Service Overview

Engineering Excellence in Waterproofing

Thobal protects structures with engineered waterproofing systems for roofs, basements, wet areas, and below-grade structures. Our specialist teams install liquid-applied membranes, sheet membranes, cementitious coatings, and crystalline systems selected for each exposure condition — with a fully documented warranty-backed installation. Every application follows strict substrate preparation, primer, and membrane installation procedures, verified by flood testing and leak detection to deliver a dry, protected structure for decades of service.

Scope of Work

Scope of Work & Deliverables

Dedicated engineering supervision and full-scope execution across every stage of waterproofing.

Waterproofing covers roofs, basements, wet areas, and plant rooms using liquid-applied, sheet, cementitious, and crystalline systems, with expansion joint detailing and sealant installation after strict substrate preparation and priming.

Each installation is verified by flood testing, electronic leak detection, and documented inspection before cover works, backed by warranty-backed materials for decades of dry, protected service in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings.

Execution follows a sequenced membrane methodology — substrate preparation, priming, base and detail membranes at penetrations and upstands, and protection layers — with layer-by-layer inspection before any cover works. Quality assurance combines flood testing, electronic leak detection, and photographic documentation at each stage, while safety governs confined-space entry, hot work, and chemical handling. Deliverables include warranty-backed application records, test certificates, as-built membrane plans, and maintenance guidance for long-term structural protection.

Client Enquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and commercial questions regarding waterproofing execution.

System selection depends on exposure — roofs, basements, and wet areas each have specific requirements. Our engineers assess substrate, hydrostatic pressure, and traffic, then recommend the optimum system.
Every installation is flood-tested or leak-tested, and each membrane layer is inspected and documented before cover works. This staged verification is part of our warranty process.
Yes. We carry out remedial waterproofing for roofs, basements, and wet areas using negative-side and coating systems, including leak location surveys to identify and seal the source.
We provide warranty-backed installations typically covering 10 years on structural waterproofing, with manufacturer warranties of 10–25 years on certified systems.
Yes. All pipe, sleeve, and cable penetrations are detailed and sealed with tested collar and membrane termination details to preserve system integrity.
