Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a waterproofer.
Keep Gutters Clear and Check Council Rules
Pimlico Island is classified as bushfire prone land — keeping gutters and roof valleys clear is especially important here. If your property is near bushland, check with council whether any specific requirements apply.
Wind Exposure
Pimlico Island is in an elevated wind area — exterior waterproofer work should use fixings rated for higher wind loads. Make sure your quote specifies wind-appropriate materials.
Moisture Management and Drier-Month Scheduling
Pimlico Island's warm, humid climate means moisture management matters for any exterior work. Good ventilation and moisture barriers prevent issues behind surfaces.
Book Early — Weather Windows Fill Fast
Pimlico Island gets significantly more rainfall than most of Australia — exterior waterproofer work needs to target the drier months. Book well ahead, because the good weather windows fill up fast.
High Termite Activity
Pimlico Island has very high termite activity — annual inspections are essential, and any work involving timber or ground contact should factor in termite management.
Best time of year for exterior waterproofing in Pimlico Island
Ideal months: September.

What's in a good Waterproofing quote?
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.
- 01Licence number
On the quote, and verify it before work starts.
- 02Compliance certificate
An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.
- 03Membrane brand
The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.
- 04Substrate preparation
Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.
- 05Number of coats
Liquid membranes need at least two coats.
- 06Flood testing
A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.
