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.
Seasonal Rainfall
Unley gets moderate rainfall, so timing matters for exterior waterproofing work. Targeting the drier months gives the best run of uninterrupted days.
Cooler Months Give Better Results
Summers in Unley are warm enough to affect exterior waterproofing 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
Unley'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.
Premium Finishes
Properties in Unley typically feature higher-end finishes and fittings. Ask your waterproofer about their experience with premium materials — the right techniques and products make a real difference with quality surfaces.
Best time of year for exterior waterproofing in Unley
Ideal months: October to April.
Based on typical local rainfall, temperature and humidity.
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.
