The Low-Disruption Fix: Leaking Balconies Without Tile Removal.
The Balcony Leak Problem: Usually the Grout, Not the Slab
In many cases, water ingress in a tiled balcony is not caused by a failed slab, but by a failed or cracked grout and joint sealant system. Water penetrates these joints, saturates the screed beneath the tiles, and then migrates laterally until it reaches the substrate below or the room below. The key is to stop the water at the surface without the destructive, expensive process of removing all the tiles.
Our Low-Disruption Remediation Process
We specialize in targeted, low-disruption systems that save time, money, and most importantly, the original aesthetics of the balcony.
- Grout Removal: Carefully remove old, cracked, or compromised grout lines.
- Injection/Sealing: Injecting specialized flexible epoxy sealants into critical joints and re-grouting with high-performance, water-repellent grout.
- Final Finish: Applying an invisible, penetrating sealer over the entire tile surface to reduce porosity.
This method minimizes disruption to residents and is significantly faster and more cost-effective than full demolition and re-waterproofing.
A Note for Body Corporates
When dealing with multiple balconies, the low-disruption fix is essential to manage budgets and resident inconvenience. Always prioritize a solution that guarantees against water migration into the screed layer.
