Concrete Rooftop Waterproofing & Leak Repairs
Concrete rooftop waterproofing plays a critical role in protecting commercial or multi-residential buildings – especially for those located in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Being constantly exposed to Queensland’s harsh climate – over time even the most durable rooftop waterproofing systems can break down, leaving your building vulnerable to costly water ingress, concrete damage and internal leaks.
Whether you’ve noticed signs of moisture seeping into the top floor of your building, or your rooftop membrane is showing visible signs of wear – our experienced team is here to help.
We specialise in identifying the source of rooftop leaks and delivering tailored remedial waterproofing solutions backed by over 15 years of experience.
Our Concrete Rooftop Waterproofing Process
Our team provides a full assessment and tailored repair strategy for your rooftop, which may include removal and re-application of trafficable membranes, crack injection or concrete repair.
We use premium waterproofing products, industry-proven techniques and modern equipment to restore the integrity of your roof and protect your building long-term.
Typical rooftop leak sealing and remedial waterproofing services can include:
- Inspection and moisture detection to locate the source of water ingress
- Removal of damaged membrane or coatings
- Application of moisture barrier primers and polyurethane or acrylic membranes
- Treatment of all visible joints and cracks using high-performance sealants
- High-pressure polyurethane injection at key water entry points, such as around pipe or service penetrations
- Surface preparation and recoating where required to ensure seamless protection
Common Causes of Leaking Concrete Rooftop Areas
Rooftop areas—particularly those in older or high-use buildings—are often overlooked when it comes to regular maintenance. But as the first line of defence against water ingress, the rooftop waterproofing membrane must be monitored and maintained to remain effective.
Here are the most common causes of rooftop leaks we see throughout South East Queensland:
UV Degradation and Weather Exposure
Constant exposure to sunlight and harsh weather conditions slowly breaks down membranes, leading to cracks, bubbling, or brittleness that allows water to penetrate.
Water Ponding and Poor Drainage
Flat or low-sloped roofs can experience water pooling if not properly graded or drained, increasing membrane stress and the risk of leaks over time.
Failed or Deteriorated Membranes
Older membrane systems may shrink, lift at the seams, or crack, especially around penetrations such as vents, ducts and pipework.
Structural Movement or Settlement
Rooftops are prone to movement due to thermal expansion, structural settlement or vibration, which can cause cracks or split joints that compromise waterproofing.
Damaged or Poorly Sealed Penetrations
Pipe penetrations, plant equipment bases, lift overruns and ducting all create weak points if not properly sealed—often the origin of hard-to-find leaks.
Inadequate Maintenance and Repairs
Temporary patch jobs or poor workmanship during repairs often fail under pressure, allowing hidden leaks to worsen over time.
