Balcony Waterproofing in Singapore

Hydroseal waterproofs open balconies, terraces and planter boxes in condominiums and landed homes across Singapore. We correct ponding and falls, lay a proper membrane under the tiles and seal the edges so rain does not seep into the rooms below, backed by a Certificate of Warranty of up to 10 years.

An open balcony takes Singapore monsoon rain head-on, with no roof to shield it. Over time the membrane under the tiles breaks down, water ponds instead of draining, and it finds its way through cracks and edges into the living room or bedroom next to or below it. Planter boxes are even harder hit because the soil holds water against the structure all day.

Balcony problems we fix

Ponding water that will not drain

Flat or wrongly graded balconies trap rainwater, which then works its way through the smallest gaps. We restore the fall so water runs to the outlet.

Seepage into rooms below or beside

Damp patches and peeling paint on the adjoining wall or downstairs ceiling point to a failed balcony membrane. We seal it at the source.

Tile debonding and lifting

Water trapped under tiles loosens them and cracks the grout. We address the waterproofing beneath, not just the loose tiles on top.

Planter box leaks

Soil keeps moisture against the structure constantly. We tank planter boxes so the water stays in the box and out of your walls.

Balcony waterproofing methods

Chosen to suit whether your balcony is tiled, exposed or a planter box.

Membrane under tiles

For a full re-do, we lift the finish, lay a fresh waterproofing membrane, then reinstate screed and tiles to the correct fall.

Ponding and fall correction

We re-screed to restore the gradient so rainwater drains to the outlet instead of pooling on the surface.

Crack and joint sealing

PU injection and joint treatment to stop active seepage through cracks, edges and the wall-to-floor junction.

Planter box tanking

Internal tanking of planter boxes so moisture from the soil is held inside the box and kept off your structure.

How we work

One clear process, start to warranty

The same disciplined method on every job, so you always know what happens next and why.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    A free, no-obligation site inspection. We trace the water path to its true source, not just where the stain shows, using moisture mapping and, where needed, rope-access close-up survey.

  2. 02

    Recommend

    A clear written recommendation matched to your building, budget and timeline: the method, why it suits Singapore’s climate, what it costs, and how long it lasts.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Our trained crews carry out the works with minimal disruption, surface preparation, treatment and protective coating done to specification, with safety and tidiness on site.

  4. 04

    Document

    You receive a photographic record of the works and, for façade inspections, a full condition report, the documentation facility managers need for BCA and building records.

  5. 05

    Warranty

    Every completed project is backed by a Certificate of Warranty, from 1 to 10 years depending on the system, so the result is protected long after we leave.

Common questions

Straight answers to what homeowners and building managers ask us most.

Light rain may drain away before it can get through, but heavy monsoon downpours overwhelm a balcony with poor falls or a failed membrane, so water ponds and forces its way in. That is why the leak seems to come and go. We test and inspect during dry conditions and identify the entry points before they cause more damage.
