The detail
What a good waterproofing quote includes
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each waterproofer's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.
Licence number. On the quote, and verify it before work starts.
Compliance certificate. An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.
Membrane brand. The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.
Substrate preparation. Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.
Number of coats. Liquid membranes need at least two coats.
Flood testing. A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.

Local conditions
Things that can impact your job
These factors affect waterproofing work in this area — worth discussing with your tradie.
Fire-Rated Materials and Ember Guard Checks
Charbon is in the highest bushfire risk category. Fire-rated materials may be required for exterior waterproofer work, and regular gutter and debris clearing is essential. Ember guard fittings should be checked on any roof or vent work.
Seasonal Rainfall
Charbon gets moderate rainfall, so timing matters for exterior waterproofer work. Targeting the drier months gives the best run of uninterrupted days.
Cooler Months Give Better Results
Summers in Charbon are warm enough to affect exterior waterproofer work — materials can dry or cure too quickly on the hottest days. Your tradie will plan their work around the temperature — prep and shade-side work in the heat, application when conditions are right.
Pipe Freeze Risk
Heavy frost in Charbon means pipe freeze protection is critical. All exposed plumbing needs insulation, and outdoor water systems should have isolation valves for winter shutdown.
