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'.

Local conditions
Things that can impact your job
These factors affect waterproofing work in this area — worth discussing with your tradie.
Seasonal Rainfall
Adelaide 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 Adelaide 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.
Moderate Water Hardness
Adelaide's water is moderately hard — limescale builds up on hot water elements and shower screens over time. An annual hot water system check helps catch issues early.
Strata Area
Adelaide is predominantly apartments and units — body corporate approval is often needed before external work can start. Check with your owners corporation early in the process.
Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed
Adelaide is predominantly apartments and units. Body corporate approval is typically required before waterproofer work affecting common property, shared wiring, or building systems. Check with your owners corporation early — approval can add weeks.
Your Adelaide waterproofing checklist
- Annual hot water system anode check
