:
Different waterproofing systems come with varying material and application costs. Some products require specialised techniques or multiple layers, which can increase labour time.
SIZE OF THE AREA:
Smaller sections often incur higher costs per square metre due to preparation time and detailed workmanship. Larger areas usually benefit from reduced rates because the work is more efficient at scale.
CONDITION OF THE SURFACE:
If the existing substrate has cracks, damage, or uneven surfaces, additional preparation or repair work may be needed, which can affect the final price.
ACCESSABILITY:
Hard-to-reach locations or areas requiring special equipment and safety measures can add to labour time and overall project cost.
Time Required For Waterproofing Installation
Waterproofing membrane installation can take 1 to 2 days for small residential projects like a bathroom, or up to a week or more for larger jobs, depending on factors like size, complexity, surface preparation, and the specific product used. The timeline also includes drying and curing times, which vary significantly: some membranes can be tiled over in 4 hours, while others require 24-48 hours to dry and 7 days or more to fully cure.
Factors Influencing The Timeline
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Any repairs needed for the existing surface add to the project time.
AREA SIZE:
A small bathroom might take 2-3 days, whereas a larger area of up to 250 square meters could take 1-7 days or more.
COMPLEXITIY:
Projects with multiple walls, corners, and drainage outlets will take longer than simpler ones.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:
Weather conditions like high humidity, cold, or rain can slow down drying times.
PRODUCT TYPE:
– Some “express” systems cure in as little as 4 hours.
– Thicker coatings or certain types may require 6-8 hours or more to dry per coat.
– The number of coats required will extend the time, as each coat needs to dry or cure before the next is applied
Drying And Curing Times
DRYING TIME:
The time it takes for the liquid membrane to become dry to the touch.
CURING TIME:
The total time required for the membrane to reach its full strength and be ready for subsequent finishes like tile.
Types Of Waterproofing Membranes We Provide
Liquid-Applied Systems:
This type of membrane is applied as a fluid, forming a continuous, joint-free protective layer once cured. It’s highly adaptable to uneven or complex surfaces, making it an excellent choice for areas like wet rooms, showers, and outdoor terraces. Its flexibility ensures long-lasting performance in high-moisture environments.

Why Expert Waterproofing Matters
When waterproofing isn’t done correctly, it can lead to serious and expensive damage over time. Choosing skilled professionals helps ensure long-lasting protection and peace of mind. Key benefits include:
Preserves Structural Strength:
A quality waterproofing system prevents water from penetrating building surfaces, helping avoid material breakdown, foundation weakening, and long-term structural issues.
Stops Mould and Mildew Growth:
Excess moisture creates the perfect environment for mould and mildew. Proper waterproofing keeps dampness out, supporting a healthier indoor environment.
Improves Indoor Air Quality:
Keeping moisture out helps minimise allergens and airborne contaminants, contributing to cleaner, safer air inside your home or commercial building.
Increases Longevity of Building Components:
Water-resistant surfaces tend to last longer and require fewer repairs, helping reduce ongoing maintenance expenses.
Boosts Property Value:
Properties protected against water damage are more appealing to buyers and often achieve a higher resale value.
Helps Avoid Expensive Fixes:
Preventing leaks early on means avoiding costly restoration work caused by rot, corrosion, or structural failure.
Supports Energy Efficiency:
Water damage can affect insulation performance. A properly sealed structure maintains thermal efficiency and helps reduce energy bills.
Shields Against Environmental Chemicals:
Waterproofing can also protect surfaces from exposure to corrosive substances, such as pollutants and acidic rain.
Assists With Insurance Compliance:
Many insurers require adequate waterproofing for coverage. Proper installation can help prevent disputes or denied claims.
Offers Confidence and Security:
Knowing your property is safeguarded from water intrusion gives you confidence and allows you to enjoy your space without stress.
Investing in professional waterproofing services is a smart way to protect your building, enhance comfort, and maintain long-term structural health.
We Adhere to Australian Waterproofing Regulations
Across Australia, waterproofing systems are required to align with strict national codes and guidelines. Our team ensures every product and method we use is fully compliant, selecting membrane materials that meet recognised Australian standards and industry requirements.
AS 3740-2021 for internal wet area waterproofing.

Common Areas That Need Waterproofing Membranes
Bathrooms & Laundry Rooms:
Wet rooms like bathrooms and laundries face constant moisture exposure. Without proper waterproofing, water from showers, tubs, and appliances can seep into floors and adjoining walls. Installing a membrane system here is crucial to prevent long-term damage and maintain hygiene.
Roofs & Podium Slabs:
Flat roofs and podium structures are exposed to heavy rainfall and weathering. To protect these surfaces, high-performance membranes—such as liquid-applied systems, bitumen sheets, or reinforced membranes—are used depending on the build and design requirements.
Balconies & Outdoor Terraces:
Unprotected balconies can suffer from cracking, water seepage, and tile movement. A waterproofing membrane beneath the surface prevents moisture penetration and safeguards internal living areas, especially in multi-storey buildings.
Car Parks, Tunnels, Lift Pits & Docks:
Underground infrastructure is particularly vulnerable to water intrusion. Specialised waterproofing systems designed to withstand ground pressure and moisture are essential to protect these areas and ensure structural reliability.
Exterior Decks:
Outdoor decks must be sealed to stop water from leaking into living spaces below. High-grade, UV-stable membranes help protect the structure and prolong its lifespan.
Basements & Below-Ground Structures:
Basements are constantly challenged by soil moisture and groundwater pressure. Advanced membranes and drainage solutions are applied to keep these spaces dry and suitable for use.
Planter Boxes & Green Roofs:
Garden beds and rooftop landscaping hold soil and water, which can damage structures if not properly sealed. Waterproofing keeps moisture contained while supporting healthy plant growth.
Pools & Water Features:
Pool shells and surrounding surfaces demand specialised waterproofing to avoid leaks, structural damage, and moisture migration into nearby areas. Membranes are applied to walls, floors, and connection points.
Retaining Walls & Substructure Walls:
Walls that hold back soil are continually exposed to moisture and hydrostatic pressure. Applying positive or negative-side waterproofing ensures no water penetrates the structure or flows into internal areas.
