Waterproofing of balconies and terraces

Get free advice from a process engineer

Tiles are peeling off on the balcony or terrace, and there are signs of water damage underneath. It is important to fix the problem in time, before it affects the supporting structure.

Balconies and terraces send out warning signals long before the owners realize the extent of the damage. Tiles crack and peel off.Wet spots form on the underside of the slabs, salt deposits appear, and plaster peels off.

All these are signs that the waterproofing of the balcony or terrace has either not been done at all or has been done incorrectly. Water penetrates the structure, freezes, expands, and the damage progresses with each season.

If the problem is not solved in time, the facade elements and load-bearing structures of the building may be damaged. And that’s a whole different scale of restoration work!

Solution

We offer waterproofing technology for balconies and terraces that will last for decades without the need for frequent repairs.

We offer several finishing layer options to choose from:

classic option with subsequent tile laying
modern system based on polyurethane mastics
a system known as the "stone carpet"

We know exactly how to make reliable waterproofing for new buildings — in compliance with all technical requirements and standards.
And if the waterproofing of a balcony or terrace has already had to be redone, we will show you how to make it truly “once and for all,” without repeated repairs.

1. Removal of old coating

Removing tiles or other finishing layers

2. Diagnosis of the base

Checking the condition of the screed, identifying problems

3. If necessary, pour a new screed with a slope.

Creating a solid foundation for further waterproofing

4. Waterproofing

Application of waterproofing layers

5. Finish coating

We offer several finishing options to choose from, depending on your preferences and design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does moisture, mold, and white deposits appear at the bottom of the balcony slab?
The main reason is a breach or lack of waterproofing. Water penetrates the structure, accumulates in the screed, and gradually destroys the slab. This leads to the appearance of damp spots, salt deposits, mold, and plaster peeling. If the problem is not eliminated, over time, not only the balcony but also the facade and load-bearing structures of the building will be destroyed.
How can you tell that waterproofing is no longer effective?
There are early warning signs: tiles "rattle" and lose their grip on the base, there is a hollow feeling underneath them, cracks and unstable areas appear. Moist spots are visible on the underside of the slab, mold appears, and the finish begins to fall off. All these signs indicate that the structure is leaking water and needs urgent repair.
Which is better: tiles or modern polyurethane systems?
All these options are completely reliable, differing only in design.
Tiles are a classic, aesthetic, and familiar option.
Polyurethane waterproofing is a modern, seamless solution available in various colors with the option of sprinkling colored flakes.
Stone carpet is a durable, mechanically resistant covering that is gaining popularity, in the form of small colored pebbles.
We will offer the best option depending on the condition of the base, budget, and preferences.


Is it possible to restore waterproofing without completely removing the tiles?
In most cases, no. If the tile has already lost its adhesion or there are voids under it, local repairs will not provide a long-lasting result. For high-quality waterproofing, it is necessary to remove the old coating, diagnose the base, and often install a new screed with a slope. This is the only way to guarantee a "once and for all" result.
How long does it take to waterproof a balcony or terrace?
The timeframe depends on the scope of work, the need for dismantling and re-pouring the screed with reinforcement, and the chosen technology. We will give you an exact timeframe after diagnosing and assessing the condition of the slab.
How durable is waterproofing?
We use technologies that last for decades. When installed correctly, in compliance with all standards and with attention to all components, waterproofing does not require annual repairs and reliably protects the structure from moisture, freezing, and damage. Polyurethane systems have the same long service life as traditional tile coverings — they retain their elasticity and tightness for a long time despite constant temperature changes and exposure to ultraviolet rays.
