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-Compliant Materials May Be Required
Gemmells has high bushfire risk — fire-compliant materials may be needed for exterior waterproofer work. Keep gutters and roof valleys clear, and check ember protection on any vent or opening work.
Seasonal Rainfall
Gemmells 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 Gemmells 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.
Root Intrusion Risk
Gemmells has very heavy tree canopy — root intrusion into sewer and stormwater lines is one of the most common plumbing issues here. Proactive drain inspections can catch problems before they become emergencies.
Moderate Water Hardness
Gemmells'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.

- Fire-compliant materials for exterior work
- CCTV drain inspection — proactive
- Annual hot water system anode check
